Narcissistic Siblings

Summary: Some that have narcissistic parents, follow in the same footsteps for a number of reasons. Other siblings may have balance, empathy, and good relationships with connection. Narcissistic siblings may tend to have patterned behaviour following them around, not seeing the cause and effect.

Before you read, have a little insight, it may help centre matters: Masked Emotional Instability

Genetics plays a part, seeking validation beyond what is classed as healthy, usually to do with the parent wanting more than giving. Covert or overt emotional abuse, silent treatment of do what you want. No boundaries, not fixing the internal, which is meant to develop in a good environment, created for growth and mental development, rather than a child putting the emotional needs of the narcissistic parent first.

Or never been told the difference between right and wrong as the parent hasn’t got a clue either. The cycle may continue ‘a narcissist makes a narcissist’. No empathy, no subject, no accountability, some go back to square one with what happened in the last generation with no change or growth, they may even be idealised for having similar traits.

Not everyone grows into an adult who gains an adult body; it starts in the dysfunctional family system of enmeshment. Not all people go the same path, and they might not be looked at with a good lens as the lens they have is shared. And not everyone gains empathy for others, the circuit board is made different, no matter what goes in, something is processed without the full mind software update.
