    I love how Shaaba isn’t afraid to disagree with the popular opinion, I see a lot of Reddit based channels just spit out the most popular co-signed opinion, but Shaaba’s perspective is really refreshing and authentic

      Shaaba's really the only Reddit channel that I watch, partially because of this and partially because she doesn't near-exclusively pick super. I guess sensationalized? Stories? Like not saying they're fake, but she doesn't exclusively pick the ones that get passed around for being horrifically misogynistic or shitty, she looks at complicated situations and gives her best judgment. It's way more interesting, even when I disagree.

      Thats what always struck me about nightmare MIL stories, the partners (typically husbands) are never held as accountable as i think they should be and i think thats a symptom of misogyny. Dont get me wrong, hold the MIL's accountable for their actions, but also i think more energy should be directed to the lack of action from the adult children

I think she's making all of the "you must think I'm so stupid" for the same reason. She's trying to elicit a response from OP that she can use against OP. Props to OP for staying calm.

Before she died it was to the point that she was a danger to herself and those around her. That is not something you want to deal with long term, trust me.

Now that everything has been checked out I feel a lot calmer and I know that my dog and plant babies are not gonna be orphans anytime soon, because my heart decided to explode or something.

      Phew! So glad it was a scare and not an immediate emergency! I will say though, listen to your body, and if another scare happens don’t be afraid to seek medical help. So many people feel “foolish” and avoid seeking medical help because in the past it wasn’t “serious enough” then it can be too late and a minor problem becomes a serious one. Keep trusting your gut and seek help when you/your body feels you need it! Give your fur babies and plant babies some love!

      @@rebeccajesse4604 Thank you, I'm obviously very relieved as well and honestly shocked how my symptoms basically vanished after getting the results. Bye bye concerning heart palpitations, weird pressure & pains etc. And since my heart is apparently super healthy I can also rest easy whenever I have odd skipped beats and such in the future. (I always thought that they are results of anxiety, but.. well the anxiety didn't think so, haha)
      I also told one paramedic and one doctor that I'm a bit embarrassed about calling emergency services, especially since my panic lessened as soon as the paramedics arrived. But both were very understanding and assured me that it was the right decision and that it's better to be safe than sorry.
      I'm fortunate that I live in a country with decent health care, so I at least don't have to fear going into debt for any medical emergency. Even my ambulance ride will probably only cost me around 10€ (The same as my Uber ride home, haha)
      But due to my anxiety I haven't been to a doctor in years.. but that will change now. I'm gonna go more regularly for general check-ups and whenever I actually have an issue. This whole experience wasn't exactly fun, haha.

    story 1: I just feel like now is a good time we should remember that the word "narcissist" does NOT equate automatically to a true diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It's become one of those psychiatric words that get thrown around carelessly as a casual descriptor like we did with OCD, ADHD, gaslighting, etc. It's important to recognize that some people really do have this to the point that it's a struggle and they need professional help, but also to remember to check ourselves because some people are just selfish by nature and have been enabled far too long. And when handing out judgments online, we never really have the context to know if that line was crossed.

    • @rebeccajesse4604
      @rebeccajesse4604 День назад +1

      100%. it’s also important to keep in mind that true narcissist personality disorder is statistically a trauma response to some pretty horrific circumstances. So while we do not need to put ourselves in harms way trying to fix them, we also do not need to demonize them to others. Compassion and understanding does not mean you need to support them and put yourself in harms way (emotionally). Don’t just be like “they had a rough time I should just take it” but also don’t go telling everyone that they are an absolutely garbage person. You can tell people how you were treated and they can form their own opinions but that can be handled in a respectful, non-demonizing, way.

      I also understand her confused feelings at the idea alone of someone having a screenshot of a photo of your baby as their lockscreen. Like it's easy to understand why someone would have a photo of their grandchild as their lockscreen, but the entire idea of someone other than OP sending her a photo, and then her taking a screenshot from that person who isn't OP... feels off, compared to how exchanges usually go. That being said it's very, very likely that the MIL just doesn't understand technology all that deeply and does not have the type of associations younger people might have to a screenshot.

    The first one, my in laws also dismissed their symptoms when we drove 8+ hours to visit them. They wanted to see us so I guess they didn’t say anything. My FIL was having visible symptoms and very tired, kept coughing everywhere and kept falling asleep. I asked him if he was sick and he said he was fine, just allergies. It wasn’t allergies, it was COVID. They gave us Covid when we visited and I’m also high risk. I had to go to the ER for high heart rate (resting 140) and difficulty breathing when I got home. I couldn’t speak for 2 weeks because I got laryngitis. Now I won’t see them unless they all take Covid tests because of my lack of trust.
    We still see them but we have them all take Covid tests before we see them.

    I don't see why using 1st MIL's narcissistic tactics back would be a bad thing. When you're "training" a dog, you don't talk to it like it's a person and try to rationalize why you want it to behave a certain way, because they don't understand human language and that's not how their mind works. You have to use canine tactics to establish rapport. If MIL doesn't understand empathetic reasoning, talk to her in a way she understands. You have to teach people in the way that they learn.

    I feel like I comment this on every Shaaba video I have ever watched and this is not an attack on Shaaba, it’s an attack on people who don’t understand what a narcissist is. Narcissist is not a synonym to abuser, it is a disorder caused by repeated childhood trauma that persists for many years. People with NPD deserve empathy for the abuse they have faced though this does not mean that they don’t deserve consequences for their actions. They however do not deserve consequences for someone else abusing someone which a lot of people like to do, “I was abused by a narcissist and you’re a narcissist on the internet so you deserve to be berated by me”
    Also not every self absorbed or abusive person is a narcissist and not every narcissist is a self absorbed person or an abuser.
    Edit: You can also have narcissistic tendencies without having NPD which are very different from each other, one is a disorder the other is simply abusive for no reason.

    I do not understand why people snap their fingers and clap their hands loudly in front of little babies faces. One of my coworkers (Anna) had twins in late January (they were early by about 7 weeks) and they spend the first month of their lives in the NICU. Anna brought them for the first time to meet us in the office in July. They were awake but clearly on their way to nap time having fed just before they came over, and fussing a bit. Two of us who are CLOSE to Anna took one each after they had been toured around the office and walked around with them doing, you know, all the soothing things that will put babies to sleep while working a little bit (distracted admittedly). Holding them up against your chest, pat pat pat, gentle bouncing and swaying back and forth (I have 28 cousins younger than me, I have taken care of too many babies, there is just a natural movement to it all).
    Just giving Anna a break and letting her be a whole adult person for a bit and visit other adults.
    It took about 30 minutes to settle them and once they were asleep we brought them back to their buggy.
    Cue lady from a different team who only knows Anna to see her, pretty sure they don't even know each others names, coming over to see the babies. Anna just finished strapping in the sleeping infants getting ready to take them back home. And this woman leans down takes a look at them AND IMMEDIATELY STARTS SNAPPING HER FINGERS IN THEIR LITTLE FACES saying loudly "Look at me! Look at me!".
    All of us who had just gotten them asleep looked shocked. I put my hand out and said quietly "please stop" and she proceeds to loudly start clapping in their ears. Anna looked at me furious and pleading, confused as to what to do (I mean who does that). And I stepped in front of her and said firmly "Stop! They just fell asleep and it is their nap time! Back up". She had the audacity to look confused but I stared at her until she just scurried away. Anna didn't want to cause a scene but was obviously unhappy about what happened. She hasn't brought the babies in to see us since.

    The long example from commenters on the last one... I've used something similar with a narc that was trying to paint me in a bad light with things I never said. The look on their face was priceless, they were stumped. I've also gone no contact since then.
    And in another situation when they were trying to gaslight me by denying things that happened (for the 500th time) I voiced "my concern" over their memory slipping and also said that I had noticed it happening more frequently. In a concerned voice I said that nowadays doctors can scan early for alzheimers. Yes, I did this with others present, but just a few close family members, and I did that so they couldn't lash back at me as easily as they usually do. Their face went red but not a peep.
    A few moments later they agreed that the thing had happned after all. As soon as they tried to gaslight me again later on I started voicing my concern again. I realised I had come very far and finally was un-gaslightable. I trusted my memories and stood up for myself. When I went no contact like six months later they hadn't gaslighted me again, but I ended the relationship because of other manipulations that I also saw clearar and that hadn't stopped.

    The last one: I have a relative that does the thing with stating out loud how people have a bad perception and opinion of her, even though we don't. And I've met others like that but that I havn't been close to or known long term. I think it's a kind of coping from abuse of being overly criticised and experienced a lot of "failures" in ones social life, such as hard time keeping and making friends, being the "punching bag" in most your friend groups, bullied in general etc. Sometimes it feels like people are doing it so they can get the response of disgagreeing, that they have a need for someone to acctually tell them that they arn't dumb or ugly or undeserving of love etc. Sometimes it also feels like they are trying to get ahead of the critique. You can't hurt me if I already predicted your opininon to be even worse. I wouldn't assume this behaviour as malicous intent. If she is out to make OP look bad infront of others, then that could be proved by just talking to others about their observations and experiences with her.

    In case anyone finds this helpful, here is how my husband and I deal with crazy (but well intentioned) mother-in-law things:
    He is responsible for boundary setting with his family and I am responsible for the same with mine. We communicate with each other so if there’s an issue we can nip it in the bud on behalf of our partner. My mother-in-law has no idea that I am at all bothered by her controlling ways and same goes for the dynamic between my mom and husband. (Although to be fair, my mom is kind of the chill one.) We know our biological parents better and know how to deal with them, plus it’s a lot easier to damage in-law relationships than it is mother-son/mother-daughter relationships (at least for us).
    PS: I know father-laws can be crazy too, but I’m sure it can be addressed the same way. I don’t have a dad and my father-in-law is the peacemaker of the family so that’s why they weren’t brought up.

    Last mother in law is giving delusion/psychosis vibes to me, possibly because I have recently watched MDJ’s long form video on Andrea Yates. The description is giving a picture of a person who is reeeeally out of touch with reality, and it sounds like she’s making these comments even when they’re not in front of other people. It sounds less calculating and more out of control/losing track of reality to me as a person who was also enmeshed with their mother. My own mother is much more anxious and hurt about my partner not being ok with her anymore, but she still does her utmost to try to do things to help him like her/be cordial to him, maybe because she’s terrified of losing access to me. She’s the same with my brother’s wife.

    First one, with my mom, I have to fight, scream and make a big drama to get a point across to her. When she asks why I am doing such a big deal I tell her that's the only way she listens and then it usually gets the message across that there is a boundary line there and she needs to respect it.... not saying it's the perfect solution or that it will work with everyone, but it works for us hehehe As for the comment of the reward system, for me, find what works! Is it good, is it bad? Who cares! If it works it works!! Don't use it with everyone but it's fine to change depending on the person you are dealing with. If you can cut ties with a toxic person great, but if you can make a relationship work where it's not hurting you, that's even better in my book!
    Second one, you're just bothered that she is obsessed with Grand child. I get it, I had people obsessing over stuff and irritating me, it feels creepy. But I would let it go. It's her first grand child, understandable and probably it will wear off into a healthy level of love by time. She might still be a little overbearing and a discussion might end up being necessary, but it might settle down on it's own especially since now there is a distance. Good luck!

    Referring to someone as narcissistic or a narcissist doesn’t necessarily refer to someone with NPD. Just like referring to someone as paranoid doesn’t mean they have PPD, or describing someone as avoidant doesn’t mean they have APD, etc. The word far predates the diagnosis, and had continually been used separate from the diagnosis to this day. It’s also not a slur or created to be derogatory to people with NPD. Words can mean multiple things
    That being said, I am trying to be more careful how I use the term so as not to hurt anyone with NPD, but I think part of that comes back to separating the descriptor and the diagnosis which uses the word in the label

    Hey the comments on that last one isnt a good idea to handle it that way actually. A lot of people will think you're putting up a show in fromt of them but behind closed doors...
    So instead with someone like that you truly need to go NC and get some professional help and support to be and stay safe. ♡

    I don't think it's near like that messy and your dicidemy false. It's one thing for mill to see the pictures.It's another thing for her to have control of the pictures and therefore be able to use them to influence other people's behavior/perceptions. Think about it in terms of a musician. Yeah, it's perfectly fine for your friend.Who's also a musician to hear the song.But if they're performing it behind your back that takes away the control of the song.

    I'm not exactly sure what Shaaba means when she says feeling 'some kinda way' and I've noticed she uses it a lot. Is it a catch-all term for negative emotions like upset, bitter, uncomfortable? Why not be more specific? No hate here I just don't really understand this turn of phrase.
