Sounds like my mother - she didn't even attempt to contract me after a Category 5 hurricane hit the city I lived in, but she made a big spectacle of listing me missing and pretending to be oh-so-concerned.

No wonder I have a lingering distrust of people showing concern for me. 😒

[CALIGRL]

OMG Patrick 😂 you are too funny!! Thanks for the laugh therapy 🙏❤️

[DisturbsOthers]

I was a source of deep embarrassment to my mother. "What will people think?" was her first reaction to my non-conforming behaviors.

[cleols]

Your sense of humor is just as I like it to be, Patrick! 😂😂😂🙏♥️

[Mokoena-]

It hurts to the core you don't know whether you need to be angry or what??😢

[goodgrief]

Whenever I needed new clothes or asked to have my extremely outdated glasses replaced, suddenly my Mom needed to tell me how superior she was because she didn’t care what anyone thought of how she looked (because a 50 year old woman has the same concerns as a 15 year old girl.) But it was all so very obviously untrue as she cared deeply what everyone thought of her appearance as the supposedly perfect Mom. PTA mothers club President, perfect house, lawn manicured. But inside we were completely left to become Lord of the Flies.

[SMKovalinsky]

Absolutely fits my mother. The only bit of concern she ever displayed is if she had an audience: Family or friends or co workers she wanted to make an impression on. Outside of this, her apathy and coldness over placing me in horrifically dangerous situations was staggering.

😑 yells at me for a month because I have undiagnosed pertussis and am loudly and UNCONTROLLABLY coughing. FINALLY takes me to the Dr when my airways are spasming shut for moments at a time, and both my lungs are completely infected, and then cries at the Dr's office as if it's only just dawning on her that I was severely ill..

[caroleminke]

All the time & my mom never got that I was watching her performance

[elkekirkpatrick]

As i teen I remember we'd go to church 3 times a week. My mother had carefully crafted her persona to be the most caring, indispensable person couldn't live without. Then we'd get in the car, and as soon as both doors were shut she'd rip into me about how fake I was, how if people knew how I really was, they would lose all cause to like me. She is 93 and still runs that litany.

[FrisbeeGirl]

If by hyper-concerned, you mean suddenly incredibly loving and attentive? Always in public; never when alone. And she can be so MF'n charismatic, charming, and believable. It's GD maddening and sanity screwing, hence no contact.

Sorry, mom, I cannot hear you anymore!

[jessicanoble]

Yep. It was always, “What would *so and so* think?”

[rachelstanger]

My parents didn't do this really, but my covert narcissist grandma did. I rang her last year, lonely after going no contact with my parents, no friends, generally sad and depressed, to ask for some advice. She told me she was too busy to talk. Then she rang my hostel and got them to do a welfare check on me, which was extremely humiliating and not needed. Thus when I went no contact with her this year, I specifically emailed my hostel to tell them if she rings pretending to be concerned - no, she isn't. Catalyst to that was her ringing my parents about me to tell them where I was and everything she knew about me, because 'they must be so worried about you and so am I.' Who needs enemies? 😂

[luna_soleil]

My roommate. Anything she does to help us out in the house is *so* performative. If we didn't *see* that she turned the house upside-down and spent the *entire day* to wipe down the counter, then how will we ever know??

She just wants people to think she's a good, helpful, caring person while continuing on with her trashy life taking no accountability for anything that matters.

[mindkindmom]

My father was a real method actor in front of an audience. Gosh, swallowing the bile that rose to keep up with his narrative was a gargantuan effort.

[kylapollard]

Oh my god! Yes! The whole “oh sweetie, you can come and talk to us about anything. You know that right?” 🤮 to this day if anyone shows any kind of concern for me I get physically ill, shut down and constantly say “I’m fine.” I don’t want a fuss made over me or see those concerned looks etc. it’s so gross to me

[christinag.]

I actually think this was a form of entertainment for my mom since she could get a lot of attention from authority figures when she decided to concern herself with my “behavior” as a teen which was pretty normal stuff. She seemed to enjoy talking to anyone about my “behavior” but me.

[everlastingcurves]

LOL!! I was in the hospital a couple of years ago. I guess my mother felt like my husband was stealing her "concerned mother" thunder, so she flashed him a dirty look and left. He's still hurt. Hell, I'm used to it. I'm just happy he finally witnessed and acknowledges "the crazy". LOL!!

[tg_]

My father was so ignorantly toxic, he didn’t have the sense to feign concern. Luckily, my mother was loving and did her best with what she knew ❤ (that isn’t denial talking…she was deeply flawed, but truly tried her best)

[fighttheevilrobots]

My mother owned and directed nursery schools.
