#narcissistic brother

[oasisr]

My family doesn't know that I love cooking and cleaning.

I avoid being in the common areas so much due to how rude they are that they think I prefer buying pre-packaged sandwiches.

They don't know that I'd love to clean everything and then make a fall soup and homemade bread and bake some sweet dishes.

They actually think that I'd prefer to eat food wrapped in plastic in my room for no reason.

No accountability, no respect for boundaries and no manners ever. My own family members have told me to my face that they "don't give a f---" and will say and "do whatever" they want to do, even if it makes me very uncomfortable.

Todays topic is Narcissism.

I dont what everyone is going though but this could be for you

Tip of advice if someone calls you a narcissist ignore them. They are trying to provoke you. I know personally speaking I need to do that more comparing someone in my family is extremely narcissistic.

ID: A watercolor painting outlined with ballpoint pen of a human heart. The heart has been colored brown, and the arteries have been drawn as the caps of Armillaria Ostoyae, a brown mushroom with speckled caps. the veins running over the chambers of the heart are dark brown. The painting has been titled, “Armillaria Ostoyae”.

Art that I made for @narcissistcookbook , who I saw in the flesh tonight :) they and their audience were very cool, soaring over the (low) bar set by the only other concert I have ever been to.

Y'know, ever since I stumbled across Epic: The Musical by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, I've been somewhat surprised by the fact that there's been a boon in fanfiction relating to Greek Mythology—even if only primarily focused on the events of the Odyssey. Considering that I'm long since over my Greek mythology fixation faze from middle school about half my life ago (I've never read the Percy Jackson series, I just liked how wild the mythos was), I'm mostly indifferent to the topic, but I do have ONE gripe with all the stories I've been coming across lately.

There's this popular interpretation that Athena is Zeus's favorite child, but when you actually get down to assessing all available (AKA surviving) historical accounts/myths regarding the paternal fidelity of Zeus, it's pretty obvious that his favorite kid is Apollo. That being said, I'm pretty sold on the notion that Athena is at least the favorite daughter, with Artemis perhaps being a not-so-close second.

Honestly, percentage wise, I'd say Zeus's love for his kids goes 55% Apollo, 30% Athena, 5% to Artemis, and 10% split in varying degrees between EVERYONE else.

Ares has like -2 points if we only look at his portrayal in the Illiad lol. The Athenian account of him in Myths is NOT kind to him, despite the fact that he's undoubtedly the most decent male Olympian (never raped women, a good father, surprisingly merciful to mortals who genuinely slight him if they manage to impress or best him, and he was the protector of the Amazon women). As funny as it is, while Ares might be Zeus's least-favorite kid, I'd imagine that despite the differences between the two, he'd be Athena's favorite brother.

I think that we should bring back Sirius angst in Jegulus fics because as an older sibling who played a large role in raising my younger siblings, if my best friend started dating one of them I would be fucking livid

Narcissists are like cockroaches. If you have one in your family, you probably have an infestation.

My parents, siblings, and nieces are all narcissistic. And, being around them is so draining. My mom literally just yelled at me and told me off because I told her that my brother shouldn't beat and cheat on women or let his daughter steal from the store.

She even accused me of being jealous of him! Why would I be jealous of someone addicted to alcohol and cocaine? Who hits women and drives drunk with his kids in the car? Wtf?

Ngl gumball is the type to not fuck around when someone says anything about his gf he's very obsessed with

the tags aren't letting me tell you how gumball literally brought an entire PERSON, probably a dead one of unconscious as a SACRIFICE to a fake cult made by his own teachers and classmates (they didn't take it well)

"It’s interesting that Juan’s attempt at relieving pain is through closeness and hugging and love. When he forgives Cesare at the end saying how they’re brothers and wants to be together, I think that’s genuine. That’s the first time you realize what he’s always wanted." (x)

I don't know if anyone has realized this yet but isn't afo kinda way too freaky about yoichi lol? like c'mon whats going on

Yeah I’ve seen people talk about their relationship like that before and how it’s kind of sketchy. Tbh though, I never really saw it like that.

I don’t think the people that see their relationship in that way understand that possessive abusers can come in any form. Any sort of relationship has the potential to become dangerously possessive whether it be a romantic one, parental one, or a brotherly one. I think since Yoichi is the only person All for One has ever had remotely care about him in a normal-ish way, he wanted to keep the only genuine connection he had for as long as he could, and if he couldn’t, then Yoichi lost his use to him.

I don’t think he cared about Yoichi himself at all as his brother, I think he cared more about what Yoichi was able to give him. It’s a “if I can’t have him, then no one can” kind of situation, but like I said above, that situation doesn’t always have to translate to romantic obsession, and I actually think it’s kind of harmful to see an obsession like AFOs as one that can only be explained away by potential romantic feelings.

I speak from experience, familial obsession can turn just as intense and dangerous as romantic obsession. They’re very real and I honestly find it disgusting that people try to turn it into a “AFO is gay for his brother” thing. Let me ask, would you think the same if Yoichi was AFOs son instead of brother?

Now, I don’t know if you meant your ask in that way, Anon, but I figured I’d talk about this anyway because I see a post about it every once in a while, and this just kind of made me want to add my two cents on it.

I need that blond man to die. I need someone to grab that violin and smash it over the back of his head.

started watching heartstopper and i've been super careful because of the whole eating disorder. turns out that isn’t even the issue anymore. what absolutely blindsided me was the scene where their mum sends tori to get charlie before dinner. tori being so worried, tori noticing that there’s something wrong when their parents joke about the lack of seasoning. siblings being there for siblings because their parents suck at actual parenting or even worsen a situation at times...... seems like years of therapy can help you manage disorders but what's even harder to overcome is the feeling of absolute despair, being completely alone in the world with no one to turn to or even to trust

[pomribs]

i know im down bad because all those times will cried and acted sad as a manipulation tactic i really thought he was being genuine until i was explicitely told otherwise. and i felt BAD for him too like i was in my feels so hard, mans had me fooled he coulda killed me so easily

[maslows-pyramid-scheme]

lowkey i feel like a lot of men are gonna start self diagnosing adhd soon if it hasnt started already

They only care about diagnoses when those diagnoses help them evade the consequences of their actions.

I really believe that my entire family has NPD at this point. And, everyone needs therapy.

My brother borrowed my mom's car last night. This morning, our enabler mom and I went in the car to go get coffee.

I immediately noticed that the car stunk. It had a horrible smell.

I found red solo cups in the passenger seat, and mom found fast food bags in the back seat.

My brother had taken his daughters and his girlfriend to get hamburgers, but they left the half eaten food in the car all night. It started to rot and smell odorous.

I told my mom that it was not okay that he let the girls trash the car, and that they should never be drinking and driving.

Mom said it's not a big deal and we should just go get coffee.

I said, "Aren't you going to call him and tell him that it's wrong? Why don't you have him clean the car?"

She said that I'm weird for being upset and that it's none of my business because it's not my car.

Last time my brother borrowed the car, there was a bottle of vodka in the passenger seat.

He has had two DUIs, and has had his license revoked.

I don't even understand why she would want him to drive the car in the first place.

She kept telling me over and over to mind my own business, and that drinking and driving isn't a big deal because she threw the trash away.

I told her that she could have lost her car if he were to get pulled over, plus his teenaged daughters were in the car too! (He also lets his daughters drink and smoke weed. That's a whole other story.)

I admit that my anger took over and I lost it. I started yelling at my mom to listen to me, and to stop saying that it's okay for him to drink and drive, and leave garbage in the car.

She kept saying it's not a big deal. I started screaming at her. I just couldn't keep calm. I felt like she had no common sense or common decency to stand up for him.

I can't understand why no one in the family has to face any consequences. But, if I say I don't agree with something because it's morally or legally wrong, then I'm the bad person.

I've been crying and hyperventilating all day long because she just seems so lost. My entire family is lost. I don't even know what to do anymore.
