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 👍
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.
Copy that :)
Take care of yourself. 🌻
In some cases it's better to be firm and establish boundaries. Though those types will often react poorly, it's necessary, especially when their peers are enabling them or contributing to their downward spiral and eventual self-destruction, which is behavior commonly seen in cults, gangs, and prisons.
Yep. You're correct. Of course.
Sometimes it is necessary to fight the good fight and we shouldn't avoid it because of fear or the takers win and all is lost.
There are some nasty pieces of work walking this earth. Still makes me sad to run into them.
Which means I'm not as jaded as I thought. :)
Don't let the bastards get you down. 👍
They don't get me down. I see it more as an opportunity. Can point in one direction, have them focus on that, while I'm doing something else.
You were approached by one, by the way. Low rep account handing out, reading material. Awkward and antisocial.
Since it's an ongoing situation that's the best approach, I think. To trying to institute change, that is.
Oh? Do tell :) (know you can't)
I've had a trolly troll on here. I take it as it comes. People come and people go. Some stay. Some fall off. And so do I. They don't scare me or even bother me much these days and if the connection isn't a constructive, joyful exchange I allow it to wither or simply move on.
Some are worth fighting. Some are better ignored and abandoned. I guess it all depends on how much energy I have for the good fight (not much left these days after government f*cked me up) and how much valuable time is worth investing in other people's bullshit (not much left after... well... you get it)
