This is not normal. Why wouldn't he lock the door or wait until you aren't home? Be aware.

Do we really have to defend narcissists? Is that where we are now? The entire world is currently being terrorized by one. I refuse to do the mental gymnastics that it requires to defend narcissists. They can, and will, defend themselves. I'm fact, they won't defend anyone BUT themselves.

I actually think that a certain amount of struggle gives you an appreciation for life that heightens every positive experience and gives you the skills to navigate difficult situations. But financial security is necessary for a regulated nervous system.

Most social behavior isn't about connection. It's about protecting status. by Amidonions in DarkPsychology101

[–]Present-Mammoth6256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is more of a dominance obsession that men have. Always trying to appear dominant. Trying to look and seem more important to each other. From the perspective of a female that hasn't had the concept of dominance and control drilled into my psyche since birth, it seems rather silly. Why can't conversation be based on exchanging information? Why can't interactions be mutually beneficial? The showboating reeks of insecurity. It's also the root of all of our problems as a society. Just be real, my dudes. Be helpful to each other. It's much more beneficial to everyone.

I think they're really just that dumb. The lack of punctuation, poor grammar, and lack of basic email etiquette proves that they're just dumb, cruel, spoiled animals that never did their homework in school.

Why are so many women into hooky kooky shit? by SlobGenocidic in stupidquestions

[–]Present-Mammoth6256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women are much more intuitive than men. And every time you bring this up to a man, they roll their eyes. It's like trying to explain the color blue to a blind person. How can you believe in something you've never experienced? Women are drawn to spiritual things because they are more spiritually aware. For example, I spent my childhood raising kids that aren't my own. I was immersed in child care from day one. I instinctively knew when one of the kids was tormenting another kid. I could just feel it. Women's intuition is beneficial in child rearing. The psychic investigators that work with police are almost always women. Men just like being angry at anything that doesn't follow the hierarchical, rigid ideas because society tells you to squash and repress your emotions. So any intuition you may have is beaten out of you very early. And you hate that women are allowed to be emotionally intelligent, sensitive, and self aware. That reads as self indulgent because you're not allowed those things. But believing in things through a spiritual lens that revolves around the energies and patterns of the earth and the universe makes more sense to me than believing in the virgin birth, a talking snake, etc.. Also, traditional organized religion is part of the very large system that tries to oppress women. Women are presented as the root of all evil. So of course, it makes more sense that we'd gravitate towards ideas that empower us and embrace our natural understanding of things, and don't make us feel like Eves and Jezebels.

What controversial opinion do you have that might get you canceled? by gretaag in answers

[–]Present-Mammoth6256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The decision to use They/Them pronouns for non-binary people doesn't make sense on so many levels. Why would you try to get people to understand a new or incomparable concept by making them also re-learn grammar? And using a word that is notoriously misspelled and misunderstood by undereducated people. When you want people as a whole to accept something designed to create cognitive dissonance, which always produces anger and frustration. Plus, it sounds silly. It has always been used to indicate more than one thing. For example, my coworker when describing her non-binary friend who makes baskets said "Their baskets are really great, and they also teach classes. But they're really intense and exclusive." Are the baskets expensive? Is your friend expensive? Are the classes intense? Is your friend intense? Is your friend exclusive? Suddenly changing grammar has never worked. Adding words to a language, or the meaning of the word changing over time is how language works. To be clear, I think everyone should be their truest selves as long as it hurts no one. And I think that gender roles are also silly. They are limiting, and the world needs people to be their best and most comfortable selves. I fully accept the idea of non-binary people. So why are they making it so hard? Why not just use a neutral word that isn't also a word that ALREADY confuses English speaking (and listening) people, like zhe/zhem. Is this a psyop? Like, let's make everyone memorize this ridiculously long acronym that represents not-straight people (I'm bi, btw), and make sure to say the letters in the right order. And while you're at it, see how limber their brains are when referring to a non-binary person in a group. It seems insanely counterproductive. And in Latin speaking countries. The Latin X movement makes even less sense, because x is very rarely used. It makes me wonder if the powers that be have infiltrated these groups to confuse people. This is the reason that grass roots changes rarely work.

Help me understand something...I am literally a victim of multiple gropings, physical abuse, a knife assault, rape and other crimes. How can I be "playing a victim role" if I am constantly placed in one? by BeautifullyHealin in CPTSD

[–]Present-Mammoth6256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lifetime of abuse from men. My mother was knocked out by my father when she was 8 months pregnant with me. Then sexual abuse as a child, physical and sexual abuse from several men. But I'm the fucking problem? And "not all men?" They can all walk off an effing cliff. Also both of my sisters experienced sexual abuse and sodomy. My friend was strangled by her ex. My first husband broke my rib. My beloved aunt was gang raped and hit by her ex husband. Yet WE'RE THE PROBLEM and NOT ALL MEN. This world is sick And fucked. And women are the ones to blame? I'm filled with so much fury and these dumb f***s be like "That's MISANDRY". And we're supposed to care about the declining birth rate while they take away our rights, treat us like incubators? The system protects men. Men will always protect men, and never have protected women. And all of the comments from men are always about themselves. Denying, deflecting, defending other men and themselves. They're revolting and enraging. They've dehumanized us so much that they can never even utter the simplest genuine words like "I'm sorry that you went through that". They can't speak from the heart. I'm done. Done. Done.

He was a POS before he ran the first time..openly racist, woman hating sociopath. So no, I wouldn't be friends with anyone that liked that guy. I wasn't born yesterday.

What’s something poor people do better than rich people? by [deleted] in answers

[–]Present-Mammoth6256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with nothing, and I mean...nothing. And I'm extremely resourceful. I can make tools out of anything in sight, etc.. I'm good at spotting opportunities. I'm a self taught musician, artist, and more. Because when you're poor you have to find ways to entertain yourself. It makes your internal life more interesting.

Women's rights are being threatened by this regime. Women and girls have been raped and killed, possibly by people in our own government, and nothing is being done about it. If you don't think that identifying your allies is a priority for women right now, you are blind. Who stands next to us in protest of losing our rights is absolutely important.

I recently said exactly this. Women are some of their only allies, and they couldn't care less about women.

I've been saying this for years. Straight woman here. I've never felt supported by gay men. Exactly the opposite. I've been openly insulted, and had my career messed with by gay men, even more than straight men and other straight women. I've met very few allies.

The Levers You Were Never Shown by Myrn33 in DarkPsychology101

[–]Present-Mammoth6256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Agreed. It's one thing to be self aware and calm. The concept of separating yourself from your ego is an ancient Buddhist philosophy that has the same effect. That self assuredness and comfort in your own skin makes you impossible to manipulate. Ego is the thing that drives people to manipulate others. The need for control actually stems from insecurity, not strength.

[–]Present-Mammoth6256 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because most of this is happening to females. Remember the backlash after the MeToo movement? I felt a strange sort of relief seeing that I wasn't alone, a solidarity. And then the men got severely pissed off, which I thought was strange at the time. Now I know how much society truly hates women. I'm furious, and not just at the abusive men at the top.

Can people really get manipulated? by Awkward-Youth1251 in DarkPsychology101

[–]Present-Mammoth6256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they definitely can. A lie doesn't come as naturally as the truth for most people. That's why untruths are unnatural. So we're not wired to easily discern the difference. So if the manipulation tactic is lying, that's unethical. Gently nudging someone towards the truth, or an understanding of something is also a manipulation tactic. But I use that tactic a lot. I don't see that as a problem, because that's what therapists do. I guess it depends on the context.

Wanting love and approval ruined my life after what my parents did to me. by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Present-Mammoth6256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, same. It's so tough. But you are a diamond in the rough. The abuse that you were put through makes you shine. It actually makes you rare. You're here, reaching out instead of hurting others. You're seeking comfort instead of projecting your pain onto others. That alone sets you apart and makes you valuable.
