They don't really see you...

There's a song by Suzanne Vega called "Toms' Diner" with a verse that goes:

When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head
There's a woman
On the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection

This sums up narcissism in a nutshell.  When they look at us, they are really only seeing their own reflection.  Remember that the next time they treat you badly.  They don't really see you.   All they see is themselves.  Just like the original tale of Narcissus.
