Albert J. Bernstein Quotes

Don't Let A Narcissist, Or Any Other Kind Of Vampire, Get Away With Nonverbal Disapproval. Unspoken Communication Has Much More Power Than Mere Words Because It Is Ambiguous. If A Narcissist Says You Did Something Wrong, You Can At Least Disagree. If He Only Hints At It, You Are Left Wondering If What You're Seeing Really Means What You Think It Does, Or If The Whole Thing Is Somehow Your Fault, Or Whatever Else You Might Be Imagining. ... Translate Rather Than Pointing The Finger. This Is The Tricky Part Because It Is Subtle, But It Will Make All The Difference. An Unsubstantiated Accusation Of An Internal State, Like, "You're Bored," Invites Defensiveness. A Translation, Like, "You Keep Looking At The Clock; I'm Assuming You're Bored," Is Much Harder To Deny. A Histrionic Might Try, But Other Kinds Of Vampires Will Have To Concede That They Are Indeed Looking At The Clock.
