THE FUSE

Coming to grips with your own limitations is never very pleasant. However, some people are able to bounce back without too much difficulty. You’ve undoubtedly had the experience of not getting the promotion or raise you desire, not being invited to a friend’s birthday party, or just being ignored instead of complimented for your new outfit. With disappointment comes rationalization. Everyone can think of reasons other than to attribute the outcome to their own failings, but eventually, most people face the hard truth. Not so for a narcissist, though.
