Tell me about the narcissist in your life.

I don't mean someone who cut you off in traffic or forgot your birthday. I mean someone who can peg the DSM meter(Criteria below) You need not satisfy every one. They're the worst.

Got it? Anyone you know with this disorder?

For me, it's my girlfriend's mother. I won't bore you with everything; suffice it to say that nothing you do is ever good enough(or even the "right" thing). I've been criticized harshly for:
--Bringing her brownies from the bakery
--Visiting sick family members in the hospital
--Attending the wake and funeral of my girlfriend's father(her husband; I actually got a "review")

Years ago, I was informed that she kept in regular touch with my girlfriend's ex-boyfriend. Then she wonders why I want nothing to do with her.

Today, I found out that she talks to his family too.

The ex died two years ago.

This is what I'm talking about.

Anyone else dealing with these loathsome individuals?

Online. There's at least very high narcissistic traits with one. Exaggerated opinion of themselves. Everything they are is about charming with flattery, compliments and accolades, because that is the quickest easiest way to be liked and admired which is what narcissist are about. Feeding that deep need. Being over the top charming to others blinds people to who they are and creates admiration, because it's the ultimate feel good to others.
@Magenta yeah, thru call that toxic positivity .

Yet so many are suckers for it . Pretty words and SUPER AWESOME- fuckingness 🙄

I'm always wary of people like that .

@Magenta The flattery is the "love bombing", just more empty manipulation.

@uncalled4 If it were a man yes. But not in this case. Maybe it could be love bombing on a massive scale,. lol.
