It took years before I realized, It's me!
I thought everyone could smell what I could smell; I never understood why others would say, "No, I don't smell anything." But I never thought that the reason was simply, I can smell things they can't. I can only describe it as an ability to smell 'chemicals.'
One example is I smelled a strong odor of natural gas outside a friend's house. I walked around to make sure it was originating from near the house.
The smell was so strong to me, I didn't stay. But I was the only one that smelled the odor.
They called the gas company as I begged them to. The company used their equipment and found a leak. They dug up the front yard.
My point is that someone may be color blind, and not know it. If you try to convince them about a color that they are blind about, you'll fail.
Everyone can't smell Trump's stench.
Everyone can't see bullshit or scams.
Everyone can't detect narcissism.
I believe some detection skills
can be taught, but they
aren't being taught. K-12 doesn't really teach you much about real life; and neither do most parents, hence: our current situation.
P.S.
I don't think narcissist feel much of anything outside of anger and pride. I don't think they feel fear, similar to the honey badger.
But they do fake feelings, as a tactic. Very few are good at it, but still, most go undetected by the masses.
You have to prove the crime, Trump has committed hundreds of crimes little and large one but he knows how not to get caught.
No emails to speak of, always in person meetings, no logs. You think he is just playing golf at his clubs? This is all just to be away from any official scrutiny, cameras and records. He is still at liberty because he learned from the likes of his mentor Roy Cohn (who went from prosecutor to mob lawyer) and Rudy of course.
So I and others look at the big picture and we feel very confident this accusation is probably based in reality. That's enough to find him despicable.
I am very tall, I have a very tall daughter and from when she was 11 to 12 I have seen how certain narcissists think its a funny game to try and get past dad. I have heard the whole defending the guy "but nobody would be so bold with you around" ? etc. many times. It's like narcissists have evolved to be kind of invisible to most. Bullshit and lies, always trust your gut with them, these guys may feel fear but they don't have much of a sense of immediate danger.
All the political stuff is padding, it is Trump and what he is we recognise as an opportunistic hyena.
