[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somebody has a Narcisstic Personality in this scenario, and it's the person who kicked a friend to the curb during an incredibly stressful time for her family.[/quote]

She was actually formally diagnosed after her job forced her into evaluative therapy after trouble at work. Her response was that it was no surprise because she is smarter than most people. [/quote]

Okay, maybe she is a narcissist. Doesnt mean you aren’t also.

She just found out her mom is dying. A fact you still havent shown an ounce of compassion for.  Wow.

When you said something that sounded in content and likely tone like you were an uncaring self-centered person more focused on conveying possibly irrelevant information than offering a friend reeling from the news that her mother was dying a shoulder to cry on, she may not have reacted ideally. A real friend would forgive her that and also feel at least a bit of regret that she had caused her friend heartache at the most painful of moments.

Let me give you some unsolicited advice: dont call when friends find out their parent is dying. Responding compassionately in those moments is not your strong suit. I am sure you have others. Compassion after a heartbreaking health diagnosis isnt one.
