Couldn’t have said it better myself .

@Emosaur These are all classic signs folks. Note them...

1. Confirms diagnosis cloaked in passive/aggressive [i]little [/i]admissions ("[b]If[/b] I was...," "[b]If[/b] what you are saying were true...," etc.).

2. Exhibits paranoid delusions... "the world is out to get and destroy me." I am in grave danger. [c=#BF0000]Diagnostic NOTE[/c]: This is where they will often go on a tangent about being "satellite-tracked." It could be helpful to offer them the tinfoil hat "solution" as a way to keep the subject engaged and calm.

3. Releases pangs of feeling inferiour... "you think you are so smart." Look for use of superlatives (e.g., "super intelligent"). [c=#BF0000]Diagnostic NOTE[/c]: It is important not to make fun of the subject (client) at this point as, once again, he is at his most vulnerable. Assuming at this point he is wearing his tinfoil hat, continue speaking to him as though nothing is out of the ordinary.

What questions does anyone have? 👨‍⚕️

@Emosaur 🧔 So, now let's start to examine the patient's capabilities of self-awareness along with his perspective. Many people will jump to the conclusion he is a paranoid lunatic with illusions of grandeur. But, beyond that, what behaviour patterns do you see from him (and in him) that suggest he might suffer from mental capacity issues, emotional retardation, and cognitive dissonance?

@bijouxbroussard Yes I did and it was really f.cking disgusting. But attacks on gays are rare in comparison to what they once were thankfully. Violence is rife mainly in gang culture. London has a massive knife problem and it's usually gang related stabbings. They all need locking up or what I had at 15. The "short sharp shock" that was a seriously brutal and tough regime here in the UK until mid to late 80s. No Nike trainers no stereos phones and all the other treats of these easy jails here today. It was ALL military style discipline. Crime now hold hardly any punishment and so crime is totally rife. Very unfortunately. I hope those idiots in London get slashed up inside.

@Thingschange4444 I was looking at the fact that your police have already caught the assailants, which is actually pretty impressive.

@bijouxbroussard Yes it is tbh. Because the epidemic of scooter thefts and serious robberies carried out on stolen bikes basically goes untouched. Lol there was a video on YT of 2 little mugs on a stolen bike kicking a police car and the police actually driving off. Thanks to vigilants like Handmuffwarrior on YT are slowly bringing these idiots to the attention of the "authorities" as these fools have snap chats with pics of them next to other people's possession's. The police didn't want to seem to know at first. Resources stretched to the limit.Thankfully someone was nearby to catch the violent idiot who atracked those women.

No @eMortal

@lemonboy about your quote, don't think PDA(public display of affection) was easily introduced and accepted in heterosexual communities. Girls were marked for life as whores if caught. Right now in some Muslim countries they still get killed in the need to save the family's honor. In the Western world in the 1800s having a straight boyfriend/girlfriend was against the natural way. The couple had to be married to dare walk side by side in the streets. Until these days some parents still think it's the proper way.
The current state of PDA became popular and forced upon conservative societies during the social revolution of the 60s.
It took about 600 years for the Western world to get to that point.
So my friend, patience. It takes time to wire social changes into the human brain.

@Rokasu Speaking up for oneself is [b]not[/b] hatred.

Yeah it’s very scary. Me and my bf always get disgusting looks when we’re in public. That’s why I barely like to go out in the first place @NicoleA

@lemonboy
Believe me, I get the same looks when I my girlfriend and I kiss.

Exactly!@bijouxbroussard
