My mother! I have now learned about NPD, and even what you're describing further defines the narcissism. She IS the voice in my head.

Her putting down the things I like didn't make me stop liking them. I'd probably say back to her "I must be an idiot then" I know I am far from an idiot. My husband, who is a genius, loves high schoolish kinds of movies (but we know he's not operating at 100%).

Anyway, I recall in the past you said your brother was so charming around women and you were envious of him. So now you see another side of him that is not so charming. He is being an A hole. An opinion is not a fact no matter how you act like a bully about it.
