Someone I know shows stuff such as:

  • constantly needing a scapegoat
  • shifting blame/cannot take accountability
  • exaggerated mindset, often where other people are useless and they are the greatest
  • has to maintain a very positive public image, such as being the absolute best
  • does not have empathy unless it involves them or impacts their image in some way, if their image is supposed to be empathetic they will act so because of their image
  • lacks empathy for people in pain/bad mental health/etc. but their image might be very upset about that
  • will often be very nice to people in any sort of power

I’m asking because I’m genuinely curious if I should help, and maybe that even if they exhibit negative behaviors, they’re not a completely TERRIBLE person despite how they treat me.

      What? No, they’re talking about…huh…I mean, I guess that’s true. Everything this person said applys to trump, and I see nothing disqualifying the fact that they WEREN’T talking about trump.

      I guess I just…I still haven’t accepted that 2016 actually happened. It still feels like a very fake tv show. It doesn’t help that it’s basically the plot to Back To The Future 2. It felt like a rerun happening in real time, which is what this feels like now…

      …can someone get me on the REAL timeline? I’d just love to not be here in this reality. At all. In any way.
