I want to thank rebel for poitning out Narcissism and how I believe it effects %70+ of the U.S. population.
A good example, is my best friends co-worker who is new to Montana from Denver. After wondering "what gives" with out-spoken guy who has ALL the answers....and has everbody figured out.. I finally figured the guy out by looking at his Facebook page.
Yep.. his 78 or so friends are all wearing designer clothes and taking about "eating lobster" in Conneticut from a client meeting in Baja mexico....and on and on. You should see some of the beautiful women and guys who are on there only worried about their image and clicks.
The media is totally to blame for turning the majority of the US population into obese consumers who judge you by your clothes and occupation.
In my expereince the teacher friend in my life and my ex-fiance (both M. ed) who is also a teacher are "NOT" narcissistic...So I believe narcissism is rampant among the less educated masses in our society (thanks to media and feminism...etc) and those people with occupations that evolve around business and money.
So I think this sucks and another reason why I'm going overseas for part of-or if if not the remainder of my life. I just see narcissism in alot of AW and WM these days.
My ex was pretty down to earth as far as Narcissism goes... but 250lbs?? and had major controlling and worrying issues/episodes. Therefore I made a clear decision to generally respect her....but we all have high respect for some people in our life...but that doesn't mean we want to marry and spend the rest of our life with them.
Thanks,
David
