I know it's very unpopular and hard to hear but I would again implore women to be honest and look back at the situations and really consider if maybe, just maybe, yes, there was some element in their own personality that made them overly sensitive.  As an adult, if you hear this from a parent, take some time and really consider it.  It might be that you were hearing things in a critical tone that simply was not there. Of course, this doesn't apply to every single woman and yes of course narcissistic mothers exist but as pointed out by a pp, it occurs far less than thought. [/quote]

Again, this isn't helpful for this thread.  I'm the one whose father would say things like "Stop shitting on me, you little shit."  As an adult, I'll call him on it, and he'll tell me that I'm being too sensitive and reading things into it that aren't there, and that I should stop assuming the worst of him and everyone around me.  I don't have these kinds of interactions with emotionally healthy people.  Your words aren't "hard to hear" because they're hitting on an element of a truth, but because they're triggering for those who have dealt with this kind of thing in the past.

There's a huge difference in saying things about people being narcissistic (everyone is, to some extent), and saying that it's hard to deal with someone who fits the profile of someone with NPD to a T.  [/quote]
