Title: just two short things from me
Post by: reallyME on January 18, 2007, 01:45:38 PM
Hi all...I'm at college on the puter there...I LOVE my ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY CLASS! I just wanted to let you all know that it is turning out to be very fascinating and informative. Today we talked briefly about Narcissism and after class I told my teacher about my own experiences. He suggested that I share with the class without being real specific as to the relationship of the people to me. Please pray that I am able to do that, as discretion is not a strong point for me at all. I am what most call a "whistle blower." I HATE injustice and I'm one who doesn't just accept people being mistreated, without speaking up.
I got about 5 books on Narcissism today from the library, so I'm excited about learning even more.
that's all for now. My computer is being repaired so my time is limited here.
Blessya'll

Hi reallyME
Well good for you, and what people neeed is everyday language from someone who knows and it might sink in better. We know those not involved with an N are not aware of this abnormality
Good Luck Izzy

And we know, Izzy, that those who benefit from an N (like my sister) will do everything to avoid acknoledging that the disorder exists.

Hey RM, In my n-h o, you don't need to blow the whistle on specific Ns. I think the teacher was asking you to share about narcissism, and perhaps about the main traits (you know, ways a person displays the DSM-IV criteria).
You can do that...just by saying you learned from a toxic friendship the difference between a mask of empathy and the real thing.
Hops

Yes Hops,
I don't intend on mentioning the name of the people involved at all. In fact, to be honest with you, I've really been missing Jodi a lot lately and wishing she'd contact me. Maybe that sounds wacky to you all, considering the things I've shared, but it's true. If she ever came to me again, I would be kind and compassionate to her, rather than so angry and hateful...at least, I'm pretty sure I would. I have been doing some growing in my life.
