Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?
Bella_French:
Does anyone know the band `garbage'? I've been listening to some of their songs this week on youtube, and I get the strange sense that Shirley Manson (the lead singer/song writer) has a lot fo experience with Narcissism. This song `stupid girl' and another song `Milk' are very beautiful and haunting, and the lyrtics, if you listen are all about a female narcissist, expressed so poetically. Not sure if its her POV or describing te bullies she grew up with though.
STUPID GIRL LYRICS:
You pretend youre high
You pretend youre bored
You pretend youre anything
Just to be adored
And what you need
Is what you get
Dont believe in fear
Dont believe in faith
Dont believe in anything
That you cant break
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted
What drives you on what drives you on
Can drive you mad can drive you mad
A million lies to sell yourself
Is all you ever had
Dont believe in love
Dont believe in hate
Dont believe in anything
That you cant waste
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Cant believe you fake it
Cant believe you fake it
Dont believe in fear
Dont believe in pain
Dont believe in anyone
That you cant tame
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Cant believe you fake it
Cant believe you fake it
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Cant believe you fake it
Cant believe you fake it

WOW-- Bell
What great lyrics.

Interesting......not familiar with the band.
In dealing with a passive-aggressive N, it's annoying to explain my obvious work schedule exactly one week before and she STILL ignored the information and continues to attempt to force her assumptions on me. When people have a committment to their boss to work their scheduled hours, in order to earn a paycheck, it's aggravating to deal with an N who assumes you are going to ditch your job for her convenience.

Dear AMi,
Thank you! I should start a thread sometime, about N-victimization expressed in culture. A few bands have written extensively about it as N victims, such as Garbage, some of madonna's latest albums (ray of light especially), and a band called `dead can dance', which is very old (but the lyricist is still around- she did most of the music for the Gladiator soundtrack, with Russel Crowe). The lyrics make me shiver! I'd love to find more, because the music that accompanies the lyrics tends to be hauntingly beautiful. I like seeing art made from pain; theres a sublime beauty to it.
Dear Bones ,
Sorry for the sidetrack. I can understand your frustration; I agree that N's are totally disrespectful. Have you decided how you are going to approach ending the friendship? It sounds as though she hasn't got the message (although she will probably ignore THAT too for a while)
X Bella

Thanks, Bella!
Right now, I don't want to communicate with her as I don't have the energy to keep covering the same ground repeatedly.
