Having a conversation with her is like playing mental gymnastics. She is constantly trying to one up anyone she is talking with or should I say talking at. She will interrupt the speaker with another thought or comment she has without any regard for what the other person is saying. Many times I want to ask her to let me know when I can participate in the conversation. It's easier just to avoid and ignore her. I don't want to get wrapped up in her narrow, shallow world. Dealing with a Narcissistic Family Member - Blog Entry22 Sep 2007 03:23 PM I'm baffled. I've been reading about NPD b/c I have a sister-in-law who is very hard to deal with & be around. She's hot/cold. I can see her one day and she's warm & friendly and a snot/rude the next. She hates for other people to get compliments. Christmas is always at her house. It's miserable. She gives a warm welcome to one sister in law who buys her a table arrangement every year and cold chills to everyone else. She gets very jealous of a brother who bought a new house. She argues that his house is NOT bigger than hers and gets very upset if someone compliments his house. She has an extremely BITING personality. She may ask you how you are but she'll ask it with an edge. However, she is sweet as pie when she wants something which leaves people feeling that she is extremely phony. She talks to her husband and child like they're dogs but when she's out in public she puts on the "perfect family" face! I'm baffled... I feel that this is causing me so much stress I don't even want to go to family functions if she will be there. |
