Not as gruesome, but the ending puts me in mind of the Chicks' "Goodbye Earl." I'm sorry this guy was so shitty to you. I like your chums.

Dang! I am a quarter century late to the Goodbye, Earl party! I didn’t listen to much, by which I mean any, music after I started working in the concert hall, so I’ve missed a lot of popular culture.

I think what we are learning these days is that really shitty people don’t always present like the obviously terrible Earl. When you are experiencing massive gaslighting, the cognitive dissonance clouds our judgment, makes us stop trusting our instinct. Lessons learned and all that.

Them Narcissists are everywhere.

So many, everywhere. Sometimes I wonder if consumer or western culture doesn’t just encourage, but necessitates narcissism. These are wild times.
