most narcissistic comments ever

[Kaz]

Here's a couple.

When I decided that our marriage was finally over and made my ex move out of the family home, he told me that he "would still have me back".

Before we got married, he told me, "Your purpose in life is to help me achieve my goals". (I didn't take him seriously...)

Here's a couple beauties:  

When giving me some insight as to the type of women he is attracted to:

"I've always been attracted to positive feedback about myself."

When justifying the affairs he had with first wife and subsequent GF:

"I didn't consider it cheating because IN MY HEAD it was over.  I knew there was nothing left of the relationship."
 [note: the *other* person in the relationship didn't know it was "over" , he hadn't informed her yet]

Hugs,
Terry

YOU DON'T DESERVE ME!!!!!

When I told my ex I was leaving him, the first thing out of his mouth was "whose gonna pack my lunch and go fishing with me."   I also heard the, "I'll take you back", line.  I left him and he'll take ME back, good one.  Not an option in my book.  Then added that I would be punished for leaving him, once I returned.  What planet is he from?

Without ever acknowledging any harm done, or any wrong, without ever appologizing, even remotely, to anyone that I know, or anyone who looks like anyone I know,

the person says to my daughter:

"Well....is your mother ready to forgive me yet?"

As if......it's all up to me.  Everything would be just rosy and dandy and wonderful and lovely.....if...... I would just forgive.

I suppose....I should think of this as a positive thing....the person is offhandedly kinda admitting that there is something to forgive.

Never mind.  It's being said to a child, who has nothing to do with it all, who has no way to know the answer to the question, who is being used to communicate these fraudulent messages, and probably....most probably......to make that child...think.....the person has already appologized and now it's alllllllllll uppppppp to meeeeeeeeeeee.....thus....to further put blame on me and make it seeeeeeeeem as if IIIIIIII am the one who needs to fix it all, and who has allllllllllllllll of the power.

Gee.....wiz....I really had to think that one thru.  I felt so confused....and stupid.  Why did that comment seeeem so very Nish??  

Thanks for this thread.

How about this one:  phone call, very late, woke me up: "oh, did I wake you?"
"yes".  
"oh,.well............(proceeds to go on and on and on, not an emergency of any kind, just spewing 5 stright minutes of negativity...........and then:" well, I can see you're just falling asleep on me so I'll let you go (HUFF)".
To which I simply said goodbye.
Uggggh.  My friend.  Why a friend? Today I don't know.

"After all I've/We've done for you? Keeping a roof over your head, food on the table, etc"

UM- its what you ARE supposed to do as a parent, without telling your children about all the sacrifices you have made for them

Between a Histrionic/Narcissitic dad and a Narcissistic former spouse of nearly 20 years, there are SO many great ironic statements to choose from, but I'd have to say that my favorite was from a former colleague, who in addition to never having made a mistake in his life, said to a group of us as we were reminiscing about the most interesting people we had ever met when it came to his turn, "That's easy! I'm the most intersting person I've ever met!"

You've got to admire that kind of chutzpah!

GFN,

No he's not. This is solely a critique of your 'unforgiving nature'. If you said "I forgive you" he'd say "what for?" He'd consider it a victory that he tricked you into forgiving him and then saying there was nothing to forgive. You're Charlie Brown, He's Lucy and his "admission" is the football.

Well, I can respect the audacity of it, but I'm not sure 'admire' is the first word that pops into my head.

You're sooo accurate here, Mudpuppy, I know it!  And then there would be a great sarcastic laughter followed by the pointing out of how gullible I am.

And generally.....usually I am a very forgiving person.
So this is indeed another nasty way of defacing me, to my daughter and it's another thing the person has always been jealous of...making snide remarks about and taking advantage of.

And not only that......but now that you mention it......yes!!  I remember this happening exactly as you say, in the past.  Deja Vu...which is why it felt so confusing and I felt so dumb, when I heard this junk.

It makes my head spin!!!  

No word can be taken as real and nothing said by this person is ever sincere.   Everything is always so twisted and there are so many, many lies.   It boggles my mind......how geniously smooth those statements are made and with such precision.

Well, my Nmother has said lots of outrageous things, most of them aren't funny in a ha ha kind of way but more in a jaw-dropping way (which is mostly the kind of things I've read in this thread).  Maybe this is kinda funny though:  She has a sign on her home-office door that is a quote from "the Wizard of Oz":

"No one gets in to see the Wizard.
Not no one, not no how."

i.e., She is super special!!  A brilliant Wizard!!  Don't bother her while she is doing her Wizard-y stuff!!  (Furthermore, she is well-read and "hip" enough to know about this quote and put it up.)

I just now realized the total irony, which is that the Wizard of Oz was actually a puny, kinda pathetic little guy who was totally afraid of being found out for what he really was!!


Here's another one that I have to put in even though it's not so funny ha ha:  When I am considering doing something that she does not approve of, she says, "Well, it's YOUR life." in a tone of voice that connotes "go ahead and ruin your life by being foolish enough to dare doing something that I don't agree with- see if I care."  The irony of this is that for an N, it's actually NOT "your life," it's "their life"!!  Everything is "their life"!!  So, what she's REALLY saying is:  "If you're not going to do what I think you should do, then you are not an accurate reflection of ME, and therefore I don't give a rat's a** WHAT you do because I don't really care about YOUR life.  If you want me to care, you're going to have to see that it's all about ME and do what I think you should.  If you don't provide me with N supply by agreeing with my every thought, then I disown you."

I guess the thing that's funny about it is she's saying "It's YOUR life." and what she means is "Whatever, it's not MY life."

From my ex to my daughter (see ex dilemma thread for details of typical ex behaviour)

'I still love your mother.'

[Guest3]

Myself and the past two women in his relationships (ex-wife being one): "You are losing it, you're need some help". Told both of us this and guess who was the ragedly defensive man anytime we brough up a minor issue that only required a verbal discussion? She even went on anti-psychotics for a few weeks after they split to appease the legal trauma they were about to go through - and he did tell her she was crazy...

My exNH asked our grown son recently whether he should send me a 'love letter'. ??????
(Sensible son told him he didn't think it was a good idea...!)

I love this thread.
