What is your immediate reaction when someone important to you says: I have something against you?

@cherokeepatti: people can be such idiots at times. Geesh.

@ColleenOhara: One is my sister, I was helping her all the time nearly every day when she did this to me...started out by saying "I don't know if you know this but you are weird". I smiled and said "I know I am weird and I don't have a problem with it." (putting the ball back into her court of course) So she started asking me if I'd ever seen a psychiatrist or psychologist, if I was taking any type of medications for mental stuff, and then went on to tell me what type of pharmaceutical I should take because she had taken it a few years....😂...it was all I could do to hold a straight face with her gas-lighting the one person who was helping her, giving her rides and things that she needed but had no $ to buy. So now she can catch the bus for rides or whatever, I'm done. It was this incident and one other that made me realize that no matter what I do for her she'll never change her hateful attitude.

@cherokeepatti: Perhaps she was jealous Patti. I wouldn't wish to keep on helping her either.

Oh yes she is jealous. But when she had everything (a new custom-built home, new car, etc.) and I was scraping by she was damned arrogant to me. She lost it all and now she's jealous after I spent 25 years at one job working my butt off.

@cherokeepatti: in her mind [i]she[/i] was probably always looking out for and helping [i]you.[/i] That's about how narcissists think, isn't it? 😒

@cherokeepatti:
sad, but perhaps karma does exist.

@Ephemeral: She was Gas-lighting me to others I'm sure of that because it's been a pattern with her even back to our young years. She was angry because I wouldn't take her to the casino to play poker, in her mind she thought she could take a little bit of money and multiply it and make some good cash while still getting her Food Stamps and whatever.
