I have instances when my familial Narcissists pressured me into doing something but I was able to say no (even though it was extremely difficult as I was under their spell and I didn’t know what they are) because I knew that it was against who I am. It’s just easier to keep my boundaries if I know what my core values are. As for the degree, I personally favor knowing myself more than knowing my enemy but they are both essential. That’s why finding this website has been a life changer for me. I knew myself but I could never understand the narcissists because they are nothing like me. In my experience, the quote that you gave was proven to be false. I think that’s one of the ways I survived my childhood was look at some of my Lesser mom’s behaviors in a humorous way. I’LL KEEP LEARNING AND THATS A BEAUTIFUL THING. I GUESS, ALL THIS TIME I WAS ONLY READING THE POSTS THAT WERE PERTAINING TO MY CHILDHOOD OR ADULT LIFESTYLE BUT OMITTED THE POSTS THAT WERE ALSO IMPORTANT. SO I TOOK THE TEST ONE MORE TIME I HAVE 50. AND SHARON HATES HIM BECAUSE I STILL CARE ABOUT HIM AND WANT THE BEST FOR HIM ( HES A MAN ) AND HER NARC GRANDMOTHER AND MOTHER HAVE GROOMED HER TO HATE MEN. THE MALE NARC HATES HER BECAUSE SHE HELPS ME GET OUT BY DRIVING MY CAR & WE LAUGH AND GO TO BREAKFAST OR LUNCH TOGETHER ,HE HATED THAT. BUT I LET HER GO BECAUSE OTHER WISE SHE’S NOT A BAD PERSON. NOW I NEED HER LESS AT MY HOME ( I’M DOING MY COOKING, CLEANING, ANIMALS, )SHE APPEARS VERY ANGRY OFTEN AT ME.
SHE’S LEARNING TOO MUCH ALSO HAS LEARNED BY WATCHING MY MALE NARC FRIEND HOW TO HURT ME IN DIFFERENT WAYS, THROUGH MONEY, AND CONTROL DURING MY TWO TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERIES. WHAT? MY FRIEND HER NAME IS ALSO SHARON AND HAS BEEN SHARING SOME INFORMATION ON NARCISSISM WITH ME, SHE’S ALSO A NURSE.
Stay safe dearest Lorelei, with warm virus free hugs ? We’re almost in our winter, everyone’s going to be coughing n sneezing, germfest haven, so this will be interesting, coming out of covid hibernation only to be sent back home I wouldn’t be too complacent in case of a second wave ! The news reports with Americans flocking to the beaches n totally disregarding social distancing, is disturbing, a country with one of the highest death ratesĪlso Trump giving the go ahead to open churches so soon I’m gobsmacked with what’s coming out of Trumps mouth and the drug that’s going in it We were all negative, (we’re in the high risk age group) thank goodness we didn’t take a cruise ! I almost kissed the tarmac when we landed haha
We were lucky enough to go on our pre booked overseas trip and returning with less than 24 hours before our country went into lockdown n quarantine (everyone on the plane, I think, was a tad tense) You’re one of our frontline heroines, so a huge thankyou So glad your tests were negative lovely, sounds like you’re doing an amazing job I’m anxious about it because I don’t want to lose my ass! It is a shit hole! #Busy! (I have a dark blue kitchen cabinet idea with Craigslist new/used appliances for my daughter’s house) The other house is a disaster near my work that my friend and I are flipping. I am also redoing two houses on shoe string budgets upcoming. I also used the power tool and didn’t kill anyone. I am anxious about the fall as I have more travel scheduled and see it doing down the toilet! A side note–I am eagerly awaiting my hand forged wrought iron antique nails from Etsy. Our case load overall is going down, we may have already peaked. They can stay and recuperate all day and receive appropriate resources. Interestingly, we have a shelter set up for COVID + patients that are homeless. I really just felt like hell this weekend though and did it just in case. It took me a short while to catch on to this correlation, and I wasn’t N95 protected during screening, etc. Just being homeless does not warrant isolation protocol per se, but I am finding that I am ordering it anyway and they are coming back positive quite a bit. We have a large homeless population and I am their initial screener. I’ve been tested twice now–about a month apart. It was negative and I felt better the following day Alexis.
