I Have Something to Say

Have you ever encountered someone who seems to live for "the afterlife"?


Someone who says things like..."maybe we were meant to be together in paradise"....(Just writing this makes me cringe..just so ya'll know)


If so..what do you think about this?

Most people I spend any time with are aware of and endeavor for a positive afterlife.

I know many more that have trouble finding any meaning or purpose in this life and mock the concept of an afterlife.

@Budwick I don't necessarily mock the concept. I am speaking more about those who use it in manipulative ways and there are many. Narcissistic and sociopathic people who subscribe to such things use it in a way to attempt to absolve themselves from doing something here and now.

"We can't be together now but we will in our afterlife" it's a string of attachment they tack onto the relationship in order to keep control and manipulate the situation to their advantage.

@JaggedLittlePill Manipulative narcissistic sociopath; sounds like you are dealing with people suffering personality disorders. The afterlife issue would be an interesting addition to the mix, but I doubt a cause or anything nefarious.

No, I'm not a psychologist.

@Budwick a cause of anything nefarious? Lol. Ok. 👍️
