Slate has an article about Nism today

I enjoyed the comments as much as the article...

Thanks Hops for the post.

Another stupid article though. I wish these writers who make a living at it could you, know, bother to scratch the surface once in a while and do more than cite experts and studies...its not only boring but gives no experiential perspective about it. And, why write an article to try to make something relevant while referring to a profession that is divided about its relevance? Well duh.

I guess I am at the point that I/we here at the board know more than what some people can tell us and there is just less for us to learn. Ive found that to be true over the weekend after attending a workshop on difficult people. The speaker was not very experienced and it was a waste of my time.

Thanks again Hops, always appreciate being on top of things in the world around us.

I  found this article kind of annoying. It went all over map and I would guess it was written by a young author who talks too fast and has a very good memory but who lacks a depth that usually comes with a bit of experience. Most annoying that she takes such breezy tone about something that has torn the guts out of survivors of naricissistic behaviour.

Super annoying. Like Sex and the City talks about Narcissism. For those souls out there that don't know what has hit them information about nism is useful and there are smarty pants dribs and drabs there.
