What would you all say to this listener?

Again, thank you for reaching out.

This is such a frustrating experience.

Narcissism is something that until you sat across from it, you don't understand how impactful it is when the world revolves around one person.

and the world is only seen through the eyes of them, it is very disempowering.

So I really feel for what you've already been through, even previous to learning about this betrayal with this friend, and that he continues to try to minimize that and uses his anger to try and shut you down, it's really frustrating and very disempowering to have the person that you love continue to have a revolve around them and to not be truthful with you.

That he even went to the extent of going to a funeral where family was there and brought this other person with him to that is incredibly disrespectful.

What would you guys say to this listener?

So how do you define it and why is it so much more nuanced?

Yeah, it's complicated because our sexuality is a really great part of us.

When it gets out of control, then it becomes problematic.

But are you going to stop being sexual the rest of your life? No.

Some people do move into what has been labeled sexual anorexia, where they just kind of push away.

I don't want to deal with that anymore.

That then becomes another challenge.

What advice do you have for people who are suffering with isolation, but they want to reach out, but maybe they just are just shy or maybe have just reached out to people and been rejected in the past?
