If you have a favorite counter-narcissist song that has helped you, please share with us below to help others. If it fits the CNI theme, it will be added to our list. Mostly we want fun, inspiring &/or therapeutic.
If CNI had a theme, this Ruelle song would be a top candidate.
You got a cold, cold heart. Do you feel at all? You build a house of cards. But it's gonna fall.
You think I don't see who you really are. I've got news coming. I've seen it all from the start.
I know all your secrets. I know all your lies. I know where you keep em. Buried deep inside.
No you can’t hide. Your secrets & lies.
The classic. Carly Simon warned us long ago.
The modern. Olivia Rodrigo is warning people today. This was the first time I remember hearing “sociopath” in a song. Her latest is called “Vampire” & despite the video’s theme, the lyrics are about a psychic vampire. If you don’t know her, think Jessica Alba, Katy Perry & Wednesday Addams combo. She actually seems to be quite a good & popular role model for teen girls & embraces her young leader role.
Excellent addition suggested by Susan Luna. You know the lyrics will be great when it’s Bob Dylan.
Icymi in the “About” page, here is a Canadian classic power-rock song about CNI’s “good fight” mission.
“Blondie's ‘One Way Or Another’ is about an incident where she was stalked.” It is on the darker side but great example of the compulsive mind of a narcissist stalker, & how that hectic, harried feel is the norm.
“Don’t give up and use the chance to return to innocence,” is certainly a message CNI endorses. Thanks to Mitch Moncrief for the suggestion. Never thought of this song from a psychological angle before.

You're doing fine. Substack is very low key in comparison. I'm fairly new and a twitter refugee as well. There are certainly trolls here too but at least they can read usually. I blocked one today I'm not so sure about. Welcome.
I suggest “Positively 4th Street” by Bob Dylan
Very nice Susan. I wasn't thinking about adding to the post but why not.
Carly Simon as well.
Your so vain gets my vote.
Not a competition but if you said I only get to keep one, same.
Leonard Cohen:The Future
It's groovy enough. I'll have to check out the lyrics. I heard a term that would offend many.
Thank you so much! You are the best.
Thank you, I appreciate your kindness.
No problem. We are here to help nice people.
I am new here, I like your post, forgive my awkwardness. I am withdrawing from twitter.
