    My mom has NPD. And she had designated me as the reject in the family, way back when I was around 8-9 years old.
    Imagine having your mom saying she regretted that you were born. After she called you all sorts of names. Or even (trying) cast you out of the house (my dad managed to calm her down). All that when you were just 9 years old, only because you didn't answer her call. (I was listening to music; normal stuff)

    Mmm, she's the origin of my AvPD, alright

    My dad on the other hand, was an introvert, so I didn't get any deeper in analysis, but aside that, I think he was pretty normal.

    My mom has pretty severe depression (her entire side of the family, really, suffers from various mental illnesses). My dad is pretty normal, though occasionally verging on depressive episodes... his mom apparently had bipolar disorder (type II, I would have to assume... and I didn't know this until after she died), though I don't know the severity.

    My mom. She has suffered from severe depression and anxiety since for as far back as I can remember. I believe she also has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. There is something very wrong with her. She's the most selfish, narcissistic person I've ever known in my 42 years of being alive. She's capable of being very, very cruel and hurtful to other people. It's almost as if she gets off on it. When I was very young, she used to make me feel guilty for having been born (I was an accident). I was abused by her, in every way that you can imagine that someone can be abused. We don't talk to each other. I haven't really had a real conversation with her (other than hi how are you) since I was about 8 years old.

    Your girlfriend's silence might be her loudest scream.

    If you still have more dreams than regrets, congratulations. You haven't gotten old yet.

    Spend every moment like it's your last. Hug her, kiss her, hold her, like it's the last time that you ever will. Because it might be.

    Yes I believe so. That my mother does indeed have a mental illness, I have read a lot about it. She is an alcoholic and a pathological liar.

    Just as James states here, my mother is much the same......for me, I have spent a good portion of my life trying to understand the problem and heal from it. I do wonder how much of this contributes to my personal emotional problems. Though at the same time some say it's important to move on. And I do find that alcoholics and Narcissistic people have a way of making everything revolve around themselves.

    Yes, my dad has social anxiety and something other. My mom dealt with PTSD due to abuse but doesn't have any mental disorders.

    Sounds like your mom and my mom should do lunch. Could be BFFs.

    My parents are screwed up because their parents were screwed up. I thought everybody was kinda screwed up.

    My mother, although she'd never admit to it. Anxiety - largely social, and I would say depression as well. I could be wrong about that. Definitely the anxiety though.

    Both my parents atleast seem like relatively normal people. No noticable anxiety/depression issues. But I do kno that shyness does tend to run into the family, since my sister is almost exactly the same as me which is very introverted, never hangs out or goes out, has very few friends, though her social anxiety has gotten better over the years.

    My mum is also starting to become a hoarder, and has always had a shopping addiction. She drinks too much as well. No impulse control. I wish she was normal.
