Oh my...just...oh dear, what have I started?! :eek: Every post I've read so far left me like this: :roflmao: (*hug*) :badgrin: :icon_bigg Yes, the avatar is my pic from '86, that person, however, no longer exists. Christian Bale? I wish. Super villain in real life? That would be telling... :icon_wink Yes, typing is difficult for whales...but we manage as best we can. Tightrope, to your question about narcissism, which seems to be a big preoccupation these days, here's what I've learned from James Ogilvy: Primary narcissism, is the relative innocence of a childlike self-love that is almost oblivious to otherness. secondary narcissism isn't so innocent, more egotistical self-love that makes a choice between love of self and love of another tertiary narcissism, what happens when a secondary narcissist gets scolded for being narcissistic and is made to feel guilty for loving himself, it is so guilty that it refuses to accept itself as narcissism. It is a preoccupation with self that lacks an appreciation of self. Tertiary narcissism is self-love locked in coitus with self-hatred. Thank you all for your comments dear friends. As for a fan club? I love the old Groucho Marx joke: "I would never want to be part of a club that would have me as a member"
Dang! Don't know if we can forgive you for denying THAT to the gay world for all this time :icon_wink And PS... proud to have you as a member of the tribe.
GW, you seem like one of those guys who's so wise that he doesn't speak much on a subject unless it's absolutely necessary. But you're respected.
Thanks. I learned something new today. I don't think I would have stumbled into this by perusing in a bookstore.
