@Ananta if you saw some of the recent campaigns of Trump, you'd see so many gaffes that Trump made and he had been slurring through many of his campaign speeches despite the help from his teleprompter. Kinda hilarious.

Floating house aesthetic

I'm still in green I'll make the transition next year. Right now I want to experience and explore more at green before I take the big leap. I have made my diagram. I will progress slowly

They are a group of hatriots, my favorite word.

Narcissistic gaze.

Another aesthetic is this A cabin in the woods.

@Forestluv why is he not wearing a mask?

People in America need to work, unless the government pays rent and other bills.

@Ananta because whatever happens in US politics ultimately directly or indirectly impacts the whole world. My family lives in the US. So it is usual thing for me to keep a tab on what's going on there. But even if my family wasn't there, I would still be curios because much of the politics and social climate as well as social media gets impacted by whatever happens in the US. A good example. The metoo movement was copied in my country. Inspired by US.

But most of them are whites So you are of the opinion that they are not white supremacists? I didn't get you.

They are white supremacists Leo. Or Ethnonationalists. This was full on toxic masculinity. It smells putrid

Potential signs of a narcissist Any discussion is sabotaged He is never interested in hearing He only talks about himself He never gives attention He acts selfish When you ask for affection, he deprives you and leaves you alone He assumes too much He projects too much He invents a lie to either cover up his mistake or make you feel guilty He will gaslight you. He will be very contradictory If you say that you like something, he will try to negate it or tell you to not do what you like He will control your freedoms If you are feeling tired or weak, he will make you feel like a failure If you don't like something, he will make you feel guilty for not liking it He can use abuse words during an argument If he did something wrong like cheating or any other, then when you confront him, he will make you feel guilty or get very angry. And shut down the discussion instead of trying to come to a resolution He never gives you closure on anything, leaves you open ended on everything He will resort to threatening when you are trying to leave the relationship He will tell you to cut ties with your family members in order to isolate you. In matters of sex, He will only want you when you needs you sexually. Other times he will ignore you. He might even insult you when you are trying to be affectionate. When you are in a sexual mood, he will dismiss you. It should only happen when he wants and how he wants. Your sexual needs are pretty much ignored and neglected. He will chastise, mock, ridicule and make you look small or unimportant. He will bully you If you are having a mental breakdown, he will either scorn you or laugh at you rather than being empathetic or supportive. He will make you feel like a loser all the time He will compare you with other people in a disparaging way He will criticize you non stop

Potential signs of a narcissist Also signs in yourself of having suffering or still suffering narcissistic abuse (signs of suffering narcissistic abuse) Lack of sleep.. I started losing sleep early on in the relationship due to anxiety instilled by the partner Feeling anxious alll the time Happiness is experienced in doses Weight gain or weight loss Feeling of being controlled Feeling of guilt without incident Feeling of being abandoned or isolated Feeling of fear A general depressed state A feeling of humiliation on occasion

Trauma and the deep deep psyche Different types of psyche. Psyche is usually a good word to be used while describing any form of trauma.

The one thing that I deeply deeply want is to never be around a narcissist. But it's very tough. Because I have a very poor judgment although I know now a narcissist behaves, I always fail to connect the dots. And I'm never very self aware to be able to start a diagnosis One thing that can be done to solve this endemic issue is to keep a record. And keep an eye. Be on the watch. Be careful and already prep the mind to repel a potential narcissist.

I just want to heal heal heal. Coming out of an intensely narcissistic abusive relationship and to feel healthy and normal is a very difficult and arduous process. It needs post trauma therapy. Your self esteem and self worth has been injured big time. The other thing is the constant feeling of anxiety I used to feel in the relationship, the need to impress my boyfriend at all costs. Narcissistic abuse starts pretty quickly in the relationship and before you realise, it has already gotten you. The sense of shame and fear is extremely high. The person assumes an authoritarian relationship Initially the guy acts like a protector and lover and slowly he starts to take a domineering position in the partner's life. It usually starts with control, manipulation and verbal abuse. That's where it escalates. You feel helpless because you're deeply plagued by the fear of losing the relationship if you don't agree to the narcissist. This is also the time when you start experiencing mental distress symptoms where the person's level of control in your life begins to create an enormous anxiety in you. The pressure to be the best girlfriend keeps mounting. I remember how Joseph used to control each and every aspect of my life. If he rang the doorbell, I used to feel very startled and anxious. This is a significant symptom of being controlled by a narcissist where you begin to feel fear in their presence.. You're afraid of their judgement about every little thing. It takes time to get over the hold and power of a narcissist and be able to confront them on their domineering and threatening or controlling behavior. I slowly began to open up. It took me a year to feel confident enough with Joseph and ask him questions over his behavior or be able to tell him to stop hurtful behavior. This is difficult and needs a lot of confidence. It also needs a maturity to be able to accept the consequences of what that person will do once they are confronted. The fear of losing the relationship needs to be removed and replaced by the love and compassion for self.. A relationship should create love, not fear.

@Forestluv He will recover. But the real question is if people start voting for him in large numbers just out of sympathy over his condition. Now if he comes back recovered and wins the election, that's a great disaster. The thing is people shouldn't allow his illness to manipulate themselves. He is still the con artists and his past actions throughout the year shouldn't be forgotten to his illness.

Yea even there they cheated. They just can't ever be honest with anything. Look how they got trapped by their own dishonesty. Only if they had taken the coronavirus seriously, things wouldn't have been so perilous right now. This is a real life evidence on display of how low conscious egoic behavior not only hurts others but also comes back to bite in the ass. Their pride and prejudice has been very expensive on the system.

@Forestluv what's an honor system

@Forestluv maybe coronavirus is his awakening moment.

Out of all the loves and romances in life, there is always one love that stands out as special. Maybe you had many romantic experiences in life with many people that you fell in love with. Your school crush. Your college boyfriend Your workplace colleague Your married partner Your post-divorce lover Your best friend turned lover At many points in life, we meet different people in different places and fall in love with them Then, sometimes the relationship works and sometimes it doesn't.. After a long time, you forget these people. They become your exes. You had both good and bad memories with them But now you look for a fresh new partner in life, somebody who will not the carry the baggage like your past boyfriends or girlfriends carried.. Someone who is very different from the ones that you dated before Now. There is always someone in your past dating history that you loved madly. You were madly in love with them. With that person.. It was like Romeo and Juliet You wish that you had married that person and that person only and none other. And you broke up with that person because of unfortunate situations. But you always remember that person That person was special to you. That person was not like other people who you fell in love with.. That person was special That person was like a soulmate You had lots of happy memories with that person You wish that relationship had worked out.. But it didn't.. That was truly a unique love. I will call such a love the hunger satisfying love. Because this is the kind of love that satisfies your inner soulmate hunger

@Forestluv you can see Melania there in the crowd. Maybe she caught it first. Then she might have transmitted it to Trump. But I find it extremely baffling that so many people in the crowds are not wearing masks. It's just unbelievable. What a dumb ignorant crowd, not following even basic safety?

I have to go through a lot of emotional labor to work things out.

Sometimes I'm not able to get over my thoughts about Joseph All the strong negativity that I experienced in the relationship was coming from his frustration with financial problems and this was a result of his bipolar disorder. I was traumatized multiple times during this relationship and its still difficult to put it all behind me.

I'm just wondering what's going to happen to the person who inflected Trump? Best if they don't find out who this person is.
