amy nada i suppose "we all" try to come to conclusions about narcissism. i, personally, don't tell stories because i haven't perfected the art of being story-centered, instead of me-centered. eventually, when i get my philosophy together (and i'll never get a social life together, i'm way too far behind for that to happen), i hope to have a story to tell.

but, for now, while i do the work that leads to the cohesive perspective that leads to the story, it's just that: hoping. while narcissism is very real and very evident and very active. it's how i keep my brain together.

although, some might argue, who admits they're a narcissist? a narcissist or a non-narcissist? sometimes i think i may be too hard on myself... i'm just extraverted in all the wrong ways, it seems.

amy nada there's some questions i need answered: which of the issues are developmental, and which are disease oriented? which do you keep chugging away at (disease oriented) and which do you chalk up to lost time (developmental)? i suppose the developmental ones are the ones that people normally even have a clue about, so they really don't generally see or mirror back what can even hoped to be worked out.

sometimes, i suspect the disease *is*, basically, a developmental impairment. which is interesting, but really serves to heighten the isolation. and that can be caused by stigma from other people, but it can also just be born with the person his-or-her self. which is interesting, because it leaves pretty much nobody off the hook. BUT only if your perspective is centered on these things does it seem like such an all-encompassing problem. if it doesn't apply to you, it's not your issue, just forget about it. that seems to be justice.


it's not blind justice.... but, what can you expect from people? right?
