This insight empowers you to set firm boundaries and focus on your self-differentiation, ensuring your actions reflect your true self-not their conditional approval.

    1. To gain praise or admiration
    2. Manipulation
    3. Comparative advantage (if it makes them look superior by comparison)
    4. Reciprocal benefit [sounds very transactional, not genuine at all]
    5. After negative feedback
    6. Public appearances (to maintain a positive public image)
    7. When they need support (strategic) [temporary]
    Going Forward:
    Observe limitations, don't fall for niceness
    Don't try to change them, don't change yourself either

      @RatedArggg That would be unbelievable (and it probably is to people who don’t really know your mom) if I hadn’t learned what I’ve learned about narcissism. It’s still inhumane and disgusting and I’m so sorry that you had to endure that. I think my narc mother is the opposite - she doesn’t want me to die because then she doesn’t have a scapegoat and a caretaker anymore. But growing up, I thought she’d be happy if I died because I could tell she didn’t love me and when people who met me told her how sweet, considerate & mature I am she would always say Hmmm in return and not validate their compliments of me. I hope you know your value now 💛 even though your mother will never see it and that’s her loss.

    When they're fake-nice in public, pay attention to whom they're fake-nice to and how many others are around. If it's just you and them, they often won't bother fake-niceness for servers, flight attendants, customer service reps, bellhops, etc. unless they perceive some benefit from fake-niceness. But if other peers are around, they'll deploy the fake-niceness if they wanna impress one or more of them or if they wanna undermine your complaints about their cruelty.

      So true! Until I came across Jerry’s videos, I didn’t fully understand why my mother was so rude and demanding to servers/employees when we were out in public as a family but if she had friends around she put on the nice & sweet act. It confused me for the longest time and made me wonder if she equated me with people in the service industry because of her abuse towards me. Now I understand that’s exactly how she sees me and others - as servants put on earth to do her bidding without question or complaint. I feel sorry for all the people in public who come into contact with her.

    The timing of their niceness is everything. 1) They are always nice when they want something, and, 2) Observe and take note of when this niceness occurs. It's Mother's Day next week? Six weeks left until Christmas? A birthday coming up? Link that niceness with key events and with time you'll be able to predict when they'll be nice to you and that's how you'll learn it's never genuine. It's crazy!

      Mom and dad weren’t much different. Most of my gifts even into adulthood were things they found while dumpster diving. If they actually bought it then it was super cheap garbage and they would tell me how little they spent on it. If my mom made something it was because she wanted to get rid of old art supplies.

      Tvs, computers, ipads, phones, daycare, school, baby sitter are their go to tools for outsourcing their parenting duties. Even non narcisistic but emotionally immature and neglectful parents do it but the whole narcisistic package makes it all worse of course. Its not about the tools themselves but in their overusing it, kids need their parents much more than people like to admit. Too many parents want parenting awards for the bare minimum and find it an inconvenience that children need more.

    It’s a lot like having satan in human form dealing with you straight on in the natural, deceiving you so they can trap you, and then go in for the attack. It’s just like satan. It’s tormenting, and we don’t have to put up with it just because it’s our mothers. It’s just very hard coming to that realization of what they really are, and that you were raised by this.

      @loriwinters414 it is a shock to the system because this information has been withheld from the masses. I know exactly how you feel. Keep going. Not sure if you are a Lord of the Rings fan or not...here is some dialogue that helps me. Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had ever happened. Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us". Yes, we were dealt a shit hand. But that is not for us to decide. What we need to decide is what to do with our life NOW. How to do we want to spend the days we have been given? Other people have been dealt other types of shit hands. Find your purpose by paying attention to what makes your heart sing.

    Great vid. So true.
    I get this a lot lately actually. It can be used to kill the negative drama but you gotta be careful not to gaslight yourself about their true nature. I finally got a better grasp on that so even if you can “make them behave” you still don’t need to be around them so much. (In the case of when you can’t launch full on no contact etc). Things are much better now for me, but I still choose to move out of state as soon as I can. Lol.

If I say no I can’t I get silent treatments and guilt trips and the blame of being a terrible child. My mom isn’t disabled. Perfectly able to drive. She chooses not to. She refuses yo take the bus , refuses the free rides senior citizens get from the city tgat will take her to any dr appointment and grocery shopping.

She did whatever she could to sabotage me and make me fearful. When I was preschool age ,Her favourite trick was when were visiting strange cities,was leaving me in department stores and disappearing out the door and be halfway down the city block before I found where she'd gone. When I'd run and catch up, she'd smile and look very smug. I sometimes wondered if she hoped I'd get abducted.

    It was always "off" in some way unless it was something they already wanted to do then they would make a show of their endless generosity and how much you "owed" them when they were doing the thing anyway regardless of your presence. Every aspect of the activity had to be controlled down to the cellular level because you were obviously an idiot who couldn't be trusted even if you knew more about said activity than they did, in fact if they knew nothing. Success was down to them while failure down to you even if it was their micro managing that ruined an otherwise simple process, but wasn't that the sought after result all along? If they didn't like what was happening they certainly weren't going to let anything so crass as to see you enjoying it happen.
