Vlog 97 Healing - YouTube: Jennifer Armstrong2 minutes ago (edited)
I was one of those who did find the video on your mother dying wrought with emotion -- so much so that I could not comment on it myself. I don't go so close to such intense emotions.
On the point of context, THIS is why I keep insisting on historical context. People these days are taught lazy methods, for instance to rely on hunches, rather than check historical context and see what is different between their own circumstances and experiences and those of another.
Onto my third point, I have become too healthy to abide here in the so-called "narcissist support community". I have you, NF, very much to thank for deepening my understanding and maturity, but I still do not want to stay here too long, even on the extreme periphery, because I absolutely do not belong here at all, above all culturally. My thinking does not go along the same lines of those who divide the world into narcissists and co-dependents, or perpetrators and passive victims of abuse. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before I am once again taken out of context, and attacked by people who have not taken the time to learn how to do basic research or to think for themselves (for instance not even taking a few seconds, as I noticed recently from a commentator, to find out whether I have my own YouTube channel before accusing me of nefarious misdeeds such as overcommenting.)
Anyway, you (NF) are very graceful under fire, and we can all learn a lot from you.
As for myself (and perhaps this doesn't bear repeating), I can't abide American anti-intellectualism -- what I see as the cultural wilfulness to take things out of context. I believe I am completely in my rights to defend myself against nothing short of a global threat. This cultural wilfulness is a significant threat to global thinking, and I am the eternal enemy of those who visit my site and expect me to pander to their own cultural needs whilst not even showing me the courtesy of taking several minutes of their time to do very basic research on my historical background and my own cultural identity.
By the way, I have stated my position here in detail because I do believe there may be people here who are mature enough, intellectually as well as psychologically and emotionally, to understand precisely what I am saying. If not, no harm done, and am already on my own way.
