Identifying whether your mother displays narcissistic traits can be complex and should be approached with sensitivity. This quiz is a starting point for reflection but is not a substitute for professional evaluation.
Consider her need for admiration. Does she frequently seek praise and validation, often prioritizing her needs over others? Evaluate her empathy: Does she have difficulty understanding or showing concern for others’ feelings?
Reflect on interpersonal relationships. Does she often manipulate or control others to get her way? Is she sensitive to criticism, reacting defensively or with anger when challenged?
Assess her sense of entitlement. Does she expect special treatment or believe her opinions are the most important, often disregarding others’ perspectives? Consider if she exhibits attention-seeking behaviors, needing to be the center of attention in most situations.
If many of these patterns resonate over time, it's worth exploring further with a mental health professional who can provide guidance and support in understanding and navigating your relationship.
