When I was a kid, my Nparents would take me to visit their friends. They’d act all nice and wonderful with their “friends” but on the way back home when their friends aren’t around anymore, will relentlessly talk shit about them & judge them - how they were ugly, fat, lazy, stupid, didn’t have their lives together, had major personality flaws, selfish, small minded, etc etc. Even as a kid it made me really uncomfortable.

I never understood why they would bother even be “friends” with people they hate so much and don’t seem to enjoy being around at all. My ndad even tried to give me “tips” about how to navigate friendships and social life ROFLMAO. He is the LAST person I would take any advice from.

I’m NC now, I have way more friends than they ever did - and I don’t talk behind my friends back and genuinely love and respect them - and I think my Nparents will die alone, friendless, with zero family, because they’ve never truly loved anybody in their life. And that’s exactly what they deserve.
