I just wrote it down, thank you so much!

Thank you! I'm going to look at them on amazon later. The Family Tree Counseling channel on YouTube has tons of good talks on narcissism :-)

I worked OT this morning, which can use since I’m moving in two months. I’ve never had my own place before and I keep vacillating between excitement and rejecting the reality. I also don’t want to deal with the actual putting of my shit into boxes and taking it out again. Why isn’t there a better way?! Why do I have…

Hey Jezzies!

Former/current temps of the world! Please regale me with your worst temp assignments, so I can feel a little better about mine. No one talks to me (in the 20 person open-plan office)! I wasn’t introduced or shown where things were (like the bathroom), and when a new person started, my manager literally skipped me and…

Hi everybody! I’m drinking a vodka soda and reading “In Sheep’s Clothing”, which is about understanding and dealing with manipulative people. I haven’t got to the part where the author gives you specific responses for things manipulative persons say to you, which I think will help me deal better with my narcissistic…

I missed that post so I’m sorry if this was discussed but there was a great This American Life episode recently called “Tell Me I’m Fat” which featured Lindy West, Roxane Gay and a few other stories. I would recommend it.

Congrats on all fronts! You are a badass! Also sorry about the soon-to-be-ex thing. I had a roommate in college who was going through that transition with her ex when we first lived together— it’s rough.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Have you ever read about narcissistic personality disorder and narcissistic abuse? Your story seems pretty classic for that, especially the complete discard at the end. I’ve been reading everything I can about it because I only recently realized I have a narcisstic parent, and…

I wonder if the lack of friendliness is because of the subject matter and the holy fuckness of this election cycle? It’s pretty grim and people are tense.

I’m grey there but I was inundated by trolls when I commented on something last week - that made me reevaluate why I opened my mouth in the first place. It was exhausting.

commenting to bump. I’ve been thinking about trying okcupid but I’m not sure I care enough to sort through the crap, you know?

Well, I’ve finally made it: somebody’s stolen my art to sell as wall stickers. Getting ripped off like that is a rite of passage or something, right?

That was horrible what happened and it's a fear I feel when I change in the locker room at the pool. It's hard to feel comfortable with our bodies and knowing someone is mocking our bodies doesn't help.

I’m right there with you.

Complaint Ahead: I miss having our own political articles on Jez.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted on the article of that horrid woman who mocked another woman in the gym. I said it paralyzed me and comfirmed all my worst fears.

Hey Jezzies— Talk to me about online dating. Any success stories? Horror stories? Tips? Is it something worth trying?

Hi everyone! I just got back from a family vacation at the beach. I spent the week playing with my cousins’ kids (an 8 year old and my other cousin’s 8 month old) and drinking wine with my cousin, mom and aunts. It was so much fun but I am exhausted. I got home and immediately napped and now I awake and searching for…

Hi, all! Happy to be back after a couple of weeks in **Alaska!** Not happy to be back in my nearly empty apartment in PA to grab random stuff and do final cleaning all by myself. Heading to Cincinnati next week, so wish me luck with the new job. Presented below are a moose and Denali, for your viewing pleasure.
