Interesting. I'd rather focus on the gift though. Wrappers are going to be thrown into the bin anyway. Just imagine you got a brick as a Christmas present wrapped in beautiful sparkly wrapping paper. Now that would be too bad. In that case, I would rather keep the sparkly paper

Two days before his interview, his wife [Elliot’s stepmother Soumaya Akaaboune] was advertising not only that, but his pictures on Facebook. She said something like: "Peter’s going to be interviewed by Barbara Walters and, oh by the way, here’s a link if you want to check out his photography." ‘I don’t think he gives a s***. Unlike me, he’s probably glad to be rid of that kid. But I had a great kid, the best daughter you could imagine, I miss her every second. His kid was a pain in the ass that he shipped off to Santa Barbara to get him out of his life. He’s probably happy. ‘He’s never sent me a letter of condolence, he’s never sent me a card, he’s never tried to reach out to me. He gave me the creeps the moment I saw him. What does it make you think of the stereotype of Hollywood? Peter Rodger has been on TV saying he was going to do this and that, but what’s he done?’

Mr Weiss had the chance to share the stage in that same interview but turned it down. He points the finger at Mr Rodger - who is a professional photographer and assistant director on The Hunger Games - for the loss of his 19-year-old daughter, as he believes he could have done something to intervene. ’The Barbara Walters interview was terrible. They tried to get me on the interview with him, but I said I’m not going to share with this guy. I’m sure he was very much coached by his PR and legal team. It was a bunch of softball questions, all set up to make him look good, but, honestly, he’s really to blame for this, Rodger and the cops didn’t stop him when they had the opportunity,’ says Mr Weiss, who works as an account manager for a Los Angeles radio station. ‘The kid was crazy and crazy people do crazy things, there was the opportunity to stop it, he [Mr Rodger] is just another Hollywood bullshitter. He said he was going to do all these things for mental health and I don’t get a sense he’s doing a thing.

He had no real reason to be there, he wasn't working or even at school most of the time, why was he still getting money, which he then spent on guns?’ he asks. ‘I’ve got another question for Elliot’s father. He gets a $500 a month allowance, that’s not much even for a high school kid, so how did he put together an arsenal of weapons worth thousands? Where was the money for that, who’s looking at the expenses? Was it more a case of giving him the money, just stay up there son, here’s another check for 500 bucks.’ In the aftermath, Mr Rodger promised live on TV that he had a responsibility to make sure this sort of thing didn’t happen again. In an interview with Barbara Walters, he said: ‘My duty now is to do as much as I can to try and stop this from happening again. It will be a long journey involving the personal choices of individuals and families, public discussions, mental health reforms, a change in the culture — you name it.

Yes I think about this person He has somehow influenced my life. I think Elliot was a sort of a messenger to humanity that something is deeply wrong with our social culture. He was disowned by his dad. His dad never showed a hint of love. Roger grew up feeling unloved and unsupported. This contributed to his dark feelings of misery and frustration There had to be an outlet. He was frustrated with the nature of things

Indeed, it's difficult not to have been loved by one's parents, but there's a real challenge too in having been loved too much, which is regarded as 'the golden child syndrome. ' Golden children suffer from the immense burden of expectation placed on their shoulders by their parents.

They lie They deflect the discussion They don't acknowledge They don't accept apologies They don't seek a resolution but pretend to They throw back blame They gaslight They don't accept their mistakes and flaws They project a lot They speculate that you will do something wrong in the future They get covert with their insults They put down They tend to gossip They like to bully They don't give a closure to the complainant They make the other person look like a drama Queen or drama creator They don't change They don't admit that they are the aggressor They don't like being confronted They like sarcasm They push back when confronted instead of accepting their actions. They make the discussion futile and drag it on with no proper closure They don't listen and already start defending before even listening They impose their opinions and will on others They never care or respect boundaries They resort to direct abuse when no one is watching They do passive aggressive shit They control the narrative They want to have the last word They twist the narrative They look for a scapegoat They play social games, power games and ego games. They show sociopathic tendencies where if they are given freedom, they get animalistic about it and use it to say the most abusive stuff They abuse their power of authority. They never accept or apologize or change. They never let you win or settle an argument. You never win with them no matter how much you try.

A journal to understand narcissism better and how to deal with the devilry of narcissism.

Yes the golden child syndrome.

The psychic energy guide is telling me this There are 2 things - The devil sees that he cannot corrupt you. He begins to bully you. The devil when he sees that he can corrupt you leaves you alone. God is the only way. Another thing Is Defocusing and inaction The job of the vicious energy is to make sure that you remain defocused and never implement... Keeps you out of focus.

The other thing that I noticed with Narcissists (kinda ratting them out ) is that they have this Golden Boy or Golden Girl Syndrome. Will talk about this later.

The other thing that I observe with narcissists regularly is that they have a 2 faced attitude about them. That is one face for the public and the other for the private. Narcissists generally tend to appear appealing in public but very abusive in private. This I often observed with my ex. If we were at a grocery store, he would be super nice to me. Whereas privately he would get abusive. The best option here it to keep your communications with the narcissist mostly in public than in private. Remember they will never give you a closure over a situation and drag it out at your expense carrying the hostility forever. However if you communicated with them publicly, that's way better as they tend to offer some leniency. This is because of public pressure. This was very visible as an example in Justin Timberlake's situation. He recently apologized to Janet Jackson, a black woman and singer. However it took him more than 15 years to apologize to both Britney Spears and Janet Jackson. All of this only because of mounting public pressure. You need to be good at smelling the rat.

Sometimes taking clothes off is better. Just saying.

So the newest insight I recollect came from thinking about an incident with my ex who narrated a few incidents regarding his ex wife who had divorced him. One incident in particular where he stated how his ex wife framed him and it was no fault of his own My question was - well if that's the case then why did you go to jail again. And he had no answer for that. He went to jail even after the divorce. Now what I saw in this whole experience, looking back at it now, is how he always minimized his role in everything and maximized her role in it. Narcissists always tend to do this. These are vital signs of a narcissist. They always twist the narrative to make themselves look innocent. Normal people don't do this. Normal people simply admit to whatever they did clearly and succinctly. However narcissists carefully manipulate the outcome of a situation.

This actually proves how living in your own world is the absolute best thing. No mess whatsoever.

Frankly I don't give a damn. Like I said I'm such an introvert. It's best if I crawl back under the rock I came from. That's the kind of person I basically was to be honest. I was that all along until people decided to pounce. So much negativity in this world. One thing that has remained true is my honest expression. I'm unabashedly me. I've no qualms about it. I don't hide under the garb of social tact. That way my mind operates in inner peace. Because I'm not my biggest problem.

Alright off this wagon for now. It's so petty to be honest. But whatever. There are so many things in this world that are bigger. I think some people are born with too much luxury. I'm such an introvert by the way.. I hardly bother what people think. I like to live in my own cave.

Jesus..

This was actually good except the SJW line.

I read this article about one of the victim's dad and it made perfect sense to me. Elliott Rodger killed six students and injured 14 others in the University of California at Santa Barbara stabbing and shooting spree last May 23 One of those murdered was 19-year-old Veronika Weiss Elliott had written a manifesto revealing he was a virgin rejected by girls Her father says, ‘The kid was crazy and crazy people do crazy things' Bob Weiss blames Rodger's father for giving him too much money and not enough supervision. In an emotional interview with the Daily Mail, her father Bob Weiss said that he had no ill feeling towards Rodger, who wrote a 137-page manifesto entitled My Twisted World detailing the carnage that he intended to cause. Instead, Mr Weiss turns his anger on his father, Hollywood director Peter Rodger. Mr Weiss says: ’It came out very quickly that Elliot was mentally ill, and no one chooses to be mentally ill. He only did it because he was mentally ill. I felt sympathy for his situation. He’s a victim, the system didn't protect him, it shouldn't be so easy to get the guns he killed himself with. But my feelings waiver with his father. On the one hand, I’m sympathetic, I’m a fellow dad who has sons, kids are difficult, but that’s letting him off the hook too easily. 'They knew he had serious problems, so why did they set him up in Santa Barbara when they lived in LA? Was it to get him out of their hair? That way, they can see him within a two to three hour car ride, but far enough to not just show up at their house?’ Mr Weiss says he has many questions to ask Mr Rodger like why his son was even at college in the first place, as he had stated in his manifesto that he’d dropped out of classes and stayed in his room for months at a time.

Yea I'm thinking about Elliot Rodger now. He was a half Chinese from Santa Barbara and he shot 7 people and then killed himself. At first I only looked at him with disgust as a killer. But when I read his autobiography spelled as a manifesto, I started to feel bad for him. His father was a white man and a narcissistic parent who always made him feel neglected and inferior. His mom was a diminutive asian woman dependent on the divorced husband's allowances but routinely insulted by him. Elliot grew up being bullied relentlessly by his classmates and later people in his dorm. His story struck a cord. Because he suffered massive bullying. How does the human brain change after being bullied? He was a loner who felt unloved and hated humanity. I have felt like that many times Although of course I'm not going to shoot anyone but I can understand his rage and anger after being mistreated for years.. Somehow all this online abuse constantly reminds me how society can so full of evil and even turns a normally good person into a monster. I think he needed love. And if he had received support, he probably would have never done what he did. It's heartbreaking how the devil exists among us ready to devour those who are weak and vulnerable

Ever since I read about him, I cannot take my mind off of this person. He reflects so much of what I think of society. To some people he is a killer, to some people he is a hero, to some others he is a loser. He is of mixed heritage, half Asian half white guy. Although he clearly looks more Asian than white.

I'm talking about Elliott Rodger. I had been thinking about this person. And I've no idea why I feel empathy towards him even though he is a killer..

@SamC you should definitely do it. Think about how many people you can help.
