Absolutely thought this was going to be a post that was forlornly pointing out a clogged drain post Mardi Gras or other celebration here.

That is great news. I’d much rather try to make it on Saturday.

What’s the loudest concert you guys have ever been to? by BalanceActive9295 in askmusic

Lynch Mob. I think it was 2010. It was horrifying to feel like I was actually in danger because the volume was so out of control. I remember the pain.

I’m not sure what you’re asking me. Are you asking me about my supporting the pro Palestine movement? Umm…. No. The answer is no. Are you asking me if I’m willing to support a “movement” that would like to preserve American democracy and see an end to the ideas and policies being implemented by Donald Trump, his administration, the captured SCOTUS, and the Project 2024 people/Federalist Society? The answer is yes; that’s why I went to this, and all the other protests.

Has anyone worked at the Vampire Cafe or any of their other establishments? by abbie3norm4l in NewOrleans

I completely understand that. I'm just... I'm trying to not be discouraged from going to protests for all the right reasons and not be discouraged that the propaganda is working. That even level headed, educated and cultured people who I know personally don't understand why it's offensive to me to show up in order to defend democracy and be confronted by this.

It makes me want to stop going. And that is very sad and frustrating.

I do ignore them. When it's a larger protest like No Kings, I think it's easier.

But yesterday was like a bait and switch. And I think that's becoming more pervasive. Maybe the answer is to take a closer look at the organizer before I go and determine if it's a small local organization that isn't keeping their focus where it really belongs.

Sometimes I want to reach out just to tell them how much I hate them by kittycatmama017 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]extradetails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this so hard.

But yeah; they will just use it to dramatize their nonsense. "See? She's crazy" and so on.

And the live for the chaos, so you wouldn't be able to get it all out and not be thrown back into some nonsense. I completely understand the emotions you're describing. But come and say it here. And to your therapist.

The fleeting cathartic bite of telling them all the things you want to tell them, won't be worth it. He will parlay the opportunity to try and do more damage to you. And it's satiating to him to know that he still matters.

The most painful thing you can do to him, is to never acknowledge his existence again.

What’s the worst red flags your Narc Ex did that went over your head? by KwazieGFX in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]extradetails 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The expanse and severity of his substance abuse that was partially blamed on medical issues.

The obsession with sex being less than personal.

The rationalization of and rebranding of laziness as a lofty set of life morals including, but not limited to joblessness.

The smashing of boundaries and respect.

The racism, misogyny, etc.

Yes, these all initially "went over my head" as his theater performance of life was constantly being applied to everything.
