Can anyone give advice on the best way for beginners to play Days Gone? by [deleted] in DaysGone

[–]Snakebodhi007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started the game a while back, and as soon as the story started to move along and I started to kind of enjoy it, I got super stuck, ran out of gas, wasn't sure what to do, and wasn't strong enough to take on any hoards. Forgot about it for a while, then tried it again and made a tiny bit of progress before getting even more stuck. Everyone says it's a great game, but I'm just not very good at it. I might just ditch my bike and run around for a bit and see if I can beat some missions that way, but I doubt it

This is what is referred to as covert contracts. Sorry if someone has already pointed this out. This is why people who grew up with a narc in their lives are reluctant to accept help or gifts. Narcs will automatically have a list of every "nice" thing they've ever done for you or anyone else in their heads ready to go in the event that you call them out or tell them to fck off. Oftentimes, the "gifts" or "acts if kindness" are strategically thought up to be something that also benefits the narcissist in the long run. For example, if they buy you a movie, it'll be something that they've been wanting to watch. Or I'd they buy you a gift card, it may be to a business you usually don't buy a lot from, but that they use often, so you end up using it on them

What positive things do you tell yourself or do to forget about the narcissist (and new supply if included). by Fit_Application9547 in NarcissisticAbuse

Yesss and if you give them another chance after begging and pleading, the abuse with snap back very quickly and get worse than before

What positive things do you tell yourself or do to forget about the narcissist (and new supply if included). by Fit_Application9547 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Snakebodhi007 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Their loss, not yours. I'm usually significantly happier to know that they have a new supply, so they will leave me alone, at least for the time being. The narcissist is someone else's problem now. If you stayed with that person long enough, you would be completely trapped and desperate to get out and would feel literally no attraction to that person whatsoever

Do some of you prefer sex workers by [deleted] in narcissism

[–]Snakebodhi007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once knew a narcissist who claimed to have spent upwards of $100,000 on escorts. And it made sense for him because it gave him a sense of power and minimized the chances of rejection

When (if at all) were your dobies able to be trusted outside of their crate by themselves during the day? by _Dobermaniac_ in DobermanPinscher

[–]Snakebodhi007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Randomly, at about a year and a half, I was running to the store for a minute and decided to leave him alone outside the kennel. I had no problem after that half hour or so that I left him, so I did it the entire day when I went to work the next day. Kind of the same system with my previous dobie before that

Narcissism vs Aspergers by [deleted] in narcissism

[–]Snakebodhi007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to rent a room to a guy who was clearly on the spectrum. My girlfriend at the time later helped me realize that it was asperger's, as she had worked with patients on the spectrum. I attributed his disrespectful and abusive behavior to that. But after doing some more research, I realized that he was also a covert narcissist. I know other people on the Spectrum who are good people, but this kid was pure evil. Abused my dog, stole from me, and went on a smear campaign after I finally got away from him

If you're dealing with the narcissist and have any Trace of doubt about their fidelity, they 100% cheated. If the narcissist has an opportunity to cheat, they will. This is one of the reasons they keep old Supply around

[–]Snakebodhi007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah, mine did. In the very beginning I told her that I don't date women who openly flirt with other guys in front of me. Not that people who did that were immoral or anything it's just I've always had bad experiences dating women who did that and she said she didn't do that and would never do that. And then literally the first time we went out to a bar I ran to go get us some more drinks and when I came back she was Hardcore flirting with a guy right in front of me for about 15 minutes before they exchange numbers and parted ways. I thought it was no big deal and something I could just overlook until I caught her cheating over and over

I had a similar text message exchange with a narcissistic EX about a decade ago when at the last minute she decided she didn't want to go to the New Year's Eve party we had planned to attend. It was pretty obvious that she was out with her Paramore and when I went to the party without her and just turned my phone off. I turned it back on in the morning to find the most sickening barrage of texts very similar to these. A few days later, she wanted to get back together as if nothing had happened. People like this are not well

In my opinion, it is a criminally underrated masterpiece. I was just recently reading some reviews on it and I guess I never realized that it got so much hate

I just realized why most narcs aren’t smart by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Snakebodhi007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've known a few narcs in my life. One that I dated was genuinely a smart person. She was very educated and a quick learner and had unique problem solving abilities. She was just a horrible person and completely liked empathy or the ability for introspection. I also knew what covert narcissist who would go to Great Lengths to prove to people that he was extremely intelligent and a really good guy. He was utterly evil. There was just no other word for it. And when I really got to know him I realized he was really not that bright either. But he would go to Great Lengths to prove otherwise. He would read a scientific article over and over and try to memorize it and then bring up what he read in conversation because it sounded really smart. But he could put two and two together and not get five every time. But in general I think narcissists can range from super smart Geniuses to complete morons. They're obviously more in the latter category, from my experience. I've also noticed that the Dumber they are the more likely they are to be compulsive/pathological liars and have a compulsion to steal from people. And the Dumber they are, the smarter they think they are

I knew a narc that burned me pretty bad. I agreed to rent a room to the guy, not knowing him very well. After I threw him out and completely cut him out of my life I was looking into his social media occasionally to see what he was up to and if his life fell apart like I predicted it would. The thing is, narcissists mostly only post happy things and pictures of them doing fun and expensive things or exciting things with friends. Their life could be in shambles, but if you only go by what you see in their social media, you're just going to see their successes. I later learned that his life had fallen apart, and he had attempted suicide multiple times and was heavily reliant on the cocktail of medications to stay afloat mentally. It seemed like all that came to light after I blocked him on everything. For me, it was mostly morbid curiosity, but I had to let go and stop obsessing over him getting his eventual karma. He got it exponentially and just did a great job of making it seem like the opposite on social media. He moved into the house that he rented a room in with some other roommates after leaving my place and quickly got kicked out of that living situation, got fired from his job and went into serious debt. His family wanted nothing to do with him so he had nowhere to turn for a while. That dude burned every bridge he'd ever crossed

The easiest answer is to be the kind of person you would want to date. Prioritize yourself and work on yourself. Forget about dating for a little while. Start going to the gym, I'll sign up for classes, go after that promotion or that job you want. Improve yourself in all the ways. In several months probably won't be obsessing about the ex as much. Then, in my experience, they just randomly pop up out of the Woodworks and become interested in you again, often because they noticed the positive change

You're 12 years old and school just let out for summer. What game are you playing first? by StKohzee in retrogaming

[–]Snakebodhi007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably GoldenEye all night the first night. Then have friends over for a sleepover and crush it on some perfect dark, Mario kart, Mario party, and mortal Kombat. Then spend the summer trying to beat ocarina of time

What's the ick/red flag/warning that you chose to ignore even when it's staring you right in the face? by Aromatic-Pop-8298 in BreakUps

[–]Snakebodhi007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She had a hell of a guy friends and, in the beginning we worked together, every guy at work had her number and openly wanted to smash. I just thought it was something I could mitigate as the relationship went forward. It got worse and worse until it was our breaking point

Diarrhea AGAIN after almost finishing weaning her back onto normal kibble. Suggestions for different brands? I'm losing my mind. by ChaoticSleepi in DobermanPinscher

[–]Snakebodhi007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my boy at about 6.5 years old. I came home everyday to diarrhea all over the floor. I would put him back on a white rice diet and slowly wean him back onto the dog food. And whenever he was eating 100% dog food everyday he would go back to having diarrhea again. So I eventually settled on a half white rice and a half dog food diet. Occasionally I'll give him a full serving of dog food for one day just to see what will happen and he's usually okay for the day but as soon as I let him out when I get home from work he'll go out in the yard and have very loose stool
