[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not specifically in this context, but I have success in looking [b]narcissistic[/b] people directly in the eye and telling them “My life is not something for you to comment on. I did not invite your commentary. I don’t want it or need it, and I find it upsetting. It makes me feel like a thing and not a real person. Please cut it out.”  I think some people have spent so much time commenting about other people that they really don’t realize that they shouldn’t do it. [/quote]

How do you define narcissistic?  Because nothing that OP described indicates that at all.

I'll admit, I am highly sensitive to people throwing around terms like "breaking boundaries" "narcissistic" and "passive aggressive" as though they are interchangeable with "some pattern or behavior that I don't like."[/quote]

+1.  If a person is really narcissistic, this speech would have no effect on him or her.[/quote]

DP. This kind of speech (but softened somewhat) worked with my MIL. She is definitely not narcissistic- she’s controlling, anxious and impulsive, maybe slightly on the spectrum, and has a borderline eating disorder. But she wants to be with her kids/grandkids more than anything, so she listened. [/quote]
