NRTS (Not Repairable at This Station) 2

[WenikiTiki]

I got some books I ordered today in the mail. Didn't sit down and read, too busy. But I flipped open "The Sociopath Next Door" and was rewarded with some enlightenment.

It was in the chapter on how to know you are dealing with a sociopath. The author believes the greatest weapon of the sociopath is gaining pity. That pity gives carte blanche to them.

And boy did that help me. Because I know my pity is where I always let people take advantage of me. I had some dealing with a genuine nut job a few years ago. She was being horrible and getting away with it because she had led a bunch of people to believe her husbands cancer had come back.

I later learned he was still in remission, and he was suprised to hear that anyone thought he was sick.

But pity is how OW became my friend. Poor, poor her, the other wives are mean to her. Poor, poor her, her H works all the time. Poor, poor her, she is so shy.

And pity is why I don't set better boundaries with my STBXH. So I am going to wash some dogs, floors and my car and think about that.

And Verab the more you read these threads the more you learn. I will try to go read your thread. I'm slammed right now, but like to read a little every day. Trying to keep up with my internet friends.

I also wanted to share that I got another boost as an artist. I have been asked to teach an all-day Indigo class at a retreat being held in Kona this coming February. What an honor.

The lady holding the retreat is pretty famous in the quilting world. I held an indigo class in her honor when she taught here and she thinks I should write a book. She has written several.

Kona is over on the Big Island, the one with black sand beaches and the volcano......

Aloha,
