I could still say a lot more. Don't mind those little hidden jabs in the new posts... lol

:D

As you said. If it stings there something to have a look at.

I'm too old and too experienced now to take things personally. And I know myself so... nope. I'm okay. Thanks. πŸ‘

I've had my intentions checked by an expert. And fixed what needed fixing a while back. The big stuff anyway.

If I'm triggered I now take it as an opportunity to discover more, learn and progress. It's more beneficial I think? As you say in your post.

Our reactions and judgments are usually also more about ourselves than external anything. Since "reality" is really only personal perception.

I guess that's a part of the human experience if you wanna get all existential about things. But it is what it is.

If you know your shadow self and have accepted it not much can rattle you anymore, either, and I've been handed that understanding. Not fun. But it is beneficial in many ways.

Share away! The world needs more open conversation. Especially now. πŸ‘

It's a good fight. Important. As long as the motivation is sound. πŸ‘ Then nobody sharing anything ever has to be concerned about anything really.

Truth. Always. Even if it changes as we learn πŸ’₯

Being honest is easy. They're just incredibly fragile simpletons, and they fucked with the wrong guy. It'll haunt them now for the rest of the their lives. Plenty of people know they fucked up and how they act. Been watching and gathering for months. Hands down dumbest criminal you'd ever see.

I have no idea what's going on. As usual.

I've enough shit to try and figure out so try to keep my head down. Though you prolly wouldn't say, huh? :D

Just look after yourself and don't waste energy on nonsense would be my suggestion after almost killing myself wasting time on other people's stuff.

Really. People can be nutty. Back away slowly is a first point of call πŸ‘

Surround yourself with the ones who are kind and decent.

And trust no-one completley because... well... see second point above. Of course :/

Many people behave badly under pressure. It is what it is. And times are pressured. No excuses. Just as it is.

Not my first rodeo. It's just someone with a severe case of NPD, to the point where it becomes comical. Pathological lair. Easily provable integrity issues all locked into blockchains which can be used as evidence. Beyond help. I'd tried to help initially and because of his mental state, he converted that into me being evil, and from there just kept spiraling down, digging his hole, taking shots at the crowd while feeling on top of the world. Textbook case. Never wise to let those types get to you. I'll hand those types the shovel and watch them bury themselves with no fucks given. In general, they don't know how to stop themselves anyway. That's why so many end up in jail and like the post says, still can't figure it out.

Ah...

People with traits that lean towards the sociopathic side are difficult to engage with

They say the best way forward is no contact. Always. They can become quite dangerous if they're provoked btw

Because they don't have empathy like most people and can go to extremes

I try and avoid contact with them if I spot one these days. If they try to cause trouble I just tell myself not to poke the bear and walk away

Really. It's not worth it in my experience (and I have some with this stuff)

You can't "win" because, if you're a decent human being, you won't play the game like they do. See? And if you try to it will make you sick because it's not in your nature to lie and manipulate and take.

Walk on, my friend. And be patient. If you don't react (which is how they get their kibbles because they enjoy acrimony and it invigorates them) they'll find another target

And they'll reveal themselves over time if you stay calm and don't react btw. But if you fight them they'll only turn it around and make it look as though you're the sick malevolent one.

And they're very, very convincing

No contact for your own health πŸ‘

LoL. Again. This isn't my first rodeo. It's not a challenge for me. I can see you're trying to be helpful and I appreciate that. I know the playbook. I'll leave it at that.
