I have long read and love Sherri’s stuff for several years, Melissa. With all the respect in the world I am not in the market for advice, nor is reading an article going to change anything. I assiduously refrain from using the word narcissist in this sense for I do not have the credentials to lay such a diagnosis on anyone. That said, we are all narcissists to some degree, but truth is, this piece was written in humor, which underscores the point. People who can laugh at such things are not victims. That’s a super power. That was the point of the story: it’s a humor piece. Dave and I have both invested inordinate time in counseling and Deep Work. Sometimes we just are where we are, we do what we do, and the only way to look at it is with a rich sense of humor.
