Cram Danly :
This works until like your mid twenties while all of your friends, coworkers and family slowly distance themselves from you without really even knowing why they feel miserable being around you and you descend into a lonely narcissism you no longer have a support system to help you recover from. You haunt the outer edges of new social circles, telling the next group of potential friends how jealous/small/mean your previous friends ended up being, how unfair your boss was to fire you out of nowhere, how it was your idea to break up, how no gets you, how no one is as smart, how you give too much of yourself, how you’ve been held back bybother people. By your mid thirties you’re hanging out with younger friends as a “mentor”, until they grow up and you find a new set of victims. You move, you change careers, you “reinvent” yourself… then you’re fifty, you live alone, you never learned to do anything that wasn’t easy. All the shame catches up. You tell the same stories. You’re boring. You’re sick of yourself. You descend into self-pity, and if anyone is kind enough to try to connect, you realize you don’t even bother being slick anymore. You resent anyone that this shit works on, and the only thing that feels like real or honest connection is to lash out, and control the moment they learn to cut you out of their lives.
