I have too. But I didn’t know what to call it. And witnessed from a distance. I just didn’t know that’s what it was. I’m sorry you’ve experienced a few. You definitely didn’t deserve that.
Im sorry you're having to deal with someone like that. Never forget your worth or let anyone make you feel like you're not enough.
Narcissists tend to have less willingness to exercise emphaty, express remorse or apologize. Maybe I have too much emphaty towards others that I find it difficult to think that there is people who are inhuman like that and have no emotions? Can one person really not be able to love or have no soul? To me those people clearly have had emotional problems in the past or childhood and don't know how to deal with it? Hurt people, hurt people? It doesn't make it right but that phrase is always in the back of my mind when I deal with difficult people now.
My opinion on this is probably not like most people because I've never experienced being around someone like what your post described although I've slapped that label quickly on people when I felt like I've been hurt in the past.
You're a great person Mel, don't ever let anyone make you think otherwise. ❤
In my experience, I think it was less of an unwillingness to exercise empathy and more of an incapability to do it. It was as if this person stopped growing emotionally at age 6 - and could not, no matter how hard they tried, put themselves in someone else's position, or feel any emotion towards what they were going through. EVEN when prompted. This person could not put someone's else's needs above their own, and unless told otherwise, it didn't even occur to them to THINK about the impact of their choices on other people.
To the point where I feel sorry for them for being so emotionally handicapped.3 -

Yesterday I drove my daughter to the gym (she asked for her 1st membershp last week) I picked up a friend she goes with on our way there. Her mom came out to say hi to me and basically insulted her own daughter in front of me saying she will need to go for more than 1 month if she wants to lose weight and then said she should ask my daughter what she eats so she can be skinny too. She added more comments along those lines. Who the *kitten* speaks to their children like that or anyone for that matter???!!! I had a talk with my daughter about it when she got home and she told me other things. I am not sure some people realize that the way you speak to your children becomes the way they speak to themselves. Some people are so disgusting it makes me sick.
It's extremely sad how some parents choose their words and the way they parent. Kids see with their eyes, but also ears, heart and parents' reactions.I'm so glad you have a close relationship with your dd that you can have eye-opening conversations like those with her.
I remember a mom coming to daycare 1 a.m., clearly exasperated with her young ds and said she should've just gotten a dog.Kids are not dumb. Parents used to go on vacation all the time, using daycare and grandparents instead of taking their children with them. Their children would spend 10-12 hours a day with providers while parents went places without them, didn't matter if it was a day off work or not. Those actions say a lot to a child. It says 'I'd rather not be with you, I don't have time for you'.
Those type of comments from parents affects a child forever and they'll never see themselves as worthy or good enough.:(
It's seriously been bugging me since it happened. I feel so bad for her. My daughter said she barely eats at school when they have their lunch, that girl is 14 and counting her calories! I can tell you one thing, I didn't say much but I *kitten* slapped her mom with my eyes 😆
My youngest has a friend who is fighting an eating disorder (and losing pretty badly) because her mom talks to her like this. It's heartbreaking. Especially when you see it happening and feel powerless to stop it. All you can do is try to change the narrative when they're around you... show them that life is different elsewhere and hope that you plant a seed that takes root as they grow older. *hugs*3 -

Thank you so much T. I really appreciate that. I definitely feel like what I’ve seen personally has been on the lower end of the “narcissism spectrum”. I don’t even know if that’s a thing. Like varying degrees of it? Or short lived from people who never really mattered anyway. So I don’t think I experienced the absolute brutality that some have. I saw something that put narcissistic people in the same category as a rapist because of how predatory they are.
I have a hard time comprehending that too. Just like you said. People who seem to lack empathy or real love....I still have hope for people like that. Sadly, I think that the hope might be misguided though. If they’ve gone through life this long without having those things in their heart....surely nothing I say or do will change that. I don’t even know if it’s possible.
Life is too precious to try to convince people to love us. You can't change a person like that. I hope you're being gentle with yourself and that you're ok. Surround yourself with people who believe in you, people who are positive that make you feel good about yourself xo2 -
