I disagree. You returned again and again to meet that woman. So women have been integral to your visits.

Why does it matter to you what I think?

Again you think you can think what's in another's mind. You can't so stop acting like a fool. I returned to see her because I met her while visiting Thailand, and she worked in the hotel. Pretty simple and it's happened millions of times. People do return to pretty women every day for centuries. Why are you making more out of this than a normal person would? If you want a question answered, act like a normal adult and accept the answer. if you disagree, let it go as you again, weren't there.

Note to members still here...you guys should be happy that I've exposed someone apparently even more delusional than the OP 😊

@fredwiggy THIS is the part that you aren't getting. I don't need to let anything go. They are my thoughts. My beliefs. Your problem is that you want to force people to believe what you say. I don't. You'll just have to live with that.

There is absolutely no problem in your returning to meet the women. The problem is in your pretending that was not a part of the reason for your visiting in the first place.

Where am I forcing anything on anyone? I'm telling the truth. You being a person with NPD. constantly assume about others, not only me but various people here using all your other multiple personalities, then deflect the truth to fit your narrative. You can't see that I'm just defending my position against an abnormal person who yes, can't let things go and admit he's been wrong all along, in every topic he's entered. You haven't the sense to see you've been busted all along, that this is only to point you out, and that every time you come back it further helps my agenda.

You lie by omission.

What you think of me has no effect on my life at all. I don't feel the need to defend anything. Why do you?

Here, I'll let the internet explain your insanity..............Psychological factors contribute to the phenomenon of trolling, including the disinhibition effect, which allows individuals to act boldly online due to perceived anonymity. Trolls often exhibit low empathy levels and may derive pleasure from causing pain to others. The rise of trolling has been amplified by technological developments and the increasing use of social media, with notable instances of state-sponsored trolling also coming to light. Understanding the motivations behind trolling—ranging from boredom to a desire for attention—can offer insights into combating this pervasive issue within online interactions.

Internet troll

An Internet troll is a person who intentionally upsets others in social media forums. The troll’s actions, called trolling, are generally understood to be undertaken to cause consternation. Many post inflammatory or malicious comments on social media as a means of gaining attention and generating comments..Psychologists say Internet trolls exist and thrive because of the disinhibition effect. This means they are made bolder by the anonymity of online interaction. While they might not say or do something in a face-to-face encounter, they do not feel inhibited online. This may manifest as toxic disinhibition, in which they are rude, critical, angry, and sometimes threatening, or as benign disinhibition, which involves sharing personal information, including secret fears, or being unusually generous.

Several factors contribute to this disinhibition. These include anonymity, invisibility, asynchronicity, solipsistic introjection, dissociative imagination, and minimizing authority.

Anonymity means individuals can hide behind fake names and images. Even if they use their real identity, strangers online only know what they reveal. When individuals can separate their actions from their real-world selves and identities, they lose inhibitions. They may feel less vulnerable about sharing, or feel free to act in any way they wish, because these acts cannot be connected to their physical lives. When they act in socially unacceptable ways, for example being aggressive or hostile, they can tell themselves that this is behavior is not really them. This is called dissociation.

Invisibility allows people to drift through chat threads, message boards, and other online platforms without anyone knowing they are there, aside from a few experts such as webmasters who may be watching traffic. They can post messages or send emails while remaining physically invisible. This invisibility can embolden people.............................Explains a little why you change usernames so much, and think others can't see this. Very disturbed actions, and sadly, no cures available.

My cousin has written a book on the subject.

But why are you upset discussing what is true?

My initial question was simply to address whether you considered your own faults before labelling your ex partners. You've been irate ever since.

Actually, no one likes when someone lies, deflects and twists things around when a person tells their stories. Of course it has no effect on you. You have no conscience, and live a life exactly like you were taught. You're a cowardly little worm who hides in anonymity, never acting this way in public because no one would tolerate it. You actually think you're above people here. People who have wives and children and who treat them well. If this is the way you act towards those close to you, I really feel sorry for them as it's abnormal behavior and there isn't a cure for what you have besides disappearing from their lives.

I'm not irate.I enjoy pointing out your kind to others who might be unaware how your kind operates.I've done that enough here, so I'm done. Stay away from my replies to others, unless you want to deepen your hole. Answering a troll gets the results I and others have from you. You aren't worth more than the laughter it creates. And I'm thinking your cousin used you as a guinea pig in his book.

So those hundreds of words of abuse are just what you post when you are not irate?

Again, I pity those close to you.

She's a girl. So your thinking is obviously not up to scratch. Would you like a copy?

I've probably read more about your kind than she has. Seeing she has a narc for a cousin, that's pretty hilarious. That's why I'm thinking she modeled her book after your lifestyle.

We haven't met, so that would be difficult. I see you get enormous pleasure from your imagined scenarios. You like fantasy, don't you? Reality is a bit too hard to swallow for you..

So interesting that you have devoted quite so much time in reading and determining that your ex is a narcissist and that there are narcissists lurking everywhere around you 😊

It isn't abuse pointing out your kind to others. It's a necessary thing, to expose you to those who aren't quite aware how you work. Those hundreds of words are now in the minds of those who read them. Now they can spot you as soon as you start.

Those close to me are doing very well, mostly because of my actions and teachings. This fact you seem to be missing. I actually have children who are doing well, and guess who had custody of them? Funny that narcissists come from being taught as children, and my children are all loving, caring, respectful, faithful, animal loving, elder and law abiding adults, as my little one will also be soon enough.Guess your deflecting doesn't take that into consideration. I've actually put 5 children into this world as those respectful adults. What have you done positive in this world?

Yep, she probably drew her inspiration for the book from observing his behavior.

The mods should award anyone who has read this thread an honorary degree in psychology with a specialization in narcissism.

Again, I tell things exactly as they are. That you can't understand this is from jealousy and that twisted mind you've developed. I actually try to help others who act a little like you, but the ones that have this deep rooted will never be right. There isn't any help, as you'll never be more than what they created you to be.

Perfect! Tell us how you did it 😊

Just now, IsmeUno said:

Yes, in this world, people like you have ruined things for millions, and have to be nipped in the bud as soon as possible. Putins, Trumps, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim, Hussein, and all the others who have hurt and ruined lives start out exactly like you. You have no power, so the only ones you can hurt are the innocents close to you. Those you can control with your actions and words. When your kind is exposed, as they are more and more each day, the rest of us have much more rewarding lives.

I refer them to a professional, who can prescribe possible medicines, and talk therapy, to let them know it wasn't their fault their parents failed them, abused them, neglected them or spoiled them in lieu of actual on time care. They have an ear to talk to, so I can tell them much the same thing that professional does, because a friend that listens is a gift. The pro is unbiased, and the friend is more personal, so they get the best of both.

Remember I said a "little" like you, as some who aren't that far gone have a chance to change. Those who have been exposed to many years of both abuse and neglect are extremely hard to change, as what they saw has become their own habits, and it continues on down to their children, if they have any.

You mean your depressed offspring?

Okay, let's take you at your word, that you are a caring, sharing and understanding kind of guy... so why are you abusing me instead of listening and being a friend? 😊

Where are my depressed offspring? They're family husband and wives. Working, some with children of their own. Homeowners, happy in their lives with many friends and hobbies. 6 grandchildren to be exact they have. Ask yourself why you keep assuming things about me and twisting what I say around. I've given you and those others a chance to come clean and be decent members here. You are responsible for what you say here. I'm civil to anyone civil to me, and help anyone I can with what I know about certain things. Pretty simple.

The depressed offspring about which you told us.

You didn't tackle the question of why you are abusing me, if you think that I don't have any control over my 'condition' due to the "abuse I received as a child".

Why would your abuse be "necessary" under those circumstances? Could it just be that you were out of control? There are at least one hundred examples. Can you extrapolate on the necessity of such behaviour? Who did it help?

Again defending myself against your assumptions and turning around of the truth isn't abuse. Pointing out why you're doing this is obvious, as I've encountered many who've acted like you in my life. The only one that had me fooled, at least for awhile because I wasn't here full time until I moved here, was my ex.

Everyone as an adult has control of how they act towards others,. but not caring is the reason so many continue this behavior.

Okay...but i don't want to stray too far away from the point that I was making.

Let's pretend that I am not referring to you at all and we were sitting together as friends, talking about someone who isn't able to see when they are wrong in any discussion.

How it would feel to live in a household like that. Forget about the suggestion that you were that person. Imagine you had to live with such a person. How would you feel? Would you feel that person wasn't listening, even though they claim to be a great listener?

I just ate with him and Phuket girl.

Will update later
