Liam Payne was very kind to me and I owe him this in speaking out about the all-encompassing, overwhelming pain he was feeling before his passing. Maybe I’m the only one who can speak against the narcissism because I’ve experienced it and watched it happen as a cultural state for a long time. I’ve written a great deal about it, but I never expected it to happen to such a beautiful young soul and for Liam to be vulnerable to getting hurt so badly.
Fame, money, and power have seemingly become what is most important in our lives and economy, and not for the better.
We have one man down. It's not okay.
We have okayed narcissistic abuse to insidiously call itself "speaking out" or female empowerment when it is gauged to gain fame and power and cause pain, giving it the power over someone to inflict that pain.
The pain caused to Liam Payne was extreme, even if you can't see it or care because you've never experienced betrayal and threat.
I lived through it with what happened to John Mayer and so few cared and slung more hate with the abuse. Humanity shockingly turned into a mass mob of hate.
What is happening to the person who made themselves vulnerable is that then that vulnerability was being exploited for power, publicity, and fame. It hurts like hell.
The biggest red flag of narcissistic abuse is just that: the willingness of a person to exploit another human being.
The person experiencing that abuse is experiencing the worst kind of pain: betrayal by someone they gave their trust. That person takes control over someone's expression and life. Can you imagine someone filled with hate taking that from you?
There is the question of whether they have the right to speak out or "female empowerment" over another human by that exploitation. Do they they have another path to fame, or is this their one shot? Is making another person a "loser" so that the abuser can be the "winner" healthy female empowerment? Absolutely not. Causing pain and exploitation is not empowerment.
In this exploitation of another human being what HASN'T happened is any kind of bond of love. Liam was trying hard to call on that love. It wasn’t there.
Love doesn't mean silence.
It means caring.
