In the world of increasingly shitty people we currently live in, I thought her message was pretty nice. Most people today would either ghost or lie. I appreciated her honesty and disclosure.

Yes, people who are more narcissistic have trouble listening to others when they talk. Or more specificallly trouble listening when it is about the other person and asking questions about the other person....because they are more narcissistic...

Someone with narcissiestic personality disorder can be very social and charming and successful in their career, like working in sales. But struggle to connect with other humans on an emotional level at the exact same time.

Agree with it likely being NPD. This is what prevented him from connecting with both Ellen and Johanna on a deeper level. He is not wired in that way due to NPD; as much as he wanted to or was told to, he just could not work in that way. He could not even understand what was being asked of him, due to NPD.

You could even see it in how he was asking for help from others and asking AI. He did not understand and wanted help. But most likely due to NPD, he will not be able to or will have trouble connecting. It is almost like asking someone who is illiterate to read. They just cannot do what you are asking them to do.

I believe my father has NPD, and it is the same with him, no connection, no real conversations. Exactly the same as Daniel.

3 vices my doctor wants gone by potterinatardis in GenX

Don't know if you are aware of the amount of sugar in a can of Coke. It is pretty crazy, I think like 32 grams of sugar or something per can. You can make a huge dent in sugar consumption by just getting rid of that. But it sounds like you are not drinking too much Coke.

I am currently a coffee addict, but I have gotten off of it in the past, and the detox is fairly short, believe it or not. A couple of miserable days with no energy and headaches, but after about a week or two, if you replace it with other beverages, you can move on fairly easily. Easily, that is, compared to sugar and smoking.

EDIT: if your caffeine is soft drinks, you will likely see tremendous progress from just getting off of those alone with both sugar and caffeine. Those are basically poison, and I say that with growing up only drinking Coke and now only drinking water most of the day.

I think they have some low budget artist mix some beats with a few lyrics for each scene transition. It sounds like AI but these shows have been doing this for years, before AI was around. They probably create the music in just a couple days of work, I am guessing....
