For example, my car is parked in a single lane driveway, mom’s car is in the garage, she opens the garage door, zooms backwards and puts a hole in my front bumper with her trailer hitch. Then she comes inside to wake me up and yell at me. Is that just an extension of narcissism or what words are there to describe someone like that?


It’s also one of my personal triggers because my mom always did this. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume it was unconscious guilty avoidance as opposed to intentionally lying, but still, I could describe the situation accurately back to her and point out what she did that was wrong (we’re not talking about a mistake or accident here, I only brought it up if it was an intentional action that hurt other members of my family) she would always have, “but they did this”, or “I thought I was helping, excuse me for caring!”
As I understand it, that is pretty much the definition of narcissism. Narcissism is defined by an underlying inferiority complex, which gives the narcissist a mental block preventing them from consciously realizing (and acting on) their own imperfections.
