“I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone.
Every day, older patients call us confused.
They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link.
Some of them do not know what a portal is.
Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.
He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.
He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.
But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.
Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.
Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.

NEW from @MSNOWNews w/@VaughnHillyard Bill Pulte has started firing dozens of intel staffers who Trump admin officials "believe are deep state.” Former intel officials called the "deep state" claim "absurd." Democrats fear Pulte will spread conspiracy theories to bolster Trump's call for a federal takeover of elections. https://t.co/YQX8t802fu

When you provide evidence that the narcissist had been lying about you and was actually the abusive one themselves and there are people who still choose to ignore the evidence and act like you’re the bad guy, they know you’re not the bad guy. They just want you to look like the bad guy. Those are flying monkeys or narcissists themselves.
It’s hard to believe, but for a malignant narcissist, the ultimate “win” is seeing a victim pushed to the point of suicide. It’s not just about control—it’s about total domination over someone else’s reality. They get a perverse thrill from knowing they’ve broken a person so completely that they’ve erased their sense of self.
It’s also about the story they get to tell afterward. If the victim dies by suicide, the narcissist can spin it as proof that the victim was “troubled”, “crazy,” and that they “did everything they could”, cementing themselves as untouchable while erasing the victim’s voice entirely. For them, it’s the ultimate confirmation that they can manipulate, destroy, and rewrite reality to suit their narrative.
It’s horrifying, but this is why protecting mental health and raising awareness about these people isn’t just important—it’s a matter of humanity and survival.
Instead of telling people that they shouldn't feel a certain way, try understanding why they feel that way. Don't invalidate how they feel because you don't understand it. You can learn so much about other people, and inspire compassion and empathy, if your willing to listen.
