[Rant/Vent] Nmom discovers a new buzzword, decides everyone in her life is a narcissist

That is so my sister. She reads psychology articles religiously and diagnoses people with whatever ailment Ms. Internet Psychiatrist thinks they have, sometimes right after meeting them. She's got a dictionary of buzzwords. "Bad vibes" "Bad energy" "Narcissist" "Projecting" Etc. She's physically violent too, alienates most friends she makes, and pushes blame on other people.

Before I knew anything about narcissism I'd try to talk to her about how she was acting. I'd be up front with her and that's when she got violent with me. She's hit me several times. Mind you she's 35. She would also like to argue and say that I'm just projecting.

More recently, she got a new job in a new city and had to move in with my parents. They agreed it'd be temporary. She's been there for 8 months. She brought her happy dog with her and my parents are left to take care of him even tho they work too. She doesn't walk him, so he shits all over the place. Last week she brought A NEW puppy home, another dog that she doesn't take care of. It's frustrating.

But sometimes you DO just have to laugh. Those are her choices, not mine.

Thanks for sharing. Solidarity, friend
