No one cares about your life or what happens to you...
That’s why you have to care about it.
And when people who hate themselves and can’t care about their own lives see you doing a good job being interested in your life...
They call you a narcissist because they’re jealous of your ability.
Who called you a narcissist, Flo?

Everyone calls me a narcissist...
It’s all they can come up with.
The truth is they wish they could care about what they’re doing.
Maybe they don't understand the definition of narcissism. A narcissist is overly preoccupied with his image, and demands that others fawn on him. I wouldn't think a narcissist would necessarily be interested in what he's doing with his life because he expects to be admired for his looks and charm rather than his accomplishments.

Well they go throwing words around based on their own perception (of you and other things outside of themselves) and eventually those words start taking on other meanings don’t they?
They’re inevitably wrong about literally everything they try to paint onto you and your life.

And the catch-22 is that the people who assume you DO care about their fuckin’ lives tend to be the most insufferable of all. For real. It’s these obnoxious dichotomies that seem to fuel existence itself.
Like friction and repulsion at the same time.
Don't let it get to you. You have an enviable life. Blazing your own trail. It's not surprising that shiftless people are jealous.
A friend of mine always said the best revenge is living well. Live well, O daughter of my loins.

Ah yes, the virtue signalers. The ones who make a virtue of being generous with other people's resources but never their own are the most obnoxious of all.

Thanks... I appreciate your words of encouragement and positivity.
Honestly... I take some of this as a cautionary tale about examining other people’s lives when I don’t have any idea WTF is actually going on.
If I see flaws in other other, I better take a closer look at myself.
I think a lot of times I’m right about some of my assessments but... I know how annoying it is to be on the other end and have people be wrong about stuff.
Ah well it’s all very interesting.
"see you doing a good job being interested in your life"
Dude ...lol

Well, I would say you're definitely not a drama queen or jealous of other women, which are both signs of a female narcissist.

I'm definitely not jealous OF other women...
But in my younger years in romance I was jealous re: my man and the idea of other chicks flirting with him or the idea I might be cheated on.
That's just a lack of confidence which I believe is common in young chicks. I think these days I'd be better... which is another reason I don't care about getting older. Yeah your body goes downhill on a gradual precession to death, and dudes don't really want you anymore anyway... but being relieved of fear and jealousy in relationships is worth that price.
Maturity (to any degree, and emotional et al) is worth the toll of time.

She was talking about being jealous of other women's success or good fortune, and trying to one-up them like it's some kind of contest.
A good woman should be wary of sluts trying to lead her man astray.

The thing is, the fear of being called a bunch of mean shit is what stops a lot of people from sharing themselves (their lives, viewpoints, experiences, be they interesting or not)...
Insults and mean shit are a part of life, that'll always be out there.
I just hope that the desire to share and be heard/seen/known will outweigh peoples' fear of being called this or that...
I don't think anyone's life is too plain (or conversely, too over the top) to be shared, I think everyone needs to step out into the light and be known so there can be a chance to be understood.

i think the term narcissist is overused these days, most people dislike or hate themselves. what they are, are idiots in the classic greek sense of the word - `only concerned about oneself, not the state.` that doesn't mean one should be all FUCK YEAH GREECE/'MERCA/LOCALIZED ARBITRARY REGION! but one should realize that we are all apart of one system and interconnected. that old golden rule, treat others as you would want to be treated, sort of deal.
