Pareidolia

Hello I have arrived so the games can begin.... I had a feeling I was being talked about, but then the most interesting people are.

And yes @Hebi I referenced that post because when a person names his post "So You Think You're a Narcissist? The Normies Guide to NPD" and then go into great depth about what it is you are essentially inviting people to come to a greater understanding of whether the information applies to themselves or is relevant for their life (self-diagnose?) .... as what most guide are essentially for. It is rather like streaming porn on the LED screen at work and then telling everyone not to watch or get turned on because it is inappropriate....

... and to be completely accurate @Hebi which I realize is difficult for you as the nuance of complex explanations is lost on you given your propensity for confirmation bias is so great.... what I was saying was not that I flippantly diagnose persons with a PD but given I am a Registered Nurse, I ( like other HCP) go to the DSM-V, review the criteria as it relates and assess whether there are any traits that apply... what I clearly stated was that I strive as much as possible NOT to label or diagnose but to indicate whether I see "traits".... but of course you made a huge leap to confirm your assessment or negative perspective of me... and then disseminate that misinformation in a different forum to all and sundry.

... be that as it may I would happily F#$% @Midwinter given have the chance and I suspect it would be a rocking wild ride.... for I do so love to play with danger as you well know @Hebi... toxic relationships are my specialty.

What about it @Midwinter? Let's turn that winter in to a sweaty hot summer, k?

I don't know about others but this whole situation's just amusing to me (even though mods will probably react at one point and clean all this up).

I too was at first triggered by this histrionic side of yours, it's just too much and all at once lol, I can relate more to your "other side", the one that showed in few other threads around here where you talked more about yourself, and in a more serious manner. I wonder which one's more the "real" you, as this playful one seems to me a bit forced, like playing a role. How wrong or right am I here?

I am both in equal measure and more. In fact I am a complex multifaceted creature; mother, nurse, pwBPD, dancer, whore... I have many, many aspects and can't be pinned down to one.... it's what makes me so interesting and so much fun.

But I realize that I am a very vibrant, over-the-top and intense person, and not everyone can handle that.... but that's not my problem, I am just a very open and dramatic persona and strive to be true to all the various aspects of myself, as dichotomous as they may be....

Fair enough. I asked out of curiousity, not judgement.

Honestly, I feel like I’ve been waiting to be put in time out lol

Ok, ok. I swear, I’m not intentionally trying to antagonize you, currently.. I can admit, I can be a total sarcastic jerk sometimes, but I have legitimately tried to relate to you in past posts. If we could take just a moment to be honest in this therapeutic setting, I just can’t help but be offended by you. You say some really excessively mean $#%^.

It just makes me feel like how mom used to make me feel about myself

Not really, but in all seriousness, the way you speak, so ready to attack someone at their core, is pretty triggering to some people. I didn’t like the way you attacked TameQueen in the first post we met on, so I might have gave you just a tiny taste of your own medicine. It was totally unneccessary for the excuse of “It was rhetorical and my post bwas never meant to be commented on” that’s just delusional to me and obviously false.

Anyways, I will try to control myself in the future.

Now who is projecting.... I am not your mother, and to bring this post back around to the OP's topic, me thinks you are seeing your mother's face on your computer screen instead of my posts. Frankly, what you call mean, I call critical, pointed and honest. If you get triggered that is your stuff, not mine. And btw who made you TameQueen's bodyguard anyway? I am entitled to have an opposing opinion, and to express it and not be called mean when I am just being forthright in defending my point of view.

You calling my posts mean... That is truly the pot calling the kettle black. When yours are even more so by talking about me on ANOTHER forum behind my back. Pulling posts from last year as if they were written yesterday and calling me up on them when they were written in the heat of hurt and anger. If I am mean, then so are you. Even your attempt at offering an olive branch was backhanded, because you couldn't resist the jib at the end with a put down by calling me delusional, AGAIN. Sorry not sorry, huh?

Funny but @Midwinter is truly mean .... and brutal and cold and deadly in most of his replies when he is annoyed or displeased. Not once have you attacked him or defended the other party, I wonder why? Probably because he is male and that is just ok for a man, right? But a woman, a mother no less.... well we are meant to be sweet and nice and not say anything to rock the boat. I don't play that S#@%, I call it like I see it straight up. A man is considered assertive when he does that, but a woman is called a Bitch. Think about it.

But ok fine, I will accept your olive branch ... because my reasons for being here is to garner insight, not go to war. But I will go to war if I have to, and I will defend myself and I do play to win, that would be obvious . Anyways that is the last I am going to say about it. And perhaps we can do each other the favour of not replying to each other's posts, and ignore each other's posts in the future as if we were ghosts particularly given you find me so annoying and dramatic and emotionally draining and I remind you of your hated mother. Hopefully that will help you to not get your knickers in a knot by my forthright prose in future.

(Smiles cheekily, turns on heel with a hairfip, and sashays off with an arrogant swish and a cheeky wave..... )

Damn. I'm down to smash.

I forgot it can be difficult to portray sarcasm through text.... oh well.

MOD COMMENT

Awright, ppl, let's get back to the OP's topic please and lay off the criticism of others. Guests who are here in the NPD forum, please take note.

I'm sending fair warning before I begin to think formal warnings are in order.
