My lesser (or LMR still it sure) collapsed, I suspect, narcoholic…wouldn’t let me speak if we were with ppl. He’d accuse me of “going on and on” and interrupting him. Even our friends would testify it was HIM doing this not me
HG. i have listened to you with a headset. you do it. rawr. =^..^+
Thanks TZ, I certainly do.
I was shocked when I first witnessed my Narc “growl” under his breath so I could hear it when his mother (his NIPS) would talk over him. I was sure she heard it, too. Do all Narcs do this “growl” noise?
Not all.
My narcissistic parents never let me speak. I have struggled to find my voice in certain situations.
Do narcissists get so angry when they are interrupted or shut down because their narcissistic parents believed children should be seen and not heard as well?
Being interrupted usually ignites the fury because it wounds us since it tells us we are not important. The behaviour of the person interrupting us is a reminder of the behaviour we once endured.
unless it’s cutting across:)
Ooh the irony of this one…
My lessers talked over me, very loudly, and used the word “irregardless” often; I couldn’t get a word in edgewise if my life depended on it.
Well the use of such a non-word speaks for itself!

They bandied “irregardless” about as if they were Rhodes Scholars. They were all so bombastic; in retrospect it is quite humorous.
K, mine did too. He would only call me when drunk and then talk over me repeatedly.

Yup, I had some cousins in my family that used to call at two in the morning and ramble after a night of boozing.
I love this series HG! You are putting into words what I have subconsciously recognized and experienced. Very helpful! Thank you!
