This can cause them to turn on you in an instant, if they feel you are not giving them the attention and admiration they believe they deserve. They can become dismissive and condescending toward you, shifting blame onto you, projecting their own worst qualities onto you. One minute they may call to invite you out to brunch, and the very next minute, they’re bashing you, trashing you, calling you the very worst names.
