So I have suspected my mother of being a covert narcissist for a while when I think back on past conversations and situation where I felt something was off. and here is the thing about my mother, SHE DOES NOT EXPRESS WHO TRUEST EMOTIONS EVERRRR! BUT, she does love to yell when trying to get her point across or prove to you she is right about something! Most recently was having a conversation with my mom and I mentioned how my apt was raising my rent. I feel like she was prying for information when she then asked, how much they are raising it, and how much MORE is it compared to what Im paying. ( WHICH WOULD TELL HER HOW MUCH MY CURRENT RENT IS, BY SUBTRACTING).So I feel as though she was asking simply because she is nosy and wants to know how much I pay in rent. SO she asked me these questions in a round about way to get information out of me because she knows I DO NOT SHARE PERSONAL INFO RELATING TO MONEY with her. She has blatantly tried to manipulate me to give her money numerous times in the past. Im not super bothered by basically telling her how much my rent is, Im more bothered by the fact I feel she was being manipulative and sneaky by asking those questions in a round-about way thinking I wouldn't notice. I could just be a bit dramatic but I also feel Im pretty good at reading between the lines with her! SO basically Im asking does this sound sneaky to you or just a normal conversation.
