Well he's doing a damn fine job of playing up his own victimization at the hands of the meanie, weenie liberal elites.
You may not accuse me of racism, sexism, blah blah-ish without asking me for my point of view first. I may or may not choose to give it to you.
I did once see a workhorse evolved into a jackass.
Huh?
The Knowledge is just a jaw-dropping, unfathomable achievement.
I realized a guy I was dating had NPD after I'd fallen for him & this particular trait of theirs was my saving grace - I couldn't pull away cold turkey, but I downgraded my behavior toward him from "I'm crazy about you" to "I'm dating other people so it's cool if you don't want to be serious & oops I'm only texting…
This post feels like therapy for me, and it's heartening to see others talk about similar experiences to mine over the past couple of years. For some reason, I think I attract narcissistic friends - I'm not sure why that is. But over the past few years, the behavior of several (female) friends of mine has gotten so…
I imagine it isn't discussed a lot because people with NPD don't feel they have a disorder, so they don't see a psychologist or psychiatrist. My therapist told me that if she ever sees a narcissist for a session (rarely), they almost never come back again, and if they do, it's no more than like 2 more sessions.
I was…
People with NPD are batshit and horrible to deal with. I'm glad you made a move. My father has a raging case of NPD: the world is against him, pits people against one other, volatile personal relationships, all the greatest hits. Every interaction with him is nothing short of infuriating because he continuously tries…
They have destructive relationships, rarely admit they're wrong, or rationalize away evidence or experiences contradictory to their worldview—even if that evidence is right in front of their faces.
"True narcissists will likely have a history of emotionally injuring people who have attempted to get close to them, either because the narcissist can't establish true intimacy or because they lack the empathy to be able to engage in pro-relationship behaviors."
I am by no means Madonna's biggest fan (or really a fan at all), but I think anyone who has ever had a relationship with an addict (family or otherwise) knows that there's a point when you have to step back and wash your hands of the situation - especially if they aren't ready to get sober. There's only so far you can…
I hate to white knight Madge, but, having been through a similar situation, sometimes you just have to stop trying to fix someone's life. That doesn't mean you stop caring.
I've been saying this for a while now.
I grew up in a time when being a "gamer" was cause for ridicule. Shit, admitting to owning a Nintendo in the mid-80's was a good way to get your ass kicked at my school (not at all schools, I understand).
Now that gaming's finally mainstreamed, and the hobby has -finally- gained…
"...what's the big deal about making less fortunate kids happy on a holiday?"
As much as I don't want to respond to this attention seeking crap, it needs to be known that you go to a "pubic" high school.
Well....I can't hate him for trying to be somewhat independent. Good on him for trying to break the common image of spoiled new money teens being too lazy to pay for their own luxuries.
