[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 678727, member: 17461"] :hugs: Copa, you are so funny. Cedar True, though. :sorrowsmiley2: I read somewhere that there is a circle created of awe on one part and patronization, on the other. That until we are able to let go of judging altogether, we all operate along that circle somewhere. That is why kings and movie stars seem special to us, and why racism exists and so on. For some of us, that circle is a kind of abject, fawning awe versus contempt. The contempt happens because of the shame of the abject awe is projected. It isn't even anything personal, so they say. Just the way some of us are put together. That is why they say the love affair the narcissist engages in with himself is unrequited. He is caught out in the external locus of control world, too. But maybe, his world is scarier even than ours. Maybe the difference is in how power is ~ like, instead of everyone being well and well informed and well thought of, only the malignantly narcissistic person can be well thought of. Information is a form of currency. Remember my describing how my sister behaved about the suckers and the ~ everything, when my father was in the hospital. Or, how angry my mother was when, the first time I was shunned, I called the hospital to find out whether my father had survived CABG surgery. Which my sister had called to tell me about [I]once she was on the scene[/I]. And my mother hit the roof when she learned I had called the hospital and already knew, not only that my father had had the surgery, but that he'd survived. Strange, hurtful people. :sorrowsmiley2: [/QUOTE]
