[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well if they're like my mom (I'm a woman), everything has to revolve around her, and she tries to turn any event - someone else's wedding, or funeral - into her show. Doesn't know how to listen to someone else's troubles without trying to "win" it with her own story, interrupts, doesn't listen, only talks about herself. As a child, I was supposed to be her accessory and give her bragging rights, but couldn't ever complain about her. If I did complain, it turned into a vicious vitriolic attack against my whole life. For example, I was told I was a bad baby. My mother is the "church lady" and has been a Sunday School teacher for decades.

Ugh, sounds like my mother -- especially the whole having to "win it with her own story" stuff. No one could talk to her about any kind of hardship or even physical pain without her launching into how she had it harder. And everything, literally everything, was about her -- when my brother was going to vote for a candidate she wasn't voting for and it came up at dinner she flew into a rage and ran crying out of the restaurant (this kind of thing happened a lot and was designed to get people to stop her and sympathize with her). She accused him of making it up to upset her; in other words, he wasn't really interested in voting for this candidate, he just wanted to vote for the candidate to upset her. She literally accused him of deciding on his choice of presidential candidate solely to upset her. Because every decision everyone makes was surely all about her. Insane.

Oh, and I was a "bad baby" too. [/quote]
