Yes, I just sort of realized that. Yesterday I called her an idiot for swearing over her salad and I thought I had made a mistake. Today she is visibly trying not to swear loud enough for me to hear. So I realized that if a narcissist knows that cursing upsets me she wants to do it even more to feel her power. But when she realized that losiing it over a salad makes her look like an idiot, she tried to control her temper.
Thanks for your advice!
