I Make Me So Mad

“By the way,” Roger said, “The Youngstown Kid offered to help with the campaign.”

I shook my head, “No he didn’t. He offered to run the campaign.”

Roger read my expression and asked why I had such a strong reaction. “The Kid is harmless, and he wants to help.”

“He’s a narcissist. Even when I was a therapist, I never liked dealing with narcissism.  Listening to someone brag gets old fast.”

“And public praise makes you uncomfortable. I’ve seen you squirm when you get a compliment.  Ever think some of your issue with The Youngstown Kid comes from your issues?”

“Maybe,” I said, knowing he was right.

Today I’ll look at my issues with someone to see if they’re not just my issues.
