Tadpoles: My Sister Is A Witch

Product Information

That’s the best thing about little sisters: They spend so much time wishing they were elder sisters that in the end they’re far wiser than the elder ones could ever be.”—Gemma Burgess

Entitlement: Your sister may have an inflated sense of entitlement, believing she deserves special treatment and privileges without considering the needs or feelings of others. I have two sisters that have strong narcisistic tendancies. One is a covert narcisiste and the other a malignant narcisist. This is only my perception from reading articles, as they have never been diagnosed. Both of my sisters were abused by an older neighbor boy when they were young. I don’t know if this causes narcisism. My oldest sister whom I consider a covert narcisist, has always been this way as long as I remember. My younger sister (malignant narcisiste) developed this behavior as an older teenager. My father was very critical and uncommunicative as we all pproached adolescence.Triangulation is effectively playing both ends against the middle. A narcissist in the family will tell one person one thing and another person something entirely different. It creates confusion and chaos, and the narcissist loves it. Look at the ways you tolerate her narcissistic behavior and how this might actually be supporting it. This might mean that your parents were more lenient with your sister, or if they are abusive, they may have treated her differently than you for various dysfunctional reasons. Another factor that comes into play here is what may have happened in your early life as opposed to what happened in hers. Narcissists typically exhibit anxious or avoidant attachment styles, as researchers at the University of Wollongong in Australia point out. Finally, there simply may be individual personality differences that explain why she was more prone to develop narcissism while you did not. How Does a Narcissistic Sister Act?

If you find it difficult to talk to her and never quite know which side of her you’re going to see, this is a sign she could be a narcissist.They will get an additional Isa allowance equivalent to your Isa savings Isa at the time of your death, and is referred to as an 'additional permitted subscription', or APS allowance. My older sister did the same to me. She always told me I was fat and ugly and no one would ever love me. I grew up feeling unworthy and attempted suicide many times. Then she used that against me too saying I tried to hurt my family by killing myself. The Corsini Encyclopedia of Psychology and Behavioral Science, Volume 4, Charles B. Nemeroff, 2002 p 1524

This kind of tactic drives a wedge between you and other family members or friends. It also gives your toxic sister the ability to control the people in your life who may be most important to you. It’s a way to isolate you so that you will always need her. 6. She Triangulates All Familial Relationships You’ve probably also noticed that your narcissistic sister is extremely competitive. She’s jealous of anyone else who is in the spotlight. When you’re getting attention for some reason, she will find a way to steal the limelight away. The next day she told her father that she couldn’t help with a chore because she was so exhausted. She said, “I was wound up last night after being yelled at and couldn’t sleep.” Her father noted that she had started the argument and that she was yelling as well. There’s no winning with a narcissist. 2. She Has No EmpathyOptimise Media Limited (FRN 313408) for the introduction of the First Direct Current Account, LV= Pet Insurance and LV= Asda Breakdown.

She can’t hold it together for very long, however, and that is typical of narcissists. Constant need for admiration: She craves constant praise, admiration, and validation from others, seeking to be the center of attention at all times.

My other sister and I have born the brunt of her smear campaigns and she has accused both of us of being “uneducated drug addicts”, “failures”, and “psychopaths”. She even made hysterical visits in the night to other family members claiming that I threatened to rape and murder her (which did NOT happen BTW). I’ve had some of her flying monkeys – including one or two of those family members – confront me and almost physically assault me for “being such a horrible brother and human being” and “trying to disown her.” One flying monkey made a series of posts in a local social media group claiming I am illegitimate and claiming he had proof…..which was something he never provided. At times, other family members have also been the subject of her smear campaigns if they failed to do her bidding or have run afoul of her in any way.

Grandiosity: She may have an inflated sense of self-importance, believing she is superior to others and deserving of special treatment. The mildest, drowsiest sister has been known to turn tiger if her sibling is in trouble.”—Clara Ortega One’s sister is part of one’s essential self, an eternal presence of ones’ heart, soul and memory.”—Susan Cabil
