21 June 2021 — According to the friend of a guy* my cousin knows:
“Narcissists have no capacity for context or proportion. Either you see things their way or you must be crushed into the ground. You cannot respectfully agree to disagree with them. Any criticism or difference of opinion is a challenge to their ‘authority, power, and control’ and is seen as a threat and will be treated with as such and you will be demeaned, debased, dehumanized and distrusted.”
And: “Such is the case with bating. The narcissist knows how to push your buttons to get you to engage in his or her game. Don’t engage!” ( * Greg Zafuto? )

The more I learn what bugs you, the less there’s left to say.
It seems that I get on your nerves a little more each day.
And though you say that’s not the case, and we still need to share,
While you insist we tell the truth, I know that I don’t dare.
They say that tears are Nature’s Balm, and not to be deplored,
But when they spring from cruelty, they’re more of a reward.
I’ll cherish my sweet anguish, so there’s no need to grieve.
If I can keep my lips shut tight, you need not disbelieve.

We won’t see Lehr every morning, we won’t have Lehr overnight.
He’s the guy who doesn’t know he’s never right, never right.
He’s abrasive and offensive; it’s like he doesn’t care,
So from now on, we’ll have no more Lehr, have no more Lehr.
