For example, my car is parked in a single lane driveway, mom’s car is in the garage, she opens the garage door, zooms backwards and puts a hole in my front bumper with her trailer hitch. Then she comes inside to wake me up and yell at me. Is that just an extension of narcissism or what words are there to describe someone like that?
Sociopath
Psychopath
Narcissist
All three of those personality disorders could characterize that type of behavior.
They do something wrong but it’s never their fault. It’s always someone else’s fault.
Isn’t that the definition of “gaslighting”?
Deflection: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/deflection
The act of attacking or blaming another person rather than accepting criticism or blame for your own actions: Deflection is a psychological defense mechanism.
Ya definitely deflection, is there a word for people who chronically do this?
“Victim blamers” works
Reminds me of when we sent a tech out to someone’s home to set up a workstation. The wife of the guy getting the workstation backed into his car, and drove off.
After seeing the damage to his car, our tech went to tell the husband, and before he could even say anything the husband said, “my wife hit your car, didn’t she?”
It’s happened often enough that this guy didn’t even need to be told. He knew.
I hate how people use this word for everything nowadays, but it could actually be narcissism.
It sounds like your mom’s a bitch
Trump
And of course Trump = sociopath & psychopath & narcissist.
Asshole
Darvo? Not really a word but it’s a thing.
Narcissist. Just ask, what would Trump do? That’s narcissism.
