Share some narcissistic family member stories.

One common trait is excessive self - promotion. Like my aunt who always talks about her beauty and how she was a beauty queen in her youth. Another is a lack of empathy. My narcissistic brother never cares about how others feel when he's showing off. Also, they always need to be the center of attention, just like my cousin who makes every family event about him.

One horror story is when a narcissistic mother always made her daughter's achievements about herself. For example, when the daughter got an award at school, instead of being proud of her daughter's hard work, she told everyone how it was because of her great parenting, as if she was the one who did all the studying and hard work. It made the daughter feel like her own efforts were invisible.

I knew a family where the grandfather was very old - fashioned and sexist. He treated the boys in the family much better than the girls. He would give the boys more pocket money, better gifts, and more opportunities. For instance, he sent the boys to expensive summer camps while the girls had to stay at home and help with the housework. This created a huge divide and a lot of unhappiness among the family members, especially the female ones who felt discriminated against.

Well, I know a story about a narcissistic wife. She was obsessed with taking self - portraits all day long. And she expected her husband to also be as enthusiastic about her pictures as she was. If he didn't like or comment on her new selfies quickly enough, she would pout and give him the silent treatment for days.

One narcissistic horror story could be about a person in an office. There was this colleague who was extremely narcissistic. He always took credit for others' work. He'd barge into meetings and start talking about how he single - handedly achieved a project that was actually a team effort. His constant need for praise and self - aggrandizement made the workplace a toxic environment. People started to avoid him, but he didn't notice as he was too busy admiring himself in his delusion of grandeur.

One narcissistic success story could be Steve Jobs. His unwavering belief in his own vision for Apple products was often seen as narcissistic. He was convinced that his ideas about sleek design, user - friendly interfaces were the best, and he pushed for them relentlessly. This led to the creation of revolutionary products like the iPhone, which changed the world. His self - centered focus on his vision ultimately made Apple a huge success.

One narcissistic gay story could be about a guy who is always taking selfies and posting them on social media, thinking he's the most attractive in the gay community. He constantly flaunts his looks and new outfits, often ignoring the feelings of his more modest friends.

Well, my mother has this amazing story. When she was young, she wanted to go to college but her family didn't have much money. So, she worked part - time jobs while studying hard in high school. She managed to get a scholarship and went on to college. It shows her perseverance and how she overcame the odds. It has always inspired me to work hard for my dreams.

One of the worst family member stories I've heard was about a brother who constantly stole from his siblings. He took their money, valuable items like jewelry and electronics, just to fuel his own bad habits. It created a lot of mistrust and resentment within the family.

My sister once entered a baking competition. She had practiced for weeks. On the day of the competition, she accidentally spilled half of her special ingredient. But instead of giving up, she improvised. In the end, she won second place. It was so memorable because it showed her determination and creativity.
