How To Deal With A Narcissist

Learn how to recognize and deal with a narcissist. 

LOL, It is hilarious that I am posting this in my personal blog where it is all about me.

Ha ha, did you ever notice how many things rhyme with station? Frustration, irritation, procrastination… I am experiencing all those today. Maybe I need so meditation…some fornication would be nice too.

I am trying to plan out my classes for next year, for my degree in English. I would even like to take a few more psychology classes. Well half the course catalog isn’t being offered for English; from what I here it is because they don’t have the professor to teach it. It is very frustrating because all the classed I am interested in are the ones not being offered. I tend to gravitate more toward British Literature between the late eighteenth century and the late nineteenth century. That is what I like to read and what I learn best from. Of course there is no on to teach them. I also can deal with early American Lit and I would love to learn more about Women’s and Ethnic Lit. Either those classes don’t fit my schedule (or conflict) or they aren’t needed for the degree. I am frustrated and irritated! I am stuck with Modern American and Modern British Lit, a playwriting class or a business writing class – bore me! Oh I suppose I should take that back, there probably is something that will interest me but it is not what I really want.

Then I am also disappointed – the psychology department is not offering much of anything new that I can take. Not in spring, summer, or fall. UGH! There is one class I can take but that is far away on another campus. Truly the course offerings are slim pickings. What the __? So I am on my own. I am truly thinking about what I would have to do to either transfer to UM -Dearborn or even apply to Ann Arbor for my English degree. It just seems like a lot of work when all I need are eight more English classes to complete my second degree.

Then I think all this might be for naught because if I get the job I interviewed for I won’t have the time.

Yesterday was National Nap Day but I was unable to celebrate. I had to work in the morning, class in the afternoon, and then it just didn’t seem right to nap in the evening. I think the changing season is doing a number on me physically – I had the aches and my sinuses were acting up yesterday. Today I have earaches in both ears. Not nice. I really need a nap today though. I am sleepy although I had nice sleep last night. I can’t though – I to go to class. I skipped the first part of my day because of the stupid earaches. I wish I could skip the rest and nap. This blog post is pretty nap inducing, ha ha.

To spice it up a bit: I guess yesterday was also National Steak and BJ Day too, ha. I read some DJ or blogger started it as the men’s Valentine Day. Oh geez…

Ugh! That is all I feel like doing lately is eating. Eat eat eat. I need to stop. I need to start eating healthier and I need to go back to the gym. I got off track at the end of last semester with going to the gym because I was stressing out about all the papers I had to write – when I was at the gym I felt anxious thinking about all the other stuff I should be doing. I tried to get back into this semester but I have been lazy – and then there is eating. I would rather go to lunch then go to the gym, haha.

I intend to start eating healthier and go back to the gym. I need to do something about my obesity – learning all about obesity and its effects on the body is scary. I want to be healthy and of course I want to look better. I am not the type of person that looks good fat. Some women look beautiful fat just not me. And I am sick of not finding clothes that fit right! Ha, so I need to quit procrastinating about this and do it. Graduation is right around the corner, somewhere, and I want to look good.

Sometimes a quote can say it better when you don’t have time or patience to explore (by writing) what you are feeling. Five great quotes of the day:

Veritas odium parit

False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.

~ Plato

Repetition does not transform a lie into a truth.

~ Franklin Roosevelt

The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.

~ Thomas Carlyle

The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.

~ T. Szasz

Lies and conceit are not my faults – those belong to someone else. The inability to forgive, that one I can claim. I refuse to be naive and since I do not think of myself as stupid I must work on being wise.

“My life is an open book, but don’t expect me to read it to you.”

~David Hyde Pierce

I love that quote. It has that cute little twist at the end. I have always tried to live my life that way – open and honest. I think it is the best way to be. My only mistake is thinking that most people are like me when some are not. There are a lot of people out there that try to lie and manipulate, try to hide their true intentions, who they really are. I see them, I see through them, I pity them.
