They are a required part of the tale. To gloss over them means you'd be missing the important parts!Jonsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517677634712242866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026750446842946390.post-10087857135859419272013-06-11T21:12:25.133-06:002013-06-11T21:12:25.133-06:00Man, don't I know it! I never, ever intend to...Man, don't I know it! I never, ever intend to write as much as I do. Then, there I am, a million paragraphs later.<br /><br />Narcissism lives in the details. The little things. The teeny, tiny pebbles that weight us down under a weight of a million teeny, tiny stones. It's so hard to describe this shit without including the details, because to gloss over it all is to miss the point (or maybe I just feel that's where you can really see the truth, in those little details). And those details are so easy to hide, to dismiss, to rationalize and explain away.<br /><br />This really is the abbreviated version ;). I think that's why it is so hard too. It's just this constant stream of small shit. Jabs in the back. Passive aggressive, below the belt, pokes. And there is so much of it that I can't even write it all down before new shit is pouring in. It's like being in quick sand sometimes. jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06399613921768190064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026750446842946390.post-86327535842084336092013-06-11T20:49:31.146-06:002013-06-11T20:49:31.146-06:00Thanks, my friend.

In fact, I have a post (lined up in my head with a million others) about how I feel "grown up" all of a sudden. <br /><br />And the writing compliment, coming from you, means tons to me. It has brightened my day.jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06399613921768190064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026750446842946390.post-79932210723514809672013-06-11T20:29:02.145-06:002013-06-11T20:29:02.145-06:00PS - so funny that this is the "abbreviated&q...PS - so funny that this is the "abbreviated" version of events. That makes me smile. Reminds me of how I write.<br /><br />DH - "What are you writing about?"<br /><br />Me - "Oh, just recent events. I'll only be a few minutes, I think. It's going to be short."<br /><br />Four hours later...<br /><br />Me - "Ah! Done, Jones....Jones? (Where did he go?)"<br />DH, fast asleep on the couch: ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz<br /><br />I'm sure it didn't take you that long to write this, but I thought it was pretty awesome that this very detailed version started out as the short version. It's kind of sad in a way, isn't it? (On a more serious note). NOTHING is that simple when dealing with narcissists. It can never just be "abbreviated" or simple. It's always so damn complicated underneath the sticky-sweet facade they so desperately hold on to.Jonsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517677634712242866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026750446842946390.post-2170443458394470682013-06-11T18:27:20.952-06:002013-06-11T18:27:20.952-06:00You are a fantastic writer. You come up with some ...You are a fantastic writer. You come up with some really awesome metaphors and analogies. <br /><br />And this: "I hate that, even with NC, ACoNs are left looking over their shoulder, waiting for the boogie man to jump out of the shadows. That, even with boundaries, we jump at a phone ringing or get sinking feelings (instead of happy ones) when an unexpected package shows up." Even though I'm not an ACoN, I so know that feeling. I get a tinge of it every time I check the mail. Every time. Maybe it's because I know enough about the narcs to know they aren't ever going to stop completely and so I always feel like I have to be on guard and it sucks.<br /><br />On a lighter note, I can hear your strength in this post. I know we talked about this stuff in private already, but it's kind of crazy reading your stuff aloud (I'm alone) - there's such a strength about you, and wisdom. There's a solid core in you, even while your talking about how difficult this stuff is and how you sometimes falter in dealing with the narcs.Jonsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517677634712242866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9026750446842946390.post-36211978745650986782013-04-17T14:35:57.540-06:002013-04-17T14:35:57.540-06:00I'm hoping so.
