#Blackandwhitethinking is hard to overcome but it can be done. The first step is #learning to recognize it for it is as well as to accept that our #limitations aren't what define us. Not everyone hates you. Why is that? They know a different version of you. First #recognizing our #patterns we can then see ourselves from different angles, too. We can then try to treat ourselves like a #friend would even if we feel we don't deserve it because we're observing from an outside #perspective.

PSA: When people say "do your best" or "it's ok as long as you do the best you can", they don't literally mean "try your absolute hardest and do the best you can possibly do".

They usually just mean "try, it doesn't matter if you fail".

#NarcissistDictionary: "I'm sorry you feel that way" is #NPD/ #BPD/ #HPD for "F--k your feelings."

Typically, a #narcissist, #borderline or #histrionic doesn't feel remorse or regret for the hurt, pain and destruction they perpetrate on their victims. Their inability to take #responsibility for their actions, lack of #empathy and a #conscience and tendency of #splitting, #BlackAndWhiteThinking and #EmotionalReasoning make it virtually impossible.

The only time these individuals feel #sorry is when they feel sorry for themselves. For example, when they finally experience a consequence for their #antisocial behavior. Or, they don't get whatever it is they've been lying, scheming, manipulating and bullying to obtain.

Saying "I'm sorry you feel that way" isn't an #apology. It's an abdication of responsibility. Basically, the message is, "Your feelings are your problem, not mine." If the NPD/BPD/HPD smirks while saying it, they're most definitely not sorry. They gloating and delighting in having inflicted pain upon you.

*Please note, while I don't know it for a fact #AmberHeardIsALiar said "I'm sorry you feel that way" to #JohnnyDeppWon, I just know that it's true (to paraphrase a running Bill Maher segment).

I chose one of #AmberHeard's many #smirk photos because her smirks are the smirkiest smirks. The arrogance, contempt and disdain oozes from the corners of her mouth. In addition to being a #PathologicalLiar, #FalseAccuser and perpetrator of #DomesticViolence, she's now officially a #deadbeat. Apparently, she's hiding out in Europe claiming to be a homeless person. Her argument being, the Virginia court can't collect a judgment from her is she is stateless. In other words, DEADBEAT.
