Sounds like my ex fiance... to the letter nearly.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@DancingStarGoddess Yep. Some exes are ridiculous.
@LadyBronte He tried to sleep with every female friend i had after we broke up too, all while telling them made up things i supposedly said about them(things HE actually said). what a peach he was. VERY glad to not know this individual anymore.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@DancingStarGoddess Very glad you saw him for what he was.
JohnnyNoir · 61-69, M

LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@JohnnyNoir Seems like several were either married to or dated that.
JohnnyNoir · 61-69, M
@LadyBronte both fior me. Dated then married
JohnnyNoir · 61-69, M
@LadyBronte long story
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
Oh yeah I have a relative that's his mo
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Justmeraeagain Yeah. It's usually a repeated behavior.
MellyMel22 · F
Yep! Sounds exactly like what I’ve dealt with.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@MellyMel22 Bummer to be on the recieving end.
MellyMel22 · F
@LadyBronte Oh it def is.
OogieBoogie · F
Oh, i have this at work. Currently about twice a week.
Its been going in for years - nearly did me in.
Luckily half the gang that were doing it left.
Also happened to me long term in a relationship.
Anywho.... it's been a RIDE !
Thing is, EVERYTHING can be a learning experience.
But ..... now...
...now im not so sure.
Now i think its their 'way of dealing' that they've fallen into.
Everyone knows, when you are in a crisis your deeper nature, or your inner fear surfaces.
And some will DO ANYTHING....to push that fear away. Even hurt innocents.
'Better them than me' attitude.
And as much as i dont like how they operate, what they do, and the pain they cause.....i feel sorry for them.
Their attitude is its own prison:
- pushes everyone away
- denies any abilty to address the real problem
- its negative self fulfilling behavior.
The more they do it, the more people they awaken to their nature, and the more isolated they become.
I DO think its potentially related to Cluster B personality disorders like BPD and ASPD. And depending in how extreme, these people could even be classifed as Psychotic.
But then..... these things develop from early trauma inflicted upon said people. Their narcissism or whatever is a result, not so much a cause.
What makes it worse is..... society is structured to reward these types. Thus making it near impossible for them to ever reconsider their choices.🫤

@OogieBoogie You hit the nail on the head !
"Their attitude is its own prison:

This. Definitely.

Softy1 · M
Are you describing my ex wife? Lol
BrandNewMan · 61-69, M
@Softy1 IKR?
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Softy1@BrandNewMan Lol. I think we all know that behavior isn't gender specific.
BrandNewMan · 61-69, M
@LadyBronte Absolutely 🤣
Gibbon · 70-79, M
This is the cause of so many sexual harassment issues in the work place. I was the victim of this and racist accusations. Because the people where actually looking to get money out of the company. Fortunately their own supposed evidence proved them wrong.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Gibbon Glad it turned out well for you.
Gibbon · 70-79, M
@LadyBronte yup they were hateful type people
GoFish ·
not me but the islamic regime against israel
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@GoFish Interesting, I wouldnt have thought of that.
Yes...you hit the nail on the head ....those are just a few of narcissistic traits ...there are many more
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@cherny Oh there are, indeed.
I've had it done to me, and it almost cost me everything.
I don't think they were acting out of narcissism, I'm not even sure I agree with the modern use of that word. They acted out of self interest and vindictiveness.
It suited their agenda to have me out of the way.

OogieBoogie · F
@Mindfulness i also think sometimes they act this way due to their own pain, and/or guilt.....and it becomes an internal reciprocating behavioral pattern.
They act before they think, then denial kicks in, and there they, are doing the same damage all over again.
Their 'self interest' is an external rendition of internal fear, they refuse to face, thus the blame/shame and hurt game they put in people - to convince themselves they are justified.
Its a vicious cycle.🫤

You are perha@Mindfulness self interest is what I've typically seen. And suiting their agenda that they always look good because nothing is ever their fault.
@OogieBoogie You are perha0s correct in some cases - their pain and trauma - probably do play a part. I wouldn't deny that some have lasting issues that make them act out.

We've all known at least one ..
Wouln't it be nice if there was some kind of visual cue .. like a literal forked tongue .. instead of just the behaviors?? Could save so much heart ache. 😎😁

@BrandNewMan I knew I could count on you! I'll expect an update at the first of the week and the completed project in no more than 2 months. 😂
BrandNewMan · 61-69, M
@LadyBronte I might need until the end of the year .. got a couple things cooking already I really need to wrap up 😉
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@BrandNewMan Alright. Fine. We'll circle back sometime in December. 😄
Wiseacre · F
It’s called shifting blame
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Wiseacre Yep. Exactly.
DareToSayIT · M
It’s not just narcissism, it’s malignant narcissism.
Wiseacre · F
@DareToSayIT the word narcissist is overused..I believe it a human trait..u feel hurt and want to hurt back.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@DareToSayIT That type of repeated and continued behavior is actually malignant.
@Wiseacre I think it can often be a case of being hurt. But when that behavior continues through the years, through multiple people, and is their "go-to" action, I don't know that people can continue to excuse it under the guise of being hurt.

Mindful · 56-60, F
Narcissism. Either full on or not self aware and blind to self. :-( sigh. But I've noticed anyone who feels wronged is critical of the person they THINK wronged them...
OogieBoogie · F
@Mindful i shift in and out of this thinking myself.
Took me a VERY long time to recognize that if two people are in a dysfunctional relationship, (no matter the initial cause), then fault lies between them both.
I can see, that, (in a way), i was ignorant, blind and allowed too many things to be forgiven or washed under the bridge.
I should have stood up, (or walked away), sooner🤷♀

LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Mindful Yes, I think everyone tends to lash out when hurt. But, I also believe most people get that under control at some point. It's not a life long habit.
Mindful · 56-60, F
@OogieBoogie in my case we were both ignorant, self centered, didn't really know ourselves nor each other. We both dysfunctional. At least that's how I can live with my past... to share the blame.
Mentally disturbed to say the least.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Unefilletrescurieuse Probably. Could be psychosis of some kind.
Adroneandastrain · 46-50, M
I have peered behind the veil covering most of what happens, and it's shocking to see how with every miniscule utterance are birthed a myriad of falsehoods, it spreads more rapidly than a forest fire in a hurricane.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@Adroneandastrain That does indeed happen.
greensnacks · F
That is a narcissist doing a smear campaign most likely.
LadyBronte · 61-69, F
@greensnacks Yep. I agree.
