@dr.alinakastner: Why are narcissists notorious for ruining the holidays? Because the holiday season takes any focus and attention away from them, and they can’t stand it. Whether it’s through creating drama, negativity, or control tactics, their goal is to draw attention back to themselves no matter how they do it, even if it means ruining it for everyone else. #narcissist #narcissism #NPD #narcissisticpartner #narcissisticparent #narcissisticfamilymember #narc #narcissiticabuse #narcsduringtheholidays #therapist #therapy #psychologist #psychotherapist #couplestherapist #familytherapist #dralinakastner #alinakastner
I don’t think it’s the attention they want. I think they just want to keep you from being happy.

I think they’re unhappy and if they can steal your happiness away and drag you into the pits, it’s a reward for them.

Mine always ruined Christmas, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day. No gifts from my husband what’s so ever. So, I quit worrying about it and would just gift my kids and grandkids.

I am remembering dad came to my birthday uninvited. Everyone went silent and he ruined the party with swear words. I had to stay humble and not exist in my own party.
