J’s Reviews > "Don't You Know Who I Am?": How to Stay Sane in an Era of Narcissism, Entitlement, and Incivility > Status Update

This chapter was very informative and validating. I recognize that I have played the part of the sycophant, and I am not at all proud of it. I held out with too much faith in others to change, to improve, to move forward together progressively experiencing a mutually wholesome evolution, and it was a fantasy.

Reminds me of my old manager, her husband, my brother, some cousins, and my parents, plus some so-called friends from child-adolescent hood, and a boyfriend or two. I guess if I was raised by narcissistic people, I would assume that was normal and match myself with what was familiar as I grew up. Now, I can’t stand people that way at all anymore. Not at all. It’s too toxic, and I’ve had more than enough. Done.
