I've come to believe that an individual like that just isn't really a person. They're a human being, but not really a person. I still can't put my finger on it but to me it's like they're incapable of understanding that everything exists independent of them or that they, deep down, can only view reality as though they are the only ones who are sentient, or something like that. It feels like it's something a bit different than them just having narcissistic traits.
Nah, they have been taught their whole lives that if you are in need, you are just lazy, everyone is fundamentally capable of taking care of themselves and there's zero excuse for not being able to just do it yourself. Based on her voice, I'd say at least in her late 60s, that's a long time to hold a world view.
So in all circumstances, they must show their own strength by asserting/repeating that world view. Even as they themselves should have learned better, either they are in denial about their status and needs or they feel a deep shame and see such a ludicrous stance as somehow saving face.
It's sadly quite consistent with being a human person.
