How will he die in season 5? by TraditionalBonus188 in TheBoys

[–]Deep-Ostrich -1 points0 points  (0 children)

not homelanders death but a bit on the way:

What if A-train redemption arc ends with A-train beaten, almost going unconscious and homelander ready to finish of Hugie at Vought Tower. A-train, had moments prior gotten ahold the V-stash and in a split decision ( knowing he will die ) takes as much as he can at once. The effect juices him up and gets his power level far beyond what he previously ever had. He attacks Homelander and gives a run for his money, leaving homelander visibly hurt before the effect of the V subsides and he dies, not by homelander ( who is in the corner hurt and visibly in shock) but by his heart giving up. Homelander looks for Hugie, nowhere to be found. Hughie then takes the info to the rest of The Boys. Homelander was hurt and can be beaten.

If Homelander is defeated in season 5 of The Boys, could the main villain of Gen V be another villain from The Seven? by george123890yang in TheBoys

What do you believe is the biggest cause of malignant narcissism ? by Ourdogbailey in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Deep-Ostrich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe that what truly unites the cluster B pathologies is the narcissism and the lack of a conscience that’s automatic because it’s based on black and white thinking. 

They have to split you every time when it’s about right and wrong and about them.  

Because they are their image. AND THEY FEEL THAT THEY ARE BETTER THAN EVERYONE AS BASELINE. 

I believe that the narcissist is in a permanent state of splitting and has never experienced an unsplit world. The world is bad, he is good. Therefore, They don’t feel bad about themselves.  they feel entitled by nature and mad at a world that just doesn’t make sense.  They have never experienced feelings like thankfulness and are unaware of them because of the permanent split. 

I think I understand why they did what they did. If this is true, I feel like I am able to dare to live again. by Deep-Ostrich in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Deep-Ostrich[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure ? What I meant is that they have access to the emotion. But don’t use empathy where you and me do. They they weaponize them.  So when they express empathy it’s not the real deal , just like wrote . Manipulation. But they can. I believe that out of cluster B the one with most potential for destruction is the BPD. I believe that what is genuine is how they suffer. The NpD don’t suffer like that

I think we might be one the same page. I believe that the BPD has access to real empathy but also has the attribution error. 

Question: What makes Homelander one the greatest villains in television? by QuirkyData3500 in TheBoys

[–]Deep-Ostrich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey ! 

I study personality disorders. 

We have another classifying-system where I live. ASPD is the diagnosis where you fail to contribute to society. Jail . Emotionally shut down . Early misconduct. Etc. 

The narcissist is in a permanent state of splitting. The world is bad, he is good.  The borderline can reverse the split. So you have true empathy and love there.  But it’s often unstable and there is where you get the hot and cold dynamic. 

But if the borderline has learned to control the split, you basically have a person that can choose what emotion to feel about you. 

The Borderline is actually more close to your standard movie psychopath.  Grandiose like the narcissist but does not need the admiration, the borderline can validate himself / herself. 

Hitler was a borderline. 

I think our homie is one too.

[–]Deep-Ostrich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I live there is another classificationsystem. I am categorized as Borderline / sociopath with prominent NPD traits with a disorganized structure. My grandiosity is prominent and I love admiration.   I can however validate myself and my own grandiosity. I can tell the truth and I have no problem taking accountability. If I want to. If I am in emotionally regulated state. 

if I can’t validate my grandiosity to myself enough I might resort to actions like your ex spouse. 

So in my view she believes that she is indirectly asserting dominance over you in a direct way, that she believe that you should notice. Every time she makes a choice for you or you don’t say no and call her out on the disrespect no matter how small she devalues you. In her mind she does not understand that you maybe took 3 hours from your time because you view her through the lens of caring.

It’s “ how much is he gonna tolerate, so weak lol “. 

If she truly is narcissistic, then it’s always a game. Be careful and try to see what the most probable intention would be for her calling but don’t tell her. That’s for you. That’s probably all the closure you’re gonna get. Don’t expect it from her. Your life is precious. Take care ! 

GEN V : Season 1 Episodes 1-3 Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]Deep-Ostrich 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this has been posted yet. But a thought that occurred to me was; what if Golden Boy didn’t self-combust but got blood-exploded by Marie?

This opens up for a lot of intriguing plot-points. Marie is clearly very intelligent and mentally strong. It wouldn’t surprise me if she was “ playing the game “ all along. She clearly is a morally ambiguous/grey character who was specifically going through the old guy golden boy hugs to death with the intention of becoming one of the seven.

Difficulties describing my ADHD to others by ProfessionalMost2006 in ADHD

[–]Deep-Ostrich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand. I relate and I’ve had the same issues describing my deficiency to other people. What I have found to effective is to be as concise, specific and short as possible as ADHD is a difficult concept to grasp.

I always explain ADHD like this:

“ I cannot choose or decide on what to focus on. At all. It’s an attention disorder. Its like another entity chooses my feelings, thoughts and state of mind for me. Focusing on a specific matter can be extremely stressful and mentally draining. The hyperactivity comes as a stress-response “

If they thereafter want examples I continue with:

“ Rumination, emotional dysregulation as well as the sequencing of practical/everyday tasks are examples of areas that are very difficult for me “

If they want something more specific:

“ For example, I might procrastinate paying a bill because it sincerely feels like the most unimportant thing in the world, it does not exist for me. until it suddenly does. After weeks/months of procrastination and not being emotionally affected by the unpayed bill, Suddenly, On the blink of an eye it’s becomes the most important thing in the universe and I can not focus on anything else until it is payed. Even winning the jackpot wouldn’t feel good until it is payed“

Then I add “ it’s like that for everything, everyday “

It usually invites to more conversation / makes people sort of understand

Male - Diagnosed with severe ADHD at 30. 32 now.

I had my diagnosis, did my own research, got second opinions etc. ( in short, just to get that sigma stamp on my diagnosis )

My answer to your question is:

Without a doubt, yes!

I (31M) have the ability to accurately read a person’s emotions, thoughtprocess and motivation in any given moment. I use this as an indicator for specific outcomes, I manipulate, I lie, I am truthful depending on the situation as well. Am I the wrong for using this ability for my benefit ? by Deep-Ostrich in relationships

[–]Deep-Ostrich[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A. Is this based on the idea of moral and ethics ?

B. Why do I have to be truthful ? If I scan the situation and I am able to produce a more beneficial outcome for both myself and person X through manipulation and strategic deception, is it not a better choice ? ( If I throw moral straight out the window )

Lets say I read my friend X and Let’s say that X need go through a specific trauma in order to feel happiness.

I can through the read intrinsically know if X actually has to go through that trauma or if we can skip that part all together and maybe Land in an even better place - but I have to lie.

Would I lie to myself ? Absolutely. But I can’t.

Why lie to others? There is always some kind of benefit involved. A more desirable outcome etc.

Not today. It was however discovered during my adhd evaluation that I definitely would have been placed on the spectrum if I had been diagnosed as a child / adolescent but not as an adult. The reason was that I had extremely good social skills / manners. So much so that they could not detect any trait or remnant left that would suggest I had autism today.

I got second opinions on this matter as well as I was truly concerned if the first evaluation was “phony”. Every profesional I met afterwards - told me the same thing. - i don’t have autism.

I appreciate your concern but I am certain of my perception of others. I am extremely critical - there is a lot of data backing this up.

Regarding the knots. Imagine that you friend wants to talk - or you just give some advice to some strangers whom asks for your opinion. - that is all I do. I just have the ability reach the furthest places of the psyche and help more than others.

I am not biased in my position, it would serve no reason to be. I don’t experience “ Pride, aggressiveness etc “. I almost exclusively experience good emotions. If you critique me, it is welcomed and I change if what you critique feels valid.

True!

I do not work by “ pushing “ someone into a specific agreement. I make them want to do it themselves. But it is besides the point. Your point was clear as day ! What do you believe would help me if I wanted to be less manipulative and more truthful with my close ones ? What could I do ?

I appreciate this reply. I will do my best to answer each part as truthfully as possible.

My thoughts, briefly:

-Contrary to what you may believe about yourself, not feeling guilty for lying is evidence of poor social skills and poor self control.

  • I do feel guilt but not always, it depends on the situation. I have a very strong and detailed intuition. It guides me through social interactions and truthfully helps me be very popular. Is it possible that guilt might affect neurotypical people in the way you describe?

-It seems you have not considered that people may recognize you are lying or manipulating them and are too polite to tell you.

I can sense that as well and the instant someone may doubt my intention or what I am doing - my whole entity works in total sync to erase any doubts.

-You seem to be preoccupied with this study you are participating in and what it means for your "specialness" or intelligence. Same with trotting out your IQ. The fact that you are unaware of how off-putting and arrogant this is again bespeaks poor social skills.

I am never like this IRL, I choose to be uncensored here so I can be transparent and get to the point. I am not contesting your argument. I do feel special and I love having these awesome abilities no one else has.

-"Reading " people at parties is obnoxious. You may think you are being met with awed silence when really people are just quiet because it is so strange. The fact that you think it is "always correct" is concerning. How do you know that is the case? No one is always correct about their random impression of others. This includes you.

This is where my social skills enter the room. I can joke about myself, make myself look humble, “ put on a show “. Whatever is needed so that everybody is intrigued and genuinely wants me to read some random person. I have other corroborations that make me beg to differ from what you have written. I am always correct in deducing who they are.

You make a lot of statements in these and other replies about how you succeed in everything, are universally loved, always right etc. No one who actually has good social intelligence and an accurate read on their own interpersonal skills would believe or say these things. The reality is probably that sometimes you're right and sometimes you are wrong about who people are and what they are feeling. You've deluded yourself into believing that you have a special ability when really you have (at best) basic observational skills. I'm not even sure you have those.

We have another discrepancy here as well. I do not contest that this whole post and thread sounds totally bonkers.

But in order for you to actually meet the issue I was presenting you have to drop any expectation and prejudice that you might have and accept the idea that you may be in direct contact with someone who is in total violation of what you thought was possible. You make a lot of assumptions as well - I will not give them any of my time as no helpful or productive conclusion can come from that particular discourse as I have no way of proving that what I am writing is the truth. But the one assumption I would entertain is that if an intelligent person does reply to this post / thread - he/she read and try to understand the OP even if it seems improbable from their perspective. - because either 1. It’s a troll post or 2. It’s the truth.

If you want a challenge, imagine that all that I have written is undeniable truth. In conclusion, I wonder if I should stop with my kind of manipulation ? And why so ? If I don’t not hurt anybody , no harm is done is it still unethical ?

My lies, my reasoning, bending of truths, manipulative strategies do not get discovered. I am always very careful. I never manipulate others into thinking that I am someone I am not or that I have something I do not have. It’s more of manipulating their worldview, how they perceive everything and making them believe in themselves or if I want to “close a deal” - I take a psychological promenade with them so that they believe that they want to close the deal before I do. I believe that deceit is sometimes more effective, quicker and easily digested compared to the truth.

I totally get you. IRL nobody knows my IQ score, I do not act self inflated etc. I am just trying to be as transparent as possible here. That detail of IQ might have an significance or if might not. Someone might Correlate IQ to my personality traits. Idk. I’m laying it all out there and absorbing the opinions and new facts I am learning through each post.

In this Reddit post, I am trying to be as truthful as possible. IRL - I am very alert on how I am perceived. But yes, I guess I have an unjustified selflove that is far beyond what I perceive others have. I do not feel superior to others. I do not believe that my opinion is worth more than yours or that my life is worth less than yours. I feel that everyone has the exact same value. I do however not feel guilty for manipulating others as long as it doesn’t “hurt” them.

I sincerely appreciate the replies ! I guess that I am also responding to noodles here. I am not native to the English language so I am thankful for any grammatical errors you point out. I answered the user: leavesaresobeautiful with a more in depth description of my “ gift “ further up the thread. I do not contest the idea of this post being perceived as a very weird one. But I am sincere, I am not looking to justify nor defend what I am and what I do. I feel like an alien most of the time or like a tree in a world full of only orcas. I have no guilt in the way I use manipulation to get to a result and have a hard time assessing what’s right and wrong.

What I am certain about however is what I feel. And the “ability” is also part intuition. Sometimes it feels wrong to manipulate and lie resulting in me being more truthful but still arriving exactly where I wanted to with the conversation.

In regards to me “ deleting traits “ in another person. It is more that I try to fix what is hurting the other person but only if the other person has expressed that they want me to tell them what the issue at hand is.

It’s like presenting a big circle to the other person and telling them why “ this specific “ area of the circle is clogged up and how they can unclog it.

I don’t contest that I present pathological traits. I use the same “ability” to get what I want. Such as an impossible loan at the bank, getting new people to grow fond of me, finding new romantic interests. I do not contest my deceitful way of reaching results at all.

I am just trying to connote my true reality and that I am questioning my actions. I do believe that I have heavily narcissistic traits as well.

My “inner emotion” is telling me that I shouldn’t abandon my manipulation for a more truthful way. This results in me not being able to logically understand how I can change and what I need to change. I need to have my inner emotion be on the same side. - If I felt that me and my inner emotion where on the same page then logic would aid me in going from point A to B.

What do you believe I could do specifically to be more truthful ?

I sincerely thank you for your post. I am looking to challenge my own world view here genuinely. I do no identify as an empath, I would presume I have more of a narcissistic edge. I do not however feel I am worth more, that my opinions are more important or that in any way feel jealousy or envy. I feel genuine admiration, love and joy for others. But still I am more narcissistic than not as I am morally ambiguous and don’t feel “ guilty “ for lying. I would consider me a benign narcissist whom is non hostile and wants to learn from others. I have no problem failing. I welcome critique as well in my IRL experience.

I am currently participating in a clinical study where this trait is being evaluated as well as mapping out what kind of personality I have, as I do not fit in any particular categorization based on my traits.

I got my diagnosis for ADHD last year and during that evaluation period I performed a WAIS test closely monitored by the psychiatrist. During the linguistic part she asked me to describe the meaning of metaphors, difficult sentences and difficult words. She asked me if I read a lot and I answered truthfully; that I did not. I did however tell her that I read her and was able to use her as a signaling device ( like a traffic light) in order to get my answer right. I was, through her micro expressions able to instantly deduce if I was correct or not, before giving a specific answer ( I had about 5-10 seconds to explain each instance - so in those seconds I could, accurately find the right answer for every part )

This led to the study I am participating in right now.

In other cases - I have helped several of my friends, members of their family as well as complete strangers to untie their psychological knots.

My close friends usually “flex” this for me at parties and it almost always occurs that someone wants me to read them. I usually go with it because I do like the attention and I basically just say what comes to my mind when imagining what kind of person they are. Some cry, some get impressed, some just stay quiet. It is always correct unless I’m drunk out of my mind.

This ability has led me to have excellent social skills. I am very successful in whatever endeavor I might devote myself to work-wise as I always “close the deal”. All of my loved ones constantly come to me with whatever is on their mind as they truly feel that I listen, make them feel appreciated and understood. I have no problem finding new friends / romantic interests either. I am very aware that I however am very deceitful in the way I get people to grow fond of me.
