in a conversation with someone about my sd, i came up with a perfect analogy for her. this person was telling me i need to completely ignore sd, because even negative attention is attention and she feeds off of it.

"i definitely don't care. i stopped caring a long time ago. now i'm just annoyed at her antics to make sure i'm reminded of her existence, as if i need a reminder. i'm working really hard on accepting something that is unacceptable to me. she is a rotten person and that is all there is to it. i'm tired of trying to figure out why. she is what she is and rather than try to make her see it, i need to just accept it and stay away. like a dog that bites. leave it alone, ignore it, stay away from it. don't try to be nice and pet it. it doesn't care that you are being nice, it will still bite. any attention at all leads to being bit. even if it nicely eats something out of your hand, as soon as the "gift" is gone, it will bite you again."

that is a damn good analogy for sd!
