DSM IV...

yep, a conversation with Chris and a subsequent armchair 'diagnosis' of him by my therapist means that it would be wise for me to review the DSM IV before my date in Wednesday...

and what for you might be asking? and that would be an excellent question!!
well, seems in the past I have been attracted to emotionally unavailable men....or that's what I thought...but on closer inspection actually i think that the more likely reality is that mostly they seem to be quite selfish and really only interested in their own wellbeing...

not good!! scary too that when I think about it really, seems that for some of them, and in particular Chris ("it's not all about you you know" and I'll ask you to do something for me but don't be thinking I'll do anything for you)...narcissistic seems like an appropriate label (even as I type that a part if me in cringing as you know I prefer not to use the label)...

so I'm gonna be well familiar with the DSM IV definition before Wed night...

no more self centered, emotionally unavailable narcissists for me...

nope, I am DONE with that pattern!!
