The "Me Monster" in your life

Ok... You know we all have them.  Definition of a me monster " A person who constantly thinks of people as "objects that can benefit them"; a person can not empathize or care for another person (they can certainly pretend to if they feel it will give them personal gain) ; One who always has "ME ME ME" on the brain.
Question #1)  How is a "Me Monster" created

Answer-- A pinch of nature... but the main ingredient is a life of "not ever lifting a finger".  Similar be raised by a pack of wolves.... this monster has been abused by a parent (or both) that did what I call "silent co-dependent child abuse" .  This is defined by a parent who wants nothing more than to feel "needed" therefore crippling their child and never teaching them how to be independent.  These Parents also tend to have the "could do nothing wrong enabler habit".

Question #2) How to identify a "Me Monster"

Answer-- They are terrible listeners (example -- phone conversation when you ask "what should I do" and they say "yeaaahh"... because they are playing fantasy football at work .... and everyone knows... that certainly takes precedence over any personal crisis you might have. They throw "fits" like 8 yr olds would when they have to put in a little hard work.  They get defensive about everything because they are incapable of caring about others feelings.

Question #3) What happens when you invite a "Me Monster" into your home?

Answer-- Well ....ughhh... very similar to a vampire, they suck the life out of you... drive a train through your life... and pretty soon --- it is YOU who is now a zombie and unrecognizable...

Question #4)  How to get rid of the "Me Monster in your life"

Answer-- Gather a group of friends to give you multiple shots of whiskey... have them smack you in the face ... and say "Where did you go"?  "Are you still in there somewhere"... This will give you the strength and adrenaline to lift a car!  (but you don't have to do that) What you have to do is... promptly collect all belongings... kindly move them back to the "Me Monsters" creator's home. (While they are away at work) ..Change the locks at home and stay at a friends. Leave a note on the belongings... "Sold the house... moved to Wabush to live with penguins... and make ice sculptures.  Thought you would be happier here so you can have those "perfect lunches" and "no bills to pay" anymore.... PEACE!
