How does your lack of ability to connect manifest?
Do you feel connected to characters in books or movies/do their hardships affect you?
Are you doing any kind of exercises to change patterns around thinking/relating?
How do you feel NPD hurts you?
Last one, don't answer if you don't want, but what caused you to seek out professional help?
Continuing to plot out the book I hope I'm writing. And hang out with the family. And clean. And get rid of more crap. Ooh, and a friend's birthday dinner tomorrow ❤️
Hopefully my ratio of writing to the other stuff is decent.
I wish one of those steps ahead had been a successful prosecution.

women can't marry older than 25? What kind of bass ackwards handmaid's tale bullshit is that?
Japanese instructors in college would tell us how older unmarried women would be referred to as 'Christmas Cakes'--no one wanted one after the 25th. Although they were happy that had been a changing attitude.
Why do you think they want everyone uneducated and saddled with more kids than they want/can afford?
I'm willing to bet there's millions of women who didn't vote/voted for the male candidate in part due to internalized misogyny.
Yeah, a lot has been said about why the 'Democrats' failed; sure they were/are imperfect.
Where are the articles bemoaning our stupid and/or mean citizens who have no curiosity and think being obstinate will work like a time machine? I'm frustrated to hell with apathy of my countrymen.
Book recommendation: Persepolis. It's a graphic novel autobiography of a girl who lived through the Iranian revolution and eventually moved to Paris. It's a very accessible read.
We went to one of the several trunk or treats in our town. I chose one of the less busy ones so my kid could understand what the massive downtown one would be like if she wanted to do that. We waited in line from trunk to trunk for a whole hour, got meh candy, got to get inside emergency vehicles (that was cool), got to see a lot of other people's costumes (also really fun), but mostly it was waiting. Standing mostly still. And then the advertised time came for it to be over, even as people were still waiting in line, tables and cars all broke down and started leaving us in a sad, barren lot. We went trick or treating for the main event after all, and got excellent candy, saw all kinds of cool houses as we actively walked with a friend for as long as we wanted.
