[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The narc I know became that way by being told repeatedly that she was better than everyone else and the rules didn’t apply to her because she was too pretty and too good. How is that trauma to anyone but those of us left to suffer the effects?[/quote]

It’s not trauma in the traditional sense, but it does damage the individual because they’re unable to deal with a reality where they aren’t the best. My mother and sister are both narcissists, but their paths to it were different. My grandmother was a cold bitch who hated my mother and my mother’s children. On the other hand, my mother fawns over my sister and her children. Growing up, my mother constantly told my sister that she was amazing. Every time she had problems at work or was fired, my mother consoled her by saying that people were jealous of her. Different paths but the same outcome. Both of them are unable to cope with life. They see everyone as the enemy and they’re unhappy with how their lives have turned out. I think that any abnormal parenting style is likely going to create a narcissist or some other kind of disorder.[/quote]
