I was reminded of what G-Dragon told that fanboy in this interview 🥹🤍
“You have to move beyond copying.”
🧑🏻: I started making music because of you, GD. If you could give one piece of advice to younger musicians, what would it be?
🐉: First of all, I’m really grateful that you see me as someone to look up to. But if I were to speak from my own experience, I was the same��I had idols too.
I think it’s great to have people you admire. But it’s really important to choose your role models carefully. That’s the key.
🧑🏻: I think I chose well.
🐉: So far, you did. But that doesn’t mean I’m the answer.

The narcissist’s favorite gaslighting abuse tactic is to set you up to be angry and then shame you for that anger. It’s practically a form of entertainment for them.
