Yeah. I never would have considered my parents narcissistic, in the traditional Donald Trumpian sense. Furthest thing from it. But as far as needs went, it was definitely all about them and theirs.
This bit from "A Therapist's Guide to the Personality Disorders" sums it up nicely:
>The relations with the parents were usually a one-way street, where the child did things the parents expected or demanded, but the parents would not respond to the child's specific needs. [...] There were no positive relational choices for this child. While persons with other personality disorders have available a mode of relating that can bring a sense of pleasure... the Schizoid individual has available only the choice of relating from a very uncomfortable position or of not relating at all. This means that he or she has no interpersonal "feel good" mode.
Not a great book, but it has its moments.
