Edited too late in previous post, re. Lydia’s narcissism:
ps. I also look fondly on my family‘s and my pics, and cannot stop myself from laughing at the dresses, my haircut in the 80s OMG!, my father‘s mustache and the likes. It is lovely and just so funny at the same time
Difference here with Lydiot is that she seems to deceive herself and others that those were not occasion gets ups or trends, but wealthy status symbols and shows them off as such. She thinks it is a brag cos she is as dumb as the hardest rock and does not really know that we all, regardless of wealth, dressed like that on trend at the time, and rather than taking a healthy laugh at how ridiculous we all sometimes looked at the time, she will brag until she dies cos she really thinks those were status symbols (again, dumbest one on the block, go back to school), and she is a hardcore narcissist and that never dies, nor is redeemable with therapy. Sadly there is no cure for narcissism cos they don’t see there is ever a problem with them and their worldview, so why fix it. They believe they are the best and know-it-alls, and everyone else is always on the wrong or merely the recipient of the narcissist’s lack of self accountability (they have none, nor empathy btw). Everything they do wrong is always somebody else’s fault. Everything. They are just perfect so why would they need therapy for “perfection”. And if the rest of the world is not an enabler or dares to constructively criticize, we are all just mean and awful and “me me me I will play the victim card when confronted”. Always. So why go to therapy for something that does not exist in their minds, however delusional it is seen by the rest of the world. What an absurd and incoherent idea, now, Lyds?
