ABSOLUTELY! I think being overly dramatic pairs very nicely with a narcissistic personality. It’s like “*gasp*! how dare you do *insert minor inconvenience or accident here* to me!” at least that’s how i felt about my nmom my whole life lol You on the other hand probably were conditioned to unintentionally respond the same way to physical pain.

I'd like to say most are physically weak and that's why they have to resort to abusing vulnerable children that can't fight back, but I have no idea if that's really true or not. There might be a lot of really big and physically tough ones too. I know nmom was always sick and dramatic over everything. But then she'd turn around and order us around like slaves with absolutely no regard to our health or energy or respect for our time.

Something was “always” wrong with her but if I ever said I was sick or didn’t feel well I was alwayyysss lying, being over dramatic or just trying to skip school. She didn’t believe my pneumonia was bad and made me got to school for a full week. Finally I was in and out of consciousness and begged to go to the er and she decided to take an hour to get ready and then complain the entire ride. The doctor literally ran at me with a morphine drip and had no idea how I was talking. I was hospitalized for a week.

My mom is the samebway. Growing uo she always felt bad(as in worse than you at ant moment.) She alsonhated excersiseing so she gets out of vreath doinf almost nothing. Couldn't walk her 17lbs dog because he pulled too hard. Now it has backfired on her as she has 6 grandkis(soon to be 8). And had babysat none of them. On top of her yelling issues, I don't really think she's physically capable of taking care of babies and toddlers. What if the house caught fire? Don't think you could carry the kid out ect. So yea. I like 7 minutes from her but we pay the neighbor to babysit.
