My therapist was talking to me.
She suggested the idea of narcissism.
Narcissism.
I know that doesn't mean egotistical.
I know that doesn't mean I'm a terrible person.
But isn't that me?
It's my entire personality, isn't it?
I am the one who has caused myself pain.
I am the one who cares about myself,
And I guess no one else does,
Or maybe,
I don't let them.
It hurts,
And I don't know how to change.
