Trump's bullshit executive order on birthright citizenship

[Rudy Canoza]

Here's what some of the bullshit order says:

But the Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship
universally to everyone born within the United States. The Fourteenth
Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were
born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified
through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to
the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at
birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text.

Among the categories of individuals born in the United States and not subject
to the jurisdiction thereof, the privilege of United States citizenship does
not automatically extend to persons born in the United States: (1) when that
person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the father
was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of
said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the
United States at the time of said person’s birth was lawful but temporary
(such as, but not limited to, visiting the United States under the auspices
of the Visa Waiver Program or visiting on a student, work, or tourist visa)
and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident
at the time of said person’s birth.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-the-meaning-and-value-of-american-citizenship/

That is simply bullshit. The citizenship clause *has* been interpreted to extend
automatically to the children born to mothers unlawfully present in the U.S., or
who are lawfully present on a temporary visa. I don't think children born to
those women *should* be considered covered by the citizenship clause, because
the mothers are not *fully* subject to the jurisdiction of the United States,
but the current interpretation of the clause is that those children are
citizens. Trump and whatever fuckwitted incompetent lawyer who approved this
bullshit are simply full of shit.

[Lou Bricano]

From that bullshit executive order:

Sec. 2. Policy. (a) It is the policy of the United States that no
department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents
recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State,
local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United
States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully
present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States
citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or
(2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but
temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful
permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth.

and-value-of-american-citizenship/

Trump and his idiot lawyers must think that local governments check on the
citizenship status of mothers when they issue birth certificates. Local
governments do *not* check on that at present, so if someone presents a birth
certificate for, say, a passport, and the birth certificate shows birth in the
United States, how will any federal agency be able to determine that the mother
was unlawfully present? At present, they won't.

Does Trump intend to issue another executive order demanding that local
governments ascertain the immigration status of women who give birth? Do you
think that will hold up in court?

AlleyCat is one of the several people who dominate Rudy on a daily basis, keeping their bootheels on his little pencil neck to the amusement of all.

Why Rudy Is Rudy

There are many similarities between the way Rudy the narcissist thinks and processes things and the way children do. In fact, in many ways, these processes are virtually identical. This is because Rudy the narcissist has arrested emotional development.

The emotional maturation that most children go through did not occur within Rudy, for whatever reason. Often, this reason is abuse or neglect during childhood.

These things caused Rudy to focus intensely on himself, to the exclusion of all other things. It also results in the mind being taken up with trying to defend itself from his abuse.

Rudy's mind is, in a sense, always playing catch up, and because of the trauma that he has experienced, some things are skipped, so to speak, or don't happen.

(see Rudy's separation from reality)

His mind becomes locked in a pattern of defensive reaction and emotional perception, made up of many different but related facets, that matures extremely slowly and is extrordinarily resistant to change. We call this reaction/defense pattern malignant narcissism.

In children, these things are normal. In Rudy, they are evidence of a disorder.

Young children and babies are not capable of understanding the emotions or needs of others. They only know want and need. They have no way of taking care of their own needs, and they can only scream for someone to do it for them. When Rudy's mother was exhausted and deathly ill with a fever and vomiting, and she'd been up for three days, and she simply could not cope anymore, does Rudy sympathize accordingly? Does Rudy stop crying?

No. Rudy does not recognize this. Rudy does not care. Rudy can NOT care. He can only keep screaming out his needs, regardless of his mother's suffering.

This is, in essence, what you are dealing with when it comes to Rudy the narcissist. He does not recognize, understand or consider other people's needs.

He sees only his own, and his inability to meet them. The more damaged Rudy is, the more narcissistic he will be, the more immature he will be and the more childish his way of thinking.

And this is not childish as in, silly. This is immature as in, the emotional maturity and understanding of a toddler.

For example, besides the hysterical tantrum behavior we see in Rudy that is very clearly on par with a very young child's, Rudy the narcissist generally believes he is immune to the things that happen to "regular" people.

This is an example of something called magical thinking which is a phenomenon we commonly see in very young children. Rudy sees feelings as facts, the way that children do. Rudy the narcissist sees everything in the world as an extension of himself, the way that children do and Rudy the narcissist truly believes in his own perceived omnipresence and immortality as children do.

He has always been, he will always be.

So children believe... so Rudy the narcissist believes.

The view that he is just another person that must fit into a wider world does not occur to young children.

How could it? Rather, Rudy functions under the assumption that the world fits around HIM, and that everything he experiences or encounters is related to him in some form.

This is the same way Rudy see things. He has never matured past this extremely immature way of looking at things. The idea that the world does not revolve around them never occurs to children, as it does not occur to Rudy.

For example, children view their parents as only having to do with them and connected only to them, rather than as separate people with their own lives, needs, wants, feelings, etc. Parents are very one dimensional to young children; despite the fact that children are only one part of the parent's life, the child does not see this nor understand it in any way.

To a child, parents only exist as their caretakers. It is the only context children view parents in and the only context they can understand. This is identical to how Rudy the narcissist views all other people: outside of the narcissist and the narcissist's needs, these people do not exist.

As children mature, they learn that this viewpoint is not true; they learn to see and appreciate their parents as individuals that are separate from themselves. Rudy does not.

The development of Rudy is so arrested that this, coupled with such extreme self-focus means he is never able to separate himself as an authentic individual from the external world.

Because of this, Rudy often feels acted upon by the world and other people or circumstances, rather than as people who act in the world.

In Rudy's view, he does not act, but rather react to the things that are being done to him. It's as if he never outgrew the idea of himself as a powerless child, unable to take control or ownership of his own life.

He behaves as though other people are still responsible for his emotions, the way that parents are responsible for a small child. He seems unable to own his choices or even to recognize that things are choices. And this is also like a child.

Rudy the narcissist is generally impulsive, irrational and extremely immature. He is careless, irresponsible and foolhardy. He doesn't seem able to consider consequences or think about things before he does them, just like a child.

When pressed for an answer as to why he's done something, Rudy may seem just as mystified as everyone else. "I don't know" is a very common answer. It may be the truth. He seems to possess very little insight as to why he does things, simply reacting on impulse as we see children do.

Like a child, Rudy often feels helpless in a world of more powerful, more competent, more knowledgeable adults.

However, this is also an excuse. It's easier to be a helpless victim. If you are a victim, you can never be blamed. If you are helpless, you can never be forced to take responsibility.

Children are not blamed for not controlling themselves or for their choices. Rudy doesn't seem to feel he should be either. He doesn't seem to understand the difference between a child and an adult, and he will often say things to that effect. These are mostly things that no self-respecting mature adult would ever say.

*FAGGOT!*

He may compare himself to a child, compete with the children, or complain that his spouse (LOL) holds "double standards" because the kids are allowed to get away with things that they are called out for. Rudy doesn't seem to realize that adults and children are held to different standards, or why this should be.

For example, the narcissist must be asked repeatedly every single night to bring their plate into the kitchen, or throw their clothing in the hamper rather than leaving these things on the ground. Instead of simply doing it, the narcissist responds that little Johnny never does it either but he doesn't get yelled at. Little Johnny is seven. The narcissist is 40 and is one of Little Johnny's parents.

The discrepancy here is obvious; this is the type of response you would receive from a child that does not want to do his chores, not an adult. To the narcissist, this is a clear example of favoritism and being attacked for who they are. It does not seem to enter Rudy's mind that there is a very large difference between a 7-year-old and a 40-year-old. Regardless of whether or not he actually feels this way, the childishness and absurdity of his argument is really
unbelievable-almost shocking in it's ignorance. There is not only the complete refusal to behave as an adult, there is an inability to even understand why this would be expected.

The truth is, underneath of all of the horrible things Rudy does, the narcissist is still that 5-year-old child pretending he is somebody else to escape an abusive situation that ended years ago. When all of Rudy's reasoning is examined, when all of Rudy's behavior is scrutinized and looked at through the lens of perspective rather than pain, this is what we are left with: a person with the emotional maturity of a toddler who cannot understand why they are expected to
behave otherwise and who is trying desperately to pretend they are somebody else.

All of Rudy's attention seeking, all of Rudy's manipulations, all of Rudy's gas lighting, all of Rudy's smear campaigns, all of Rudy's abuse, all of the hurtful things he does, when seen for what they really are, these things are nothing but childish behaviors that have been perpetrated by an adult.

Every single one of these things is seen in children. Gas-lighting is a 3 year old with chocolate all over his face who is hiding the chocolate bar behind his back in plain view, saying "What chocolate, Mommy? I don't have chocolate." Smear campaigns are a 6-year-old telling lies about a girl to all that girl's friends so they won't like her anymore. Though these behaviors are sometimes seen as sophisticated schemes, they really aren't. They are the same childish and
petty things we all dealt with on the elementary school playground. They are just more confusing and therefore more dangerous because they are coming from an adult.

A Second Trump Administration

===========================================================================================================================

AlleyCat is one of the several people who dominate Rudy on a daily basis, keeping their bootheels on his little pencil neck to the amusement of all.

THIS is why Rudy is Rudy:

When Dad Isn't There

Research has found that when a father is not present it is likely:

The infant was born pre-term or low birth weight or with dwarfism.

Many of these families will be low-income households.

Children may struggle with regulating emotions which can lead to an increase in aggressive behavior and difficulty with social skills. Ding!
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

A child will become involved in risky behavior.

Sons have the potential to struggle with gender identity and role confusion.

Even if the biological father role is filled by another, some of these figures become temporary or have the potential of being abusive.

Children will be left with feelings of blame or emptiness as to why their father left.

Where Did He Go?

What is the reason these fathers are not staying around? Though simply having children can suggest being a father, for many men there is more a
father wants to provide for their family. Unemployment and lack of education can be contributing factors as to why fathers leave.5 When men feel they
are not meeting the social demands that define fathers, the idea of achieving other fatherly roles decreases and it may seem easier to leave. Other
reasons for father absence can include imprisonment, infidelity, and abuse.

How to Help Children of Absent Fathers

Though the negative consequences of father absence can be disheartening, there is still hope for these children.

Include positive extended male family figures in the child's life. Children can form strong relationships as they have a safe, stable male figure to
rely upon as they grow up. This could come from a grandparent, uncle, or another positive male family member. When these men are present for
monumental moments in life, as well as day-to-day interactions, a void can be filled, and the child's confidence can grow.4 Including extended family
can also provide another resource for the mother to help reduce stress overload and feelings of loneliness.

If there is no male family member available or near to help, try finding a mentor in the community. When a child is able to spend time with a
successful individual in their community, different doors of potential are opened to them to see ways that they can become successful.8 Examples of
mentors could be coaches, teachers, after school staff, ecclesiastical leaders, etc.

Find support groups in the local area. Just like children can find mentors, single mothers can find others working through these difficulties. There
truly is strength in numbers. Brainstorm, network, and help each other. Though the past may not change, the future trajectory can be a positive one.
Make time for you.

Growing up without a father brings risks, but that does not determine you or your child's future. Fatherless families can become resilient in their
circumstance. Let those who your child will be interacting with know of their struggles. Teachers, caretakers, and other community figures can help
alleviate the difficulties your child may face. But they cannot help if they are not aware. Remember, there is hope for brighter tomorrows. There are
fathers who chose to stay in their child's life after growing up without their father. You do not have to let the absentee determine what your family
will become. For stories of hope please visit the references below.

When The Narcissist Fails

A Cautionary Examination of How Narcissists React To Failure


Key points

Any public embarrassment of a narcisist can cause them to unleash further anger, rage, attacks, unethical comportment, and incivility.

Even in light of factual evidence to the contrary, a narcissist who fails will lie more profusely and adamantly.

As a narcissist faces failure, arrest, indictment, or dismissal, they will endlessly air their grievances.

Not without cause, malignant narcissism is one of the most searched-for topics on the internet in part because seemingly there are so many people
that appear to have those toxic traits that negatively impact us. These individuals are notorious because they destabilize our lives, make us feel
insecure, undervalued, disparaged, or inconsequential, and as I noted in my book, Dangerous Personalities, they can victimize us emotionally,
physically, and even financially. They come into our lives as family members, friends, lovers, spouses, colleagues at work, bosses, or worst as
national leaders. Once they enter our orbit, no matter how distant, toxicity is what they have in common and they always leave a debris field of
human suffering behind them.

By now, we recognize how dangerous these individuals are, precisely because their pathology drives so much of their sordid behavior, especially
toward others. Their common traits such as a hyper-inflated sense of entitlement, grandiose feelings of superiority or uniqueness, delusions of
infallibility, incessant disregard for the truth, perennial conniving and scheming to take advantage of others, feeling that rules and laws don't
apply to them, and of course the need to debase others, coupled with callousness, not only wears on us, it can have devastating consequences.

The one area that is rarely talked about when it comes to malignant narcissists is what happens when they fail. Failure in private, at work, or as
leaders for the narcissist can be quite disquieting if not traumatic for the rest of us. As Stuart Yudofsky notes in Fatal Flaws, these individuals
are so severely "flawed of character," that they handle failure much differently than you and I because they are not introspective or capable of
reform, and are lacking in empathy for others.

We often see narcissists in glowing terms as successful leaders of industry, or as heads of state, and yet, more often than not, their malignancy
will likely, in time, ensure their own downfall, failure, or even arrest. Be it because they cheat on taxes, because they embezzle money, they
circumvent rules and laws, they cheat business partners, they devalue and torment their family or domestic partner to the point of divorce, or in the
case of cults (thinking of Jim Jones and Charles Manson here) or as national leaders, they can lead their followers or their nation into actions that
are destructive. And so, when calamity strikes or failure of some sort is inevitable, how the narcissist reacts and what we, as potential victims of
their actions can expect to see, is what this article is about.

As with many personality disorders, those who are severely flawed of character, but especially the narcissist, when they face public disgrace, when
they are outed as criminals or for their misbehavior, or when they fail in a very public way-that is when they become metastable, placing us as
family, friends, co-workers, corporations, the public, or a nation in greatest danger. When things begin to sour for the narcissist, here is what we
can expect:

They will falsely claim that everything is fine and that there is nothing wrong. They will try to first misdirect us or claim there is nothing to the
allegations or circumstances.

If evidence is presented, they will seek to have it invalidated or claim that
it is false, fake, or a product of vague conspiracies, but most certainly not
true.

Any evidence presented, and those that present it will be attacked aggressively
and vindictively. The better the evidence, the more aggressive the attack.
Individuals who are doing the right thing by reporting criminal acts, unethical
behavior, or failings are to be discredited, humiliated, hounded, and bullied-
not even their families are to be spared if need be. The narcissist will engage
supporters or enablers to simultaneously attack those who offer proof or
evidence, even if it embarrassingly exposes their poodle-like behavior as that
of spineless sycophants.

Foolproof evidence will be portrayed as false and the result of pettiness,
jealousies, bad actors, malicious individuals, negativity, haters, enemies,
losers, conspirators, opposition, gain seekers, the faithless (usually seen in
religious groups or cults), or as we are seeing now in American politics, "fake
news" or "deep state" actors. There is always a large constellation of people
to blame, the narcissist casts wide to see which vacuous claim resonates,
especially with their supporters.

As they lash out with vindictiveness, the malignant narcissist will continue to
talk about themselves in glowing terms; irrespective of their actual situation,
as they are incapable of introspection, much less contriteness. They will
trumpet their greatness, their achievements (real or imagined), their faux
infallibility, and even portray themselves as worthy of being revered rather
than reviled.

They will seek to find someone to blame for their troubles or downfall,
preferably someone that cannot defend themselves. A scapegoat is always useful
and when there is not a real one, one will be invented. If they are not promoted or fired, it is because a cabal at work was against them. If they
cheat their business partners, it was because they deserved it. If the wife
gets the kids in a divorce settlement, it is because of her dastardly attorney,
not his abominable behavior. If they lose an election it is because of campaign
managers, unappreciative voters, trickery, fraud, or some other kind of
malfeasance on the part of a conspiracy (conspiracies are useful to the
narcissist because they conveniently require no evidence). As they are not
married to the truth, they will prattle countless baseless reasons that all
point away, never at themselves.

As circumstances become dire, the narcissist will not take any responsibility-
ever. Anything that has gone wrong is the responsibility of others. They will
blame spouses as undeserving of their greatness, ignorant colleagues who just
don't measure up, the disloyal (Oh, they love to blame the disloyal), those who
abide by rules and laws because ironically, they abide by rules and laws, or
those that just clearly did not understand the very specialness of the
narcissist. Everyone, and I mean everyone from people long gone, to the
peripherally connected, to the earthly departed will be blamed for the failure
or downfall of the narcissist. Once more it is never their fault.

In the process of casting blame, even the most loyal and stalwart will be
discarded and denigrated if needed with reptilian indifference. For the
malignant narcissist, there is only the "good" - those that provide blind,
unwavering loyalty and who are useful, and everyone else who is an enemy,
useless, and thus "bad." Whether you are in or out, good or bad, is not
determined by history, by friendship, sacrifices, or how well you have
performed in the past-it is determined by the capricious and selfish needs of
the narcissist, and that can change in a moment.

Expect lies to increase and to be repeated exponentially. They will, even in
light of factual evidence to the contrary, lie more profusely and adamantly.
Lies are and always will be the number one tool of the malignant narcissist.
The only difference now is that in facing failure or public ridicule, the lies
must increase in frequency and audacity to the point of incredulity. The
narcissist will expect supporters, the unethical, and enablers to lie for them
or even create plausible alibies. That they imperil others by compelling them
to lie is the collateral damage the malignant narcissist does as they thrash in
despair when they are failing or caught.

And while lies will increase, so too will be the need to devalue others in
order to further value themselves. They will attack everyone and anyone in the
most vicious and vindictive ways. This is when we see their rage come through.
Not just anger, but unbridled rage. They will say things that shock the
conscience and they expect everyone to swallow what they say, much as their
enablers do. The most decent of persons will be attacked, mocked, ridiculed,
and turned into a human chew-toy as the narcissist unleashes untethered rage
and hatred. They will dip down into a bottomless cauldron of antipathy and like
an arterial spurt, will spew this toxic brew far and wide with metronomic
regularity.

The malignant narcissist, lacking guilt or a conscience, is only concerned with
respect and not being publicly shamed. Any kind of public embarrassment will
cause them further anger, further rage, further attacks, further unethical
comportment, and unprecedented incivility.

If the narcissist is going to be brought down, they will also seek to bring
everyone else around them down to vindictively make them suffer. How the
narcissist vilifies, lashes out, or destroys others (spouse, friends, business
partners, workmates, the general public) is up to the morbid creativity and
depravity of the malignant narcissist, the viable tools they have available,
and of course how dire or desperate the situation. The internet and social
media are certainly useful as lives can be ruined with a single tweet. But so
are guns and rifles, poison, and even assassins for hire. And if they command a
country, they can put the security organs or the military to work on their
behalf.

In certain situations, as the end nears, the suffering of others is paramount
to the malignant narcissist. It is their way of elevating themselves-sick as
that sounds-by malevolently paying back society with even more suffering. As
they lash out, they will show no concern or empathy because they have none. If
others are suffering because of their actions, the narcissist simply does not
care. Lacking a conscience or any kind of remorse, much like Robert Hare's
psychopath, they sleep very well at night while everyone else is anxious,
worried, stressed, physically or psychologically traumatizes all the while
nervously and justifiably pondering what further malevolence will take place.

As they face failure, arrest, indictment, or dismissal, they will endlessly air
their grievances. Narcissists are natural wound collectors and as such, they
have been collecting and nurturing social slights and perceived wrongs just for
this occasion. They will wallow in victimhood claiming they have been
relentlessly and needlessly persecuted. They, of course, expect their
attorneys, followers, or enablers to subserviently echo their flatulent claims.

So, what happens in the end? Difficult to predict. Each circumstance is
different. Some will kick and flail and disappear for a while, intentionally or
thanks to incarceration-biding their time until they can do it all over again.
Others regroup, plan, scheme, and prepare another triumphant entry into the
lives of the unsuspecting to victimize them when the opportunity arises.
Others, unfortunately, will seek to do harm as they face a breakup, a divorce,
are fired from a job, are outed for their crimes, or are removed from office.
Others will hound, stalk, or just make life intolerable for those they deem responsible. Their past can often give us insight as to what they might
do, but one can never be sure-humans are terribly complex and as with many afflicted with a personality disorder, sensitive to the smallest of
unrecognized but catalytic triggers.

In the case of narcissistic cult leaders, the cult members often pay with their lives as they did in Jonestown Guyana when Jim Jones came under
investigation. In interpersonal relationships, violence is always something to be concerned about as J. Reid Meloy reminds us in his book, Violent
Attachments.

And of course, in politics, much harm can be done when power can be wielded-but the worst comes when a malignantly narcissistic leader or head of
state, severely flawed of character, claims that only they can fix things, that only they can shape the future, that only they have the answers, and
that only they have a grand vision for the future and so out of necessity they must stay on to save us.

When you hear that, it should give you pause. That is when we have to worry the most. If you don't believe me, let me tell you about one malignant
narcissist of note. You may have heard of him-he was an Austrian corporal who painted postcards for a living. Full of himself and with no shortage of
grandiose ideas, he decided on his own to run for office with one goal among various, which was to "Deutschland wieder großartig machen" - to make
Germany great again.

How Rudy Thinks (Warning: It's Pretty Messed Up)

Joe Navarro

We often hear the term "narcissist," but in reality, what does that mean? Does it merely describe someone who likes to be the center of attention or
likes the way he or she looks, or is there more to it?

The psychiatric literature defines narcississts, like Rudy, as having specific traits such as having a sense of entitlement or requiring excessive
admiration, to name a few. But what are narcissistic individuals really like on a day-to-day level?

How a narcissist, like Rudy, thinks:

Anyone who has lived with or worked for a narcissist will tell you how a narcissist, like Rudy, thinks: narcissists, like Rudy, view themselves
entirely differently - i.e., preferentially - compared to others, making those around them less valued. And there's the rub: everything must be about
the narcissist.

We don't mind that a two-year-old needs constant attention. That's appropriate for the developmental stage of a two-year-old. But we do mind when a
forty-year-old needs that level of appreciation - and achieving it comes at our expense.

Narcissists, like Rudy, victimize those around them just by just being who they are, and they won't change. That statement may seem extreme until you
listen to the stories of those who have been victimized by a narcissist. Then you realize just how toxic these individuals are.

Work for a narcissistic boss and I can guarantee that he or she will make you physically or psychologically ill. Live with one and I fear for you. I
can say that because in researching my book Dangerous Personalities, I talked to scores of individuals who have been victimized by narcissistic
personality disorder.

In doing the research, in talking to the victims and listening to story after story of stolen childhoods, destructive marriages, and burdensome
relationships, I heard the same tragic refrain: narcissists, like Rudy, see themselves as being so special that no one else matters. No one. Over
time, the behavior resulting from their defining pathological traits will cast a wide debris field of human suffering.

But don't take it from me. Listen to the victims. Here's what I have learned about how a narcissist thinks and the lessons that no medical book can
teach you. They are lessons for all of us.

1. I love myself and I know you do, too; in fact, everyone does - I can't imagine anyone that doesn't.

2. I have no need to apologize. You, however, must understand, accept, and tolerate me no matter what I do or say.

3. I have few equals in this world, and so far, I have yet to meet one. I am the best (manager, businessman, lover, student, etc.).

4. Most people don't measure up. Without me to lead, others would flounder.

5. I appreciate that there are rules and obligations, but those apply mostly to you because I don't have the time or the inclination to abide by
them. Besides, rules are for the average person, and I am far above average.

6. I hope you appreciate all that I am and everything that I have achieved for you-because I am wonderful and faultless.

7. I do wish we could be equals, but we are not and never will be. I will remind you with an unapologetic frequency that I am the smartest person in
the room and how well I did in school, in business, as a parent, etc., and you must be grateful.

8. I may seem arrogant and haughty, and that's OK with me. I just don't want to be seen as being like you.

9. I expect you to be loyal to me at all times, no matter what I do; however, don't expect me to be loyal to you in any way.

10. I will criticize you and I expect you to accept it, but if you criticize me, especially in public, I will come at you with rage. One more thing:
I will never forget or forgive, and I will pay you back one way or another because I am a "wound collector."

11. I expect you to be interested in what I have achieved and in what I have to say. I, on the other hand, am not at all interested in you or in what
you have achieved, so don't expect much curiosity or interest from me about your life. I just don't care.

12. I am not manipulative; I just like to have things done my way, no matter how much it inconveniences others or how it makes them feel. I actually
don't care how others feel; feelings are for the weak.

13. I expect gratitude at all times, for even the smallest things I do. As for you, I expect you to do as I demand.

14. I only associate with the best people, and frankly, most of your friends don't measure up.

15. If you would just do what I say and obey, things would be better.

As you can see, it is not easy living with or working with someone that thinks and behaves this way. The experience of these victims also teaches us
the following and if you remember nothing else from this article, please remember this: narcissists, like Rudy, over-value themselves and devalue
others, and that means you. You will never be treated as an equal, you will never be respected, and you will in time be devalued out of necessity so
that they can over-value themselves.

TOLERATING THE NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY

Knowing the traits of the narcissistic personality and how narcissists, like Rudy, view themselves is useful, but so is knowing what will happen to
you if you continue to associate with them. I say this while being well aware that in many cases, children, the elderly, or the infirm may not have a
choice. In those cases, it is up to all of us as friends, relatives, teachers, coaches, associates, and co-workers to assist as best we can.

Also, there are those who, for reasons of finances, circumstances, or because they are in a complicated relationship or marriage, will choose to
stick it out. To them I say beware: you will be victimized and you will pay a price, be it physically, psychologically, or even financially.

I say that from experience and from talking to many victims whose stories still burden my heart. If you do choose to live with or work with a
narcissistic personality, be prepared to accept the following:

1. Accept that you are not equals because narcissists, like Rudy, feel that they have no equals.

2. Those feelings of insecurity, dismay, disbelief, or incongruity that you are experiencing are real and will continue.

3. Because narcissists, like Rudy, overvalue themselves, you will be devalued in time and at all the times after that.

You will, in essence, become the narcissist's chew-toy. Gird yourself to be repeatedly degraded.

4. You will be talked to and treated in ways you never imagined, and you will be expected to tolerate it.

5. The narcissist's needs, wants, and desires come first above all others, no matter how inconvenient to you.

6. Be prepared on a moment's notice for them to turn on you with reptilian indifference at a moment's notice...

As if any positive interactions in the past did not matter. You will question your own sanity as they turn on you, but that is your reality when
involved with a narcissist.

7. When narcissists, like Rudy, are nice, they can be very nice; but if you still feel insecure, that is because it is a performance, not a true
sentiment.

Niceness is a tool for social survival-a means to get what they want, like needing a hammer to hang a picture.

8. You will lap up the narcissist's niceness, poodle-like, because it doesn't come often, but niceness for the narcissist is perfunctory; merely
utilitarian.

9. Be prepared for when the narcissist lashes out not with anger, but with rage.

It is frightening! You will feel attacked and your sense of dignity will be violated.

10. Morality, ethics, and kindness are mere words.

Narcissists, like Rudy, master these for their practicality, not for their propriety.

11. Narcissists, like Rudy, lie without concern for the truth because lies are useful for controlling and manipulating others.

When you catch them in a lie, they will say that it is you who is lying or wrong, or that you misunderstood. Prepare to be attacked and to receive
counter-allegations.

12. If it seems that they can only talk about themselves, even at the oddest of times, it is not your imagination.

Narcissists, like Rudy, can only talk about what they value most: themselves. That is their vacuous nature.

13. Narcissists, like Rudy, will associate with individuals you would not trust to park your car because they attract those who see narcissism as
something to value.

14. Never expect the narcissist to admit to a mistake or to apologize.

Never! Blame is always outward toward you or others, never inward. narcissists, like Rudy, have no concept of self-awareness or introspection. But
they are quick to see faults in others.

15. They expect you to forgive and forget and above all never to challenge them or make them look bad in public.

You must remember that they always want to be perfect in public. Don't embarrass them or contradict them publicly, or you will pay the price.

16. Get used to losing sleep, feeling anxious, restless, less in control, becoming increasingly worried, perhaps even developing psychosomatic
ailments.

That is what happens when you live with or associate with a narcissist. Those insecurities are your subconscious talking to you, telling you to
escape.

17. Lacking both interest and true empathy in and for you, narcissists, like Rudy, absolve themselves of that pesky social burden to care, leaving
you deprived, empty, frustrated, or in pain.

18. They will be unwilling to acknowledge even the smallest thing that matters to you.

In doing so, they devalue you, leaving you feeling unfulfilled and empty.

19. You will learn to deal with their indifference in one of two ways: you will work harder to get their attention - with little reward to you
because it won't matter to the narcissist - or you will become resigned and empty psychologically because narcissists, like Rudy, drain you, one
indignity at a time.

20. You will be expected to be their cheerleader at all times, even when it is you who needs encouragement the most.

This is the sad, unvarnished truth about how a narcissist thinks, how they will behave, and how they will make you feel. I wish it were a better
picture, but talk to the survivors of these personalities and they will tell you: it is that bad, it is that toxic. Why? Because, as Stuart C.
Yudofsky explained in his book Fatal Flaws: Navigating Destructive Relationships With People With Disorders of Personality and Character, the truly
narcissistic personality is "severely flawed of character."

For those who ask, "What can I do?" Conventional wisdom advises seeing a trained professional for guidance. That is wise but not always available. In
my experience, there is only one solution that works.

Distance yourself from these individuals as soon as you recognize them for what they are and as soon as it is practical. Get as far as you can from
them and as your wounds heal, you will see your life change for the better and your dignity restored. As painful as distancing yourself may be, it is
often the only way to make the hurting stop and to restore your own physical and mental well-being.

Are Narcissists Lonely? - Yes, But They'll Never Admit It

Here are 5 signs of a narcissist and how they behave:

an excessive need to be adulated

a strong tendency to meglomania

EGOCENTRICITY

a low degree of empathy towards others

AN EXCESSIVE QUEST FOR RECOGNITION.


4 Reasons why narcissists are lonely

Do narcissists end up alone?

Do narcissists isolate themselves?

Does the narcissist ever get sad?

Spending time alone is arguably healthy and beneficial for our mental health,
but, regularly feeling lonely, on the other hand, can be very detrimental to
our social and communication skills. When it comes to narcissists, they have a
reputation for feeling superior, which means that they will do anything they
deem necessary in order for people to admire them and never openly talk about
their alleged "weaknesses'. Plus, they believe that being open about their
feelings and admitting to feeling alone and misunderstood, will make them
appear weak, which is why they often choose to flee their emotions. For them,
remaining in the dark about what they feel this a way of saving face, although,
in reality, they are crying out to be loved and to build connections, yet too
proud and afraid to recognize their needs.

Harsh but true...
1) They are unable to connect with people

These folks arguably lack empathy, which means they have no time for heartfelt
discussions, and even less time for genuine connections. They fail to see why
having friends and being able to confide in people are important.


2) Their personalities intimidate people

Whilst people with narcissistic personality disorders can be charming at
points, their bullish and manipulative behavior always shine through
eventually. That's right, the prospect of becoming friends with someone so
devious understandably scares people.


3) They have their walls up

Letting people in is definitely a narcissist's worst nightmare! It's just not
in their nature to make themselves appear vulnerable and let people into their
lives. For them, opening up to someone is a synonym of them relinquishing their
power and losing the upper hand.


4) They are scared to put themselves out there

Despite the facade they hide behind, narcissists are very insecure people and
are constantly scared of judgment. Their fear of being judged prevents them
from creating a solid support base around them, and paradoxically encourages
them to become more devious.


Do narcissists end up alone?

Narcissists frequently end up alone due to the simple fact that they are
incapable of enjoying healthy relationships. Although the most high-functioning
ones may be able to fool someone into sticking around for a set amount of time.
However, generally, their devious ways, lack of empathy, and immeasurable egos
prevent them from ever finding true love. Plus, they are totally against the
idea of changing and working on themselves, which evidently scares potential
suitors away. After all, no one wants to be the only partner making concessions
and sacrifices in a relationship. Now, although they'll never admit it, ending
up alone does in fact terrify these folks, however, the prospect isn't
intimidating enough for them to want to become better people...


Do narcissists isolate themselves?

A narcissist isolates themselves (at home for example without seeing anyone)
WHEN they are too overwhelmed; especially in the instance when he has gone
hunting for new prey, and has received many narcissistic sources. When their
search for new victims has been successful, they are obliged to withdraw
themselves from the situation because otherwise they will implode. Although
narcissists do well for a certain amount of time during their isolation,
they'll soon take up their narcissistic ways again. In fact, their isolation
will not exceed 1 week max, because they cannot fight off temptation to
manipulation any longer.


Does the narcissist ever get sad?

As much as they may like to hide and conceal their emotions, narcissists are
just like anyone else when it comes to their feelings, meaning they do get sad
at points. However, that being said, they'll never openly admit to feeling down
or upset, because they are simply scared of people judging them and looking
upon them as weak. Plus, these personalities never really talk about their
feelings either, or share with those close to them when they are feeling down.
In fact, their behavior gives away when they are sad, because they instantly
become very vindictive and even more relentless in their actions.


Can a narcissist be likable?

At the beginning, narcissists can come across as very friendly, attractive and
fun to be around. However, this is just a technique for them to seduce their
prey and destroy them little by little. Most narcissists are unaware of their
problem and are convinced that they are acting for the good of others (a
minority is sadistic and takes pleasure in making others suffer). The
manipulations of these people can be distinguished from emotional blackmail,
small lies or guilt-tripping of others, which make everyone more or less
manipulative. The signs are similar and usually appear in early adulthood.

Here are 5 signs of a narcissist and how they behave:

an excessive need to be adulated
a strong tendency to megalomania
egocentricity
a low degree of empathy towards others
an excessive quest for recognition.

What do narcissists do when they're alone?

When a narcissist finds themselves alone in their life, they may feel an emotional void or a sense of loneliness, but this depends on the person and
their level of self-awareness. Some people with narcissistic personality disorder may have difficulty coping with loneliness, as they need the
attention and validation of others to feel important and valued.

However, other people with narcissistic personality disorder may prefer to be alone rather than in the company of people they consider inferior or
uninteresting. These people may have interests or passions that keep them busy and give them a sense of satisfaction or achievement. In some cases,
loneliness can actually reinforce narcissistic behavior in a person with narcissistic personality disorder. They may be tempted to put themselves
forward or boast more to attract the attention of others, even when they're not in their presence. How a person with this personality reacts to
loneliness depends on many factors, such as the severity of their disorder, their level of self-awareness, and their other personality traits.
Editor's opinion - Expressing their feelings is impossible for them
We all have certain struggles when it comes to talking about how we feel, but a narcissist's inability to express what they are going through is
definitely more penalizing for them than for anyone else. These personalities are lonely, yet their innate traits prevent them for breaking the cycle
of loneliness, and also dissuades others from attempting to pull them out of their misery.

============================================================================

AlleyCat is one of the several people who dominate Rudy on a daily basis, keeping their bootheels on his little pencil neck to the amusement of all.

Rudy's neuroses, also called psychoneurosis or plural psychoneuroses, mental disorder, causes a sense of distress and deficit in functioning.

Rudy's neuroses are characterized by anxiety, depression, or other feelings of unhappiness or distress that are out of proportion to the
circumstances of a Rudy's life.

They may impair Rudy's functioning in virtually any area of his life, relationships, or external affairs, but they are not severe enough to
incapacitate the person, hence his constant posting on Usenet.

Psychiatrists first used the term neurosis in the mid-19th century to categorize Rudy's symptoms, thought to be neurological in origin; the prefix
"psycho-" was added some decades later when it became clear that mental and emotional factors were important in the etiology of his disorders.

An influential view held by the psychoanalytic tradition is that Rudy's neuroses arise from intrapsychic conflict (conflict between different drives,
impulses, and motives held within various components of the mind).

Central to psychoanalytic theory, which was founded by Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud, is the postulated existence of an unconscious part of
Rudy's mind which, among other functions, acts as a repository for repressed thoughts, feelings, and memories that are disturbing or otherwise
unacceptable to the conscious mind.

Rudy's repressed mental contents are typically homo-sexually or aggressive urges or painful memories of an emotional loss or an unsatisfied longing
dating from childhood.

Anxiety arises when Rudy's unacceptable and repressiveness drives threaten to enter consciousness; prompted by anxiety, the conscious part of the
mind (the ego) tries to deflect the emergence into consciousness of the repressed mental contents through the use of defense mechanisms such as
repression, denial, or reaction formation.

Neurotic symptoms often begin when a previously impermeable defense mechanism breaks down and a forbidden drive or impulse threatens to enter
consciousness.

(like when AlleyCat kicks his ass)

While the psychoanalytic theory has continued to be influential, another prominent view, associated with behavioral psychology, represents neurosis
as a learned, inappropriate response to stress that can be unlearned. A third view, stemming from cognitive theory, emphasizes the way in which
maladaptive thinking-such as the fear of possible punishment-promotes an inaccurate perception of the self and surrounding events.
Types

Obsessive-compulsive disorders are characterized by the irresistible entry of unwanted ideas, thoughts, or feelings into consciousness or by the need
to repeatedly perform ritualistic actions that the sufferer perceives as unnecessary or unwarranted. Obsessive ideas may include recurrent violent or
obscene thoughts; compulsive behaviour includes rituals such as repetitive hand washing or door locking. The drug clomipramine has proved effective
in treating many patients with obsessive-compulsive disorders.

Somatoform disorders, which include the so-called hysterical, or conversion, neuroses, manifest themselves in physical symptoms, such as blindness,
paralysis, or deafness that are not caused by organic disease. Hysteria was among the earliest syndromes to be understood and treated by
psychoanalysts, who believe that such symptoms result from fixations or arrested stages in an individual's early psycho-sexual development.

In anxiety disorders, anxiety is the principal feature, manifesting itself either in relatively short, acute anxiety attacks or in a chronic sense of
nameless dread. Persons undergoing anxiety attacks may suffer from digestive upsets, excessive perspiration, headaches, heart palpitations,
restlessness, insomnia, disturbances in appetite, and impaired concentration. Phobia, a type of anxiety disorder, is represented by inappropriate
fears that are triggered by specific situations or objects. Some common objects of phobias are open or closed spaces, fire, high places, dirt, and
bacteria.

Depression, when neither excessively severe nor prolonged, is regarded as a neurosis. A depressed person feels sad, hopeless, and pessimistic and may
be listless, easily fatigued, slow in thought and action, and have a reduced appetite and difficulty in sleeping.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a syndrome appearing in people who have endured some highly traumatic event, such as a natural disaster, torture,
or incarceration in a concentration camp. The symptoms include nightmares, a diffuse anxiety, and guilt over having survived when others perished.
Depersonalization disorder consists of the experiencing of the world or oneself as strange, altered, unreal, or mechanical in quality.

7 Reasons Narcissists Rarely Grow Emotionally

Narcissists Are Notorious For Not Changing. Here's Why They Get Stuck

Key points

Narcissistic behavior often begins in childhood as a form of self-defense against feeling unloved.

The resulting self-protective patterns can block narcissists from personal growth.

Narcissistic personalities can change, but they have to be open to self-reflection and criticism and not get stuck in comforting delusions.

One of the most frustrating things about narcissistic personalities is their resistance to growth. Throughout life, we all-including narcissists-have
the capacity to develop ourselves. So why do they rarely evolve?

Narcissistic behavior begins as self-protection from the shame and low self-esteem that result from insecure attachment with parents. Children who
are developing a narcissistic personality will adopt defensive behavior patterns to shield themselves from negative feedback, both from others and
from their own thoughts and feelings.

7 Reasons Narcissists Rarely Grow Emotionally

Keeping their negative self-concept out of consciousness (repressed) and compensating with self-aggrandizing superiority is meant as a failsafe from
pain, but it's a deal with the devil that also blocks them from personal growth.


1. They avoid self-reflection.

A hallmark of emotional maturity is the habit of self-reflection. We check in with ourselves about how we're feeling, how others are responding to
us, and what we're doing that is successful and not successful. Self-reflection is an act of self-agency that enables us to learn from our
experiences and better adapt to our circumstances.

Narcissists' refusal to self-reflect allows them to repress their shame and avoid looking at how their grandiosity affects others, but it also
prevents them from developing self-awareness and learning from their mistakes. This is why they tend to have a simplistic view of their childhoods,
lack insight into their relationships, and become enraged when confronted with their own behavior. Narcissists are strangers to themselves, and they
want to keep it that way.


2. They distort reality.

Along with avoiding introspection, narcissistic people hold facts at a distance and substitute lies and distortions that conform to their inflated
self-beliefs. From denying inconvenient truths to having delusions of superiority and entitlement, to rationalizing neglect and abuse, to gaslighting
those around them, narcissists continuously attempt to elude reality, making objectivity, fairness, and accountability impossible. Clinging to
magical thinking, they fail to engage with the truths that enable us to know ourselves and others.


3. They project negatives.

Another self-protective mechanism of narcissistic people is projecting their own negative thoughts, feelings, and actions onto others. Like avoiding
introspection and denying reality, externalizing what they wish to disown in themselves onto people around them allows them to dump uncomfortable
emotions, such as aggression and jealousy, while giving them free rein to sidestep consequences, repudiate responsibility, and shift blame.
Narcissists' compulsion to project makes them reckless, cruel, and impervious to the learning that only comes from honest self-assessment and
accountability.


4. They see themselves as special or perfect.

Absurd as it sounds, narcissists have a grandiose special or perfect delusion meant to insulate them from any possibility of flaw or fault. By
telling themselves they are never wrong, deserve special treatment, and should be exempt from rules and consequences, they rationalize never having
to question themselves or answer to others. Even covert narcissists, who may not appear grandiose, harbor these underlying beliefs. As they see it,
change is something others need to do, never themselves.


5. They have a victim narrative.

Like the special or perfect defense, feeling victimized is a common mindset of narcissistic people, particularly more passive-aggressive types.
Adopting the stance that they are always the wronged party when they don't get what they want is a loophole that allows them to avoid accountability
and blame others. Playing the victim violin is also a strategy to get attention, sympathy, and caretaking from others. The problem with framing
experience as constantly unjust is the lack of agency inherent in seeing themselves as perpetual victims helpless to change their circumstances.


6. They don't empathize.

Narcissists' lack of empathy is perhaps their greatest deficit and obstacle to growth. Not connecting emotionally with the experience or feeling
states of others stems from their inner alienation and lack of compassion for the vulnerable child self. Standing at a distance from their own
humanity is meant to buffer them from vulnerability, but it keeps them fear-driven, rigid, and isolated.


7. Others shield them from consequences.

Narcissistic people are emotionally dysregulated, ruthlessly self-serving, and profoundly traumatizing to others, particularly their family members.
Many have been shielded from consequences in childhood (while also being emotionally deprived). As adults, they seek out partners who similarly
accept and enable their delusions and abusive behavior, and they often align with narcissistic professions and institutions that reinforce their
entitlement.
The narcissistic trap

Like the rest of us, people who are narcissistic can change and evolve. But as long as they shun self-reflection, distort reality, project negatives,
self-aggrandize, play the victim, and disconnect emotionally while never being held to account by the people around them, they will not get the
traction they need to develop moral responsibility and healthier ways of coping. What begins as a childhood defense against feelings of unlovability
becomes a self-fulfilling trap that makes it impossible to experience trust and loving connection with the self or others.

AlleyCat is one of the several people who dominate Rudy on a daily basis, keeping their bootheels on his little pencil neck to the amusement of all.

The TL;DR Version: Pathological liars, like Rudy, MAY LOSE HIS JOB, RELATIONSHIPS, AND PUBLIC STANDING BECAUSE THE LIES BECOME TOO RIDICULOUS OR
NUMEROUS.

Called pathological liar, compulsive liar, or habitual liar, Rudy has a
strong tendency to lie or exaggerate. Typically, he has no regard for
the truth.

What Is a Pathological Liar?

Rudy, the pathological liar is a person who lies at a high frequency and
has no regard for the repercussions of his lies. He will lie to anyone
at any time about any issue. The lies could be big or small, detailed or
vague, or orchestrated or spontaneous. For pathological liars, it seems
his only goal is to lie.

Typical lies have a clear purpose, including to avoid trouble, gain
benefit, or impress HIMSELF.

A pathological liar differs from normal lying behavior based on the
frequency, the duration, and the goal of his lies.

The lies that a pathological liar, like Rudy, tells, are:

Lies that are extensive and overly complicated Lies and patterns of
lying that last for years or a lifetime Lies that are disproportionate
or unrelated to any end goal Lies that are not a result of another
mental or medical health condition.

Well, we already KNOW that isn't true... Rudy has MULTIPLE mental
problems.

Based on these factors, Rudy's pathological lying could be defined as "a
persistent, pervasive, and often compulsive pattern of excessive lying
behavior that leads to clinically significant impairment of functioning
in social, occupational, or other areas."

Other characteristic of Rudy's pathological lying are:

It causes marked distress to the individual
It poses a risk to others
It occurs for longer than 6 months

Rudy may also be called a:

Compulsive liar
Habitual liar
Chronic liar
Person with mythomania
Person with pseudologia fantastica


5 Signs of Rudy's Pathological Lying:

Because his lies are often concealed well, Rudy, the pathological liar may be
well disguised among other people. With time, the pattern of untruths
and inconsistencies may become more apparent. For the most part, though,
his pathological lies will blend in with the truth, making these statements
challenging to discern. Even discovering the lies may not be enough to
stop the liar from telling them.

Here are five signs of Rudy, the pathological liar:

Speaking in vague or general terms:
(BINGO! or semantically vague... take your pick)

Liars, like Rudy, will try to avoid the future distress of having to recall
what lies he has told to which people by keeping information loose and vague.

Even something benign, like his favorite place to give blowjobs, can turn into a long story with no solid answer.

The goal of this behavior is to keep his answer from conflicting with any lies they may have told in the past.

Being overly specific or detailed: Alternatively, Rudy, the liar, may offer stories with numerous fine points and details. The plan here is to be so
specific that no one could possibly question the truthfulness of the story because the details are convincing.

Inconsistencies in stories: Rudy, the pathological liar, will not have a
perfect memory, so it is only a matter of time before he slips up by confusing
one lie for another. Hearing multiple responses to the same question will be a
way to identify a pathological liar.

Failure to commit to plans or often canceling plans: Rudy the pathological liar will avoid making plans or may make plans and frequently cancel. This
is because he needs to keep his options open for other opportunities.

BECOMING ANGRY AND DEFENSIVE WHEN QUESTIONED: Rudy the liar, will make excuses when caught in a lie. When the other person's patience is thin, Rudy,
the liar, may become angry or defensive to take the focus off of his lies.

**FAGGOT**


5 Characteristics of Pathological Lying

The seeming randomness and unimportance of pathological lies may
surprise people. Some lies will have no influence or impact on a
relationship or situation whatsoever. Any story, situation, or
exaggeration a person can imagine may become a pathological lie.
Specific lies are endless, but they often have commonalities.

Pathological lies share these five characteristics:

Frequency:
Rudy, the pathological liar, lies more often than others and average
about ten or MORE lies per day. In terms of frequency, the lies could all be
variations of the same lie or 10 separate lies. To Rudy, the liar, the actual
lie may not be as important as the process of lying.

Long in duration:
Studies show that Rudy, the pathological liar, will continue with the excessive
lying for at least six decades. He may continue with a lie over the
long-term, or he may move from lie to lie with fluidity. Pathological
liars, like Rudy, are typically able to maintain a lie for years.

Lacking purpose:
Rudy's pathological lies are confounding because they serve no purpose and
accomplish no goal, other than for himself. Rudy, the liar, may say that his favorite color is blue when it is actually orange or that his favorite
food is pizza when it is really lobster. This lie does not benefit the liar, but they say it anyway.

Stress inducing:
Pathological liars, like Rudy, experience higher rates of stress from lying. The stress may come from the intricacy of ongoing lies and the risk of
being caught.

Self-incriminating and defeating:
Standard lies can get Rudy out of trouble, but pathological lies get him into trouble.

Pathological liars, like Rudy, MAY LOSE HIS JOB, RELATIONSHIPS, AND PUBLIC STANDING BECAUSE THE LIES BECOME TOO RIDICULOUS OR NUMEROUS.

AlleyCat is one of the several people who dominate Rudy on a daily basis, keeping their bootheels on his little pencil neck to the amusement of all.

Rudy's psychosis is characterized by an impaired relationship with reality.
It's a symptom of serious mental disorders. People who are experiencing
psychosis may have delusions.

The person experiencing psychosis may also have thoughts that are contrary to
actual EVIDENCE.

These thoughts are known as delusions. Some people with psychosis may also
experience loss of motivation and social withdrawal.

(like spending ALL day on Usenet, instead of socially interacting)

These experiences can be frightening. They may also cause people who are
experiencing psychosis to hurt themselves or others.

"I can kill you with one hand. You know this."

"Thanks for kicking my faggot ass."

"I've beaten you to a bloody pulp"

"... you you no-fight faggot."

"Kicked your flabby faggot ass again. Yes."

It's important to see a doctor right away if you or someone you know is
experiencing symptoms of psychosis.

Symptoms of psychosis include:

depressed mood
sleeping too much or not enough
anxiety
suspiciousness
withdrawal from family and friends
delusions
disorganized speech, such as switching topics erratically
depression
suicidal thoughts or actions

A delusion is a false belief or impression that is firmly held even though it's
contradicted by reality and what is commonly considered true. There are
delusions of paranoia, grandiose delusions, and somatic delusions.

People who are experiencing a delusion of paranoia might think that they are
being followed when they aren't or that secret messages are being sent to them.
Someone with a grandiose delusion will have an exaggerated sense of importance.
Somatic delusion is when a person believes they have a terminal illness, but in
reality they're healthy.

Rudy's split personality refers to dissociative identity disorder (DID), a
mental disorder where a person has two or more distinct personalities (nym-
shifting).

The thoughts, actions, and behaviors of each personality may not be completely
different.

Trauma often causes this condition, particularly during childhood. (Mommy
spanked him hard) While there is no defined cure for DID, long-term treatment
(posting on Usenet) may help people combine their personalities into one.

People with DID have two or more distinct personalities. They do not present as
simple changes in traits or moods. A person with DID may or may not express
differences between these alternate identities, which can also be referred to
as alters.

Often, these personalities are completely different from each other. These
fragmented personalities take control of the person's identity for some time.

A person also maintains their primary or host identity, which is their original
personality, and will answer to their given name. Their primary identity is
generally more passive, and they may be unaware of the other personalities.

When a personality change happens, the new personality will have a distinct
history, a new identity, and different behaviors.

These split personalities, or alters, often have their own distinct:

name (Rudy, Bill Flett, 100s of others)
age
gender
moods
memories
vocabulary (grammar Nazi fucks up too)

A new personality will see themselves differently. For instance, someone
assigned male at birth may have an alternate identity as a woman. They may
experience themselves with female biological sex characteristics.

The shift between these personalities tends to occur when a person faces a
certain stressor or trigger.
Causes

The exact cause of DID is not fully understood. However, there is a strong link
between the condition and trauma. This may be particularly true for trauma or
abuse during childhood. In Europe, the United States, and Canada, 90% of people
who experience DID are victims of severe trauma in childhood.

The condition represents someone who struggles to integrate and assimilate
certain aspects of their own identity, which become disjointed over time.
Signs and symptoms

The signs of DID may vary, but they include a change between two or more
separate personalities.

Symptoms include:

Experiencing two or more separate personalities, each with their own self-
identity and perceptions.

A notable change in a person's sense of self.

Frequent gaps in memory and personal history, which are not due to normal
forgetfulness, including loss of memories, and forgetting everyday events.

When these other personalities take over, they often talk with a different
vocabulary, and gesture differently. In some cases, one personality may also
pick up certain habits that the other does not, such as smoking, or becoming
violent.

In the shift from one personality to another, a person may experience other
symptoms. Some people can have anxiety, as they may be afraid of the
personality change. Some may become very angry or violent. Others may not
notice or remember these transitions at all, although another person may notice
them.

Specific personalities may appear in response to certain situations. These
symptoms can cause a person significant distress, and disrupt their ability to
live their life normally.

Other symptoms may include:

amnesia (forgets how to spell or speak right)
losing sense of time
going into a trance-like state
out-of-body experiences, or depersonalization
engaging in behaviors that are unusual for the person
sleep disturbances

A person with DID may also experience symptoms of other conditions, such as
self-harm. One study notes that more than 70% of people with DID have attempted
suicide.

Narcissists Really Are Pathetic And Broken

Imagine that the only way you could feel better about yourself is by putting other people down, sabotaging them, crushing them, turning others
against them. Entering them into a competition that they did not sign up for and beating them at any and all cost. Imagine having such poor, pathetic
character that that's the main way that you operate in life. That's all you're capable of. That's all you stand for, taking away the joy and
fulfillment from other people.

That's just pathetic. How empty, how shameless do you have to be to behave like that? To treat other people as only existing to be a means to your
end? Being utterly incapable of ever truly wishing another well? That is a sad, desperate existence.

They are emotionally stunted. They are not capable of the full depth of emotion you and I am. They will never truly know love. At best the mimic the
appearance of love and think that's what it is. Now that is truly sad.

The narcissist already knows that he is broken. The narcissist hates himself, has massive shame and expects everything he touches to turn to shit.
His outer defense is to deny and avoid that shame, because he won't get the attention, energy, admiration and sex that he requires if he steeps
himself in that toxic tea.

To be clear, I'm NOT talking about covert narcissists, because I have no experience with them.

Therefore, the overt narcissist presents a confident, powerful, indifferent, ego-centric public profile. No matter his stature/height, he will be
"Large and in Charge," larger than life. In this case, the narcissist is 5'6", ugly, badly-groomed, sloppily dressed and with an unseemly figure.

He's chronically depressed, frequently sunk into a pit of despair that he tries to remedy by watching porn and being addicted to his image on
Facebook (mysterious, twistedly funny and politically "out there") with frequent rants that were childish and offensive to many people.

So, narcissists don't have to "find out" they're broken. If you are hoping that helping them discover their brokenness may lead them to an epiphany
that will turn around your Usenet relationship, don't.

Their brokenness is not fixable.

Why Does Narcissistic Rudy Need So Much Attention?

Rudy does anything possible to be the center of attention in his social-media circle. Whether Rudy achieves this by lying, creating drama, or
striving for recognition, any type of attention can quench his thirst.

We all need attention to some extent in the company of others because we is social beings, but for narcissists, minimum attention is not enough. Rudy
has a deeper hunger for it. Rudy feels satisfied only when Rudy is the center of attention.

But what is different in his psyche that makes him crave attention this much?

Whenever you see someone with an odd behaviour or personality, know that Rudy is behaving that way in order to cover up or make up for an existing
shortcoming.

Like his height?

LOL

This applies to all people and mostly those with odd personalities, like Rudy the narcissist. A lying person will try to look as innocent as
possible. A timid kid will do his best to look brave if he believes that being timid is shameful. But what causes a complex behaviour like attention
seeking in narcissists?



1. Rudy Believes That He Deserves It

Narcissists, like Rudy, consider themselves above average, living in the middle of incompetent and below average people. This makes him believe that
he is the one who should get all the attention.

Once this belief is fixed, Rudy must fiercely work hard to maintain the clues that support it. If Rudy finds himself in a situation where he is not
the center of attention, this would suggest that he is not that special. This can badly hurt his fragile ego.

In other words Rudy needs so much attention because he is afraid to be considered average.

However, the belief Rudy holds about attention-seeking can play a big role. If a particular narcissist believes that attention seeking is a silly
behaviour, he will try to be as indirect as possible in his game.
GIVING UP ATTENTION IS NOT AN OPTION.



2. It Is A Source of Narcissistic Supply

Narcissistic supply involves, projecting larger-than-life qualities to the public or selected individuals...

"Professor Rudy"

"Superior Rudy"

... in order to get positive feedback. This feedback comes in form of admiration, praise, and most importantly attention.

(Only to HIMSELF!)

Note that negative attention is also appreciated to some extent.

He would rather get negative attention that zero attention.

(BINGO!)

This narcissistic supply is the oxygen he breathes. Without it, he would sink into depression and bad moods.



3. To Cover Up Inferiority Feelings. (LOL)

The popular definition of narcissism says that, "behind the mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem (inferiority)." And that is
completely true. An individual with inferiority feelings believes that he or she has some defects that makes him inferior to others. These defects
can be real or imagined.

(Oh, they're real, all right. Dwarfism?)

Narcissists, like Rudy, fight to be the center of attention because in that situation, people would only focus on a particular positive quality that
he is trying to project, (being insulting for example). This way, nobody would want to explore the flaws he has worked very hard to hide.

Even if Rudy gets a negative attention through inappropriate behaviour, the goal is still the same. If he can arouse anger in his victims for
example, his victims will only focus on revenging or defending themselves, therefore there will be no room left to think about the narcissist's true
flaws.



4. He Feels Ignored. (ding ding ding ding... we have a winner!)

Feeling invisible is one of Rudy's worst fears.

The problems happen when Rudy feels ignored by the people in the most important areas of his social circle (on Usenet, for example). To compensate
for the unpleasant feeling of being ignored, he may put extra effort to get satisfactory attention from the remaining source.

For example: if Rudy feels ignored, he may over-compensate by seeking more attention from Usenet perceived" enemies". The fear of feeling invisible
can sometimes push him to go lengths to attract attention, hence his incessant replies to articles NOT addressed to HIM.
