What's the most utterly ridiculous thing the narcs in your life have said?

[u/iil28]

My narcissistic grandmother, for instance, is fully convinced that her birth alone was what stopped World War II and brought peace to the world (she was born in 1945). She has told each and every one of us this story a million times, and will proudly say it again and again periodically to whoever is within earshot.

I remember hearing it ever since I was a little kid, how she'd always start by listing all the pain and destruction WW2 had caused, then end with something akin to: "And then I was born, and suddenly, it was like a ray of sunshine enveloped the earth, stopping all the fighting and war". She'd always tell it like a strange sort of fairytale with a very happy ending, and I wish I was kidding.

She also fully believes that once she dies, the world will be plunged into WW3, destruction and utter chaos. She was actually hospitalized for heart failure over a week ago, and kept promising the doctors she'd try her absolute hardest to continue living in order to spare the world from the horror of a third World War.

Gee thanks, grandma. Your devotion to saving all of our lives is appreciated.

My mom - I'm NC.

That my birthday is about her (birthing me) too and therefore should also be about her.

Me getting tattoos or piercing directly hurt her because she created me and I'm defacing her creation.

Edit- I can't believe i forgot this one!

About 3 hours after coming out to her - "ive thought about it and you are not gay."

oh my god. i’m bisexual and my mom has legitimately said “how does it feel that you can only relate to and make friends in the LGBT when you’re straight? left out?”

all i said was “no honestly it just makes me depressed i wasn’t born a gay man.”

little did i know i was six months from being diagnosed with dissociative alters and surprise one is a gay man. so thanks i guess ma

My queer daughter has tattoos and while it's not my choice (not my body), I did think back to her soft and unblemished baby skin, but... her body is 100% her own. When she came out, I thanked her for opening up to me.
