Does this seem like narcissistic parenting to you?

i definitely see what you mean with the intention to just put the other party down. the second audio clip is sad to listen to…definitely emotionally abusive, as you said. can’t imagine what the “10” would be like to cope with. i tend to tune out anyone domineering/overpowering. even more-so some years ago. i’d view them as my opposite and something i’d never want to become. (ego driven, narcissistic.) i believed i was narcissistic myself for many years just because i was told so. a big sign of the emotional abuse that comes with narcissistic parenting, is having such low self esteem that your whole view of yourself is warped. ofc these things are very personal and everyone has different experiences. but to conclude, it’s very likely that if you’re questioning it, it’s true. these things don’t come to mind without reason. i’m so glad that what you went through doesn’t have a huge impact on you today.
