I don't know what the psychological name would be but I have had this happen with one of my ex friends. I have a few medical issues & every time I would say something about it, she had the very same thing. It was hard to be her friend, she is a narcissist too & I think it is a kind of one upping me. Frustrating. I am no longer friends with this woman.

You are sort of talking about folie au deaux.
Source(s): It's French meaning folly of two or shared delusion
