[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a bright nephew who skipped a grade in elementary school and is now a 20-year-old senior at a top university. We spoke over the phone the other night and he confided in me that he’s been feeling very lonely these past few months, because all his friends are 21 and have going to bars without him every weekend.

I told him I was sorry to hear that, which I truly am, but I also feel I can relate. I was the only one of my friends from high school, as well as among my siblings, not to get accepted into an elite college. I can understand exactly the feelings of jealousy and loneliness my nephew is experiencing. When I pointed this out to him, he told me I can’t possibly know how he feels, and immediately hung up on me.[/quote]

Why it's obvious:  You responded as would a narcissist.  Instead of addressing his concerns as he expressed him, you made the conversation all about yourself.

Typical woman, typical leftist, typical Progressive, typical DCUM poster.[/quote]
