I think Grandma is a demon.

I am not kidding.
She seems to feel off of peoples pain pretending to be a caring individual but uses things to twist into to make it more painful i seriously think she feeds off it but is never full. Demonesque? Or just an emotional problem. Like fear eater only its pain. is this possible or does it exist?
This bears no refection on other demons I know or how they all are this is just one particular person in my life. Could be shes just a not very nice human... But she is married to a preacher and I thought this amusing, plausible, and ironic.

Sometimes reveling in other people's pain and suffering is wholly human. Twsiting it, taking it, and consuming it is a quick way to becomming a martyr.

Oh, I know. and I also know that not everything has a supernatural explanation. I just thought it makes for interesting discussion. At least I find it amusing, (amusing when it isn't painful.)

Oh she is a vampiric something or another thats for sure. It's beyond psychological, I can feel her trying to feed(which she does best against family, which could open up another discussion). She is unsuccessful against myself however, um go me I suppose.

I wouldn't say that such behavior is demonesque, or even unusual for grandparents. Aside from the potential feeding off of pain - which was pointed out as something that's not a demonic "trait" what other plausible concepts do you have?

I'm totally gonna pull something fluffy out of my arse here.

Reasons I can think of:

Number 1: she's old. Every single freaking old person I know is like that, without even trying. They'll be all peaches and cream one moment, "Oh dear, how are you doing today?" And then, suddenly, they mention the most inappropriate, painful thing you can imagine. My grandma, for instance, brings up the death of my grandfather on a daily basis. I know she's grieving, I know it hurts, but she'll just bring it up like no one else can possibly be affected by it, and then she'll go into painfully unpleasant details about how he died... minute little things like his expression, and how she was there... over, and over, and over again. It takes an unusually large amount of self-control to keep myself from breaking down in tears or yelling at her. I've told her to stop, and she just kinda smiled really creepy like and dropped it. The next day? Same thing.

It's not just *my* grandma, and it's not just death: old people bring up stuff about their constipation to random strangers. Mind you, not all old people do this; but a lot of old people seem to get a kick out of making younger people feel just as tired, pained, and uncomfortable as they feel.

Plus, I've had a theory for forever(forever being like, 3 years. XD) going on now that old people develop some sort of vampirism. They latch onto younger people like leeches and feed. The way I see it, you get to a point where your body begins to deteriorate. This includes your aura/energy. Not necessarily your "soul" but rather everything around it. So old people do this sort of psychic vampirism without realizing it to keep their energy up.

Maybe "vampirism" isn't necessarily a good term for it, but it's the only thing I can think of.


Number 2: She's a wicked/mean as hell woman and she's always been this way.

Number 3: She's wicked and mean because something's come up and she wants to spite everyone else by making them feel like she does.

Number 4: She is a demon, and she feeds off sorrow. Not my personal cup of tea, but some beings find the stuff tasty. However, if this is a recent thing, and she's never been like this before, then it's highly unlikely. Well, not HIGHLY unlikely, but unlikely.


Have you ever just tried asking her, "Granny, how come you're such a mean, crotchety old hag?"

One day i will just have to ask her Simm but as long as I've known shes been this way. My father does confirm on a regular basis shes always been this way. It feel like its in a feeding sort of way but I'm too close to the situation to be objective.

this sounds like a very good explanation.

Sounds a bit like my granny. Oh, how nice she was on the surface... everybody about town just loved her to bits. She wasn't all that bad toward me... the only foul thing she had to say about me was that I was fat, and I wasn't hurt by that because it was true <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s --> To my mom and her other children, though... Christ, she was sick, mean, twisted, manipulative, possessive, demanding etc, and I got to see just how much it wore on my mom and aunt. I guess she got hers in the end, though... her last words were "They're coming... they're coming after me, and they have pointy sticks!."

Dun dun dunnnn...

Demon-esque... nah, I doubt it. It's just... an old people thing, I figure. You either get sweet and loopy, or mean as a snake. Or in the case of my Mamaw, sweet and gassy.

So we've discovered that shes no a demon, maybe some sort of vampire but mostly just old. Maybe next time I'll let you have a crack at the rest of my family...
