i never got any coldness vibe from damaris either. what little i saw of them together looked like a solid friendship, and based on his demeanor, it looked like he was really comfortable around her. and she seemed to have a lot of respect for him, like yeah, he is my friend, but i still know its prince, y'all. and being so young, i do think she realized she was in the presence of a talent giant.

it has been said that he wasn't super close with his blood family. if there was something seriously wrong with him, i hope he had good friends that he could talk to about what was happening to him.


Sorry, I should clarify that I went on a bit defending Damaris, because I had read comments on youtube -Full of nasty female bitching about her being this and that, and it annoyed me, because I thought she seemed alright.no one on the org I think had this bitchy attitude, however. Just wanted to clear that up. ...don't like cheap cattiness.

As far as Prince not being close to his family... i thi k that part of the thing for me with Prince is that I feel like I "get" his basic personality type. That I am slightly similar to him and have known people who are similar to him. Highly sensitive types, who nonetheless can suffer from a certain self absorbed tunnel vision (sort of like over grown children, with all the beauty and difficulty that can come with that)... But, I have difficulties with my own family. We have too many similar traits. I think that sensitive tenperaments have certain battles they can't escape, except with a lot of effort.
But, I think I intuitively "get" his potential struggles with family. I could be completely wrong, however. Just that, I have been dealing with issues to do with high sensitivity/aspergers/narcissism and general conflict with family members ...and I can't help but wonder if something within the same ball park effected him and many others In the world with the same general personality type and challenges/gifts that go with this.

I think Prince was a gifted type, who had a tendency towards narcissism/aspergers.



oh, no worries, i visit multiple sites and know that most of the insults towards prince and his friends come from elsewhere.

i also "get" prince's personality to some degree...of all the people i know, i am the most tolerant/desirous of alone time and i can understand that while many of us might think he was lonely, he was fulfilled by his gift in ways that many will never understand unless they also feel it.

in the rs interview 2014 he said "i AM music." that takes it to a whole other level imo and makes clear that he did not experience life and relationships the way that many others do.
"If u love somebody, your life won't be in vain
And there's always a rainbow, at the end of every rain."--peace and love, dear prince.....

Hello all you lovely ones, I have nothing (neg) to say about Damaris.... P, seems to really care for her

and respect her.... and i'm very glad for that...... however me myself I don't really feel her

when she speaks on P, I don't feel that real emotion ........

but some people are stronger then others and (can hide emotions) I listen to what she has to say and seems cool.

I just don't get that since of depth nor the since of deep grieving, it just seems like a bunch of TV appearance and interviews, in the event of things taken place.

However I could be so wrong ....... but it could also be she was a real down to earth person around P and positive ..... and he liked ( that for what it was) also she seems to be very intelligent and in to charitable events and positive life style

but the dept seems lacking

however I could be truly wrong

I am just not interested in what any of Prince's temporary skeezers who knew him for 15 minutes have to say now.

I am interested I knowing if Prince had a girlfriend in those last years. Who is "Jeanette"? Was there anyone?
I also want to know if he truly did have any very close friends with whom he could totally let go.
I want to know about these things because I keep feeling bad thinking he might have been lonely for ancertaon kind of mature companionship. I kept wording to myself inside myself during the first week of his passing, "Yes, but was anyone there for you?"
People including his friends have their own lives so no one should feel guilty, and he would have to reach out if he wanted people around sometimes. If he was lonely, maybe it's because he didn't want people too close in these last months. I know he didn't complain. Maybe he kept everyone at arms length.
I really don't know. That's the truth. I guess I'm just sad like everyone else.

You got that right! No depth at all for somebody that been around him as much as she was and been all over the world in his entourage for 2-3 years isn't it!!!

they met in 2010. she went on tour with him, traveled with him. went to events with him. called him up pranking him. to call her or any of his lady friends names and try to diminsh their standing in his life and his in theirs is very disrespectful. They've all been nothing less than respectful in their words and actions towards him. god bless them.

This!

I don't think that Damaris was as close with Prince in the way she makes it out to be. This is all for show. She is all about gaining attention and fame. There have been other associates that I felt were closer with Prince & you could tell by their words. The ones that ARENT doing interviews are the ones I'm paying attention to.

Perhaps I should not have ...however, I got a nice sense of I suppose closure (about as much as you can expect to get weeks after losing today's Mozart )
sad sad ... After watching an on line "psychic channelling" video.

It said generic all-is-well type of stuff and could very well ave been utter bull shit. But I got comfort from it.

Don't ask me for a link, or I will be in trouble I think.

It did say that he was speechless upon understanding just how much he had affected people and that a purpose of his was to encourage introverted people and for people to live their truth.

Anyhow, could be bull shit.

I'm not good with this death thing...

My instinct is that she was guarded in what information she gave out, in an effort to respect his privacy. Perhaps you picked up on caginess in her and interpret it as coldness. Or, I could be wrong... But I think she wanted very much to not say some things and to put things a certain way.

Hello lovely , I don't see some the comments as criticisms it's just people take on what they feel see or gather from Ms. Demaris or any other etc.... in life

not everyone is going to feel.... all great about every person they see meet etc........... but

I don't see it all as i neg maybe it could be used as constructive..

I like and love lots the woman Prince has been around or cheered on and support as artist or whatever category however there are rhose that may not appeal aswell.

but these are just my thoughts just cause someone doesn't take to someone, doesn't mean that their neg...

or criticizing.

Blessings

^they are worse than criticisms. they're insults. poster above called her and others skeezers and other posters agreed. everyone grieves differently, so to expect everyone to come out blubbering in interviews and set that as the standard for who did and didn't care or who was close and who wasn't to Prince is pathetic.

I wouldn't pay much mind to that. As Prince himself said in some interview.. 'I don't really care so much what people say about me because it usually is a reflection of who they are.'

.

Same principle applies to commentors on the org. What they say is often time (not always but often times) more a reflection of who they are than of the person they're critiquing.

Change it one more time..

Hello, Lovelyones .... I would just say to each their own.... some will like red, yellow blue and green and some will like purple pink, and black....

so again my thoughts people are .... different and all opinons matter cause everyone has them....

people don't always agree ....

sister and brother, mother and father boss and employee ....may not agree but doesn't mean cause they don't see eye to eye .... or like the same things

or even disagree that everything is a negative a (minus)

we can all be ( more understanding to just understand.... others have view points and it may not be yours or mines.

I loved when Tamar was around and lots Poeple didn't like her .... i said oh well.... thats their feel and let that be cause she was good seem to have a positive effect on P.

just my thoughts Blessings

I agree with this.

When it comes to death people react differently and are SEEN to react differently. -the last bit, I think is really important, since a person may be hiding a lot of feelings or even have temporarily cut off from their feelings because they just cannot process what has happened.

I just don't think that it's fair to be harsh on anyone reacting to the death of someone they knew.

true,everyone shows feelings differently. she may be someone who falls apart in private, or maybe she internalizes it all. i have known people whom i have never seen cry. but i know how much they hurt at times.
