Do you know anyone (just ANYONE) who sometimes behave as thou they are the center of the whole damn earth?
Well I do.
Everything that happens is "because of their presence and/or contribution. If it weren’t for them, the results wouldn’t have been so great."
And everything that DOESN'T happen...weeellll that'll be "because they were not there or didn't have any contribution. ‘Cause if they were there, a whole new planet would have been born. With a population of thousands."
If, by any chance, something wonderful happens to other people and they were not there or didn't contribute to that ....they just don't want to hear and or talk about it. Randomly they’ll skip the conversation to the next topic. Or they’ll just sit there for a couple seconds and look at you with a puzzled look in their eyes.
I mean, give me a break!!! Really! You can’t be THAT self-absorbed!
Now I don’t want anyone to get me wrong, I have NOTHING against high spirits, positivism, people fighting to break free from whoever or whatever’s keeping them down, having a new awareness of self OR even having an imaginative world where only you exist.
But some people…they just surpass the boundaries waaaaayy too much. And their fullness of self makes them so unbearable…
Get a grip my dear, you are not the sun!
Not as hot, not as bright, not as loved and not quite as needed…
I guess that gives you the message:
“The world doesn’t damn revolve around you”
“When we are narcissistic, we are not on solid ground (earth) or thinking clearly (air) or caught up in passion (fire). Somehow if we follow the myth, we are dreamlike, fluid, not clearly formed, more immersed in a stream of fantasy than secure in a firm identity.”
Thomas Moore
"Love doesn't die a natural death. Love has to be killed, either by neglect or narcissism. Those guilty of these two crimes of the heart always hide behind excuses convenient; too ashamed, lacking in integrity and courage to face the truth. To them, it is always something other than their own actions, desires and self-importance that dictate circumstances. For these people, so blind to truth, true love can never be fully experienced for they have never really given of themselves all that they are."Frank Salvato
