A diagnosed narcissist has shared the signs you grew up with a narcissistic parent. HG Tudor, who talks about their narcissm diagnosis on their YouTube page, noted that narcissists 'pop up in lots of different places' such as social situations or at work.

'There are two arenas whereby the presence of a narcissist causes most damage - that's in a romantic entanglement and a familial one'. 'Those who have a parent or parents that are narcissists had no choice in the matter. 'They were brought into a home where a narcissist existed, and they've been subjected to that throughout their childhood and into adulthood.'.
According to HG Tudor, it's not until people are adults that they realise - or suspect - that their parent may be a narcissist. He pointed out it's 'uncommon' for a child to come to that conclusion. He noted that having a romantic relationship with a narcissist can make people realise their parent was also one.
Another way people come to this conclusion is by analysing their own behaviours, which he noted 'have arisen from the abuse that you've endured, that you see the way that you react in certain circumstances', and in perhaps seeking therapy you discover you've been exposed to a parental narcissist.
According to the American Psychological Association: 'Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is the group of cluster B disorders that also includes antisocial, histrionic, and borderline. NPD involves three elements: an inflated view of the self, a lack of warmth or empathy in relationships, and the use of a variety of strategies for maintaining the inflated self-views.'.
