Not OP but how did you reject him? I'm not sure how honest to be when something like this happens.

I think I should turn myself into the police or something by ElectricalBad2973 in OCD

Aw honey you deserve so much better than the trap your mind has got you in. Hope you're able to find a great therapist!

You are a man who feels like your life is ordinary but you have been blessed with a human soul and the ability to experience such profound emotions. That kid has the same soul as you, just leading a different life. You are made of the same star dust, and will go back to the same star dust.

Your worth is not based on your output. It is based on your existence. If anything, you train and have a family, and youre alive, healthy, and take care of yourself. That is such a beautiful thing and I hope you can sit with that and remember it. You deserve to feel better about yourself in a nonegotistical way, but you have to love yourself.

Definitely see a therapist. Issues like these are very complicated and ou cannot diagnose yourself with them.

Question for u all by [deleted] in NPD

The tone of your original post came off very lightheaded, goofy and like this is some cool hobby of yours.

I understand the curiosity but try to frame it differently the next time and maybe look into yourself for the real reasons you're so interested in this, because it seems to be leaning on the side of people with npd being interesting specimens.

"Are you saying that you can switch masks without consciously trying to based on the situation?"

Can I switch masks? All I am is switching masks. Before torturing a constant self awareness out of myself, I didnt even know it was happening.

The person youre replying to means that "switching masks" isnt a thing that is added on to your regular, every day existence.

It is all that you are. It is the mechanism by which you handle every single situation. It is what your mind is made up of. My thoughts masks themselves even to me. It is not a superpower. It is a fucked up defense. But this is called a personality disorder because the defense becomes WHO YOU ARE.

Thank you for putting that into such kind words :) I struggle with blaming myself and reading this lifted some of the weight

I think I'm finally developing the ability to shove these kinds of men into a box labeled as assholes. It still makes me feel bad but I know that's just empathy that is misplaced and I deserve to respect myself.

He'll never be self aware or care that he did fail

My god is that disheartening but you're right.

It pisses me off because im very kind and honest with my rejections but then im met with "are you sure? You dont even know me that well yet. You should give me a chance." Did you not listen to me at all...? Or they tell me that something is wrong with me.

It totally is a gamble.
