Always amazing how these health issues never get in the way of something the narcissist wants to enjoy.

[Andromeda_M]

Narcissist are VERY MEAN to you when you're sick. The abuse ticks up a notch.

[sheilashaver]

Yes, I can’t even have my own headache without my mom hijacking it and saying she has one too and it is worse.

[radish-xdzz]

Lol! My Narc mom had been given a prognosis of two years to live....for 20 years. I went no contact at the thought of another 20

My grandfather was a narcissistic hypochondriac. When I was about six or seven I would watch my grandmother dole out my grandfathers medications daily, he took several pills daily, a red pill, a yellow pill and a blue pill. Concerned that my grandfather was sick I asked my grandmother about all the pills that he had to take and would he be OK. She replied, these are sugar pills that the doctor gave him, your grandfather is not sick ... It's all in his head.

[RockRiverOffroad]

When someone starts talking about something that's wrong with them, you can count on the Narc to jump in with their own issues and dominate the conversation.

My mother is gravely ill since the day she was born...and yet she is 84 years old and a really tough cookie...

[jennyp]

My mother was always sick, always, always. I have a syndrome that affects my bones and most of my bones in my spine is basically fused. But I had nothing to worry about as she had far worse health than me. 50 plus years on, she's 86 and so robust I can't believe how well she's doing.
All through my teenage years she'd look up medical stuff and she always found something she had.

[laurenceboischot]

Other side of the same coin, maybe : the narcissistic mother who doesn't believe her child when the child brings some health issue to her attention, but immediately assumes the child is making it up to try and garner attention.

[lamar]

OMG I lived with someone with "hypoglycemia". Every time she threw one of her epic tantrums it was because her blood sugar was low. Her life was one huge Twinkie defense.

[helenarubach]

My mother tells everyone that she is a cancer-suvivor. But she only had a harmless cyst. .

[Daan]

Yeah my mom is a hypochondriac narc. She complained about every itch or little pain she had, all of her life and immediatly assumed she had cancer each time. Even as a kid I felt like something was off. When I really got cancer stage 3 as an adult and needed immediate and intense chemo therapy, she was complaining about her sore thumb and couldn't let it go. When I had visitors around my hospital bed she tried to impress them with her sore thumb. I was absolutely gobsmacked. I indeed, expected her to turn around if I for once got seriously ill. But her behaviour became absolutely outrageous. That is the moment it hit me she is absolutely deranged. The moment I was off chemo we went on a holiday so 'I could recover'. She did everything to raise stress levels above and beyond. She created the maximum amount of stress over the littlest things. I wanted to go home all the time and get away from her. After the holiday I went no contact with her and started studying narcissism. I am happy to now be able to put my finger on all the stress she created when I was younger and beyond. I hope to never ever see her again

They make life so hard for people with genuine chronic illnesses trying to get help and support at work or from the health system.

[TimBadger-wd]

She’s spent all our money on imaginary illnesses. Treatments. Therapies. Multiple supplements. She makes us drive to urgent care and sit outside for hours ‘just in case’. It never ends. There’s a long list of ‘doctors’ who now refuse to see her. It’s a nightmare.

[dawnfz]

My roommate is a great example. I was struggling with COVID-19 and breathing difficulties, resting in the kitchen and he took a phone call. He told the caller, ‘D’s okay but I have flu! I’ve been sneezing all morning!’ You’ve got to laugh, just don’t ever rely on one to call you an ambulance because they’ll jump into it and leave you dying on the floor!😂🤪

[coolj]

Mom and brother. Always so sick, but never die.

[NarcSurvivor]

Narcissists are very fearful and insecure, so they develop this obsessive need to control everything. They start to see things as being wrong, even when there’s nothing wrong. It’s all in their minds.

[CollinRoby]

I feel like you just summed my entire family dynamic (I’m an adult son, Mother covert narcissist) in 16 minutes…

Thank you!

[fluffymuffi]
