[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 679222, member: 18958"] What may make their paths more difficult is how little control they have. Their control seems to reside in controlling things outside of themselves over which by definition they have only the illusion of control. If their control depends upon defining us, *i.e. destroying us, our reputations or somehow controlling our stories, it is futile. They must increase in grandiosity or in sociopathy in order to have any chance of a win, in their own heads or even their lives. That is why narcissists become worse as they age, in their psychopathology. They fall farther and farther behind. Because any legitimate means of succeeding becomes more difficult, for a variety of reasons both internal and external. (Think Richard Nixon here.) Actually, if my sister were not so mean, I would feel sorry for her. I have trouble feeling sorry for an almost elderly woman looking up and down at a male's body, in a laughable attempt to make him sweat, feel inferior and accept her dominance and the superiority of her position relative to him and I. M says it all directed at me, not him. I am horrified that a person who is even remotely related to me in life, would conduct herself in this way. COPA [/QUOTE]
