Narcisism

this made it's way into my inbox today. It's so spot on it's crazy.

What do narcissists usually regret when they're old?

My mom is now 65 years old and she is a covert narcissist. One night I was in her house and I heard her crying in her room, I went to see what was happening, why she was crying. Then she started to tell me how she wasted her whole life. And she said she never should've married my dad and her life would've been so much better if she hadn't.

My parents got married when my mom was 22 years old, and back then she hadn't a family, she had no education and no money, nothing at all. My dad worked so hard and he became a teacher, made a good life and always treated her well. He never hit her and never cheated and he never even drank. With all of that she was miserable, and of course in her opinion, it's always someone's fault.

Now she sits in her room every night drinking and feeling sorry for herself. She tells herself that she is special and that she could've gone far in her life if my dad hadn't ruined everything.

Narcissists never take responsibility for the decisions they made, they always blame someone else, and if they can't find a reason for someone to blame, they twist the story to fit what they want to believe. It's truly very sick.

This hobby can change your life

this post by Ryan Holiday made it's way into my inbox today. of course it resonated with me because I've been picking up the red plastic weed wacker line on Mt. Philo everyday. I went through the same thought process - it annoyed me so much that they would weed wack the sides of the roads and leave all this bright red plastic. So I decided that instead of complaining about it I was going to pick it all up. And it became an obsession! There may be a spot of red here and there - but I think for the most part we got it all. I saw we because John couldn't stop looking for it either.
