Connor Murphy the fitness influencer, has passed away

[Jehovah increases]

Let's be mature enough not to mention his ailments and just let him be.

[r0ckyreed]

Let’s tribute to Connor Murphy guys and watch and share his video on Escaping The Cult of Bodybuilding. The guy had genuine awakenings but sadly did not know how to integrate them. He couldn’t handle the Truth. The Truth killed him.

 

[Sincerity]

Damn, that’s sad. May he rest in peace.

Leo shows up at 58.

This video he said was the most important video he's ever made but all he cared about was the view count to make him feel good about it.

You have to sacrifice view count for truth, of course you're going to get a smaller audience when you focus only on truth and discard all the bullshit

Leo is in all of these videos people are making about connors

this one roughly blames Leo for his mental health problems. 

Only Leo knows whether he played a role in Conor’s death. No one knows what happened between them privately. But if Leo is aware that he contributed to what happened, I believe he may face the same fate as Conor.

This situation is now reminding me of when I had to protect my sister cus she was going through a mental health crisis. I wrote about it a while ago in another thread:

Imagine hallucinating yourself to be Trump himself. My sister did many years ago during a psychotic break and it landed her in a mental hospital, restraints and a cocktail of IV meds. As shitty as that experience was, it changed her for the better. 

I was the one who called the cops on her cus of how zonked out she was, and she refused to be taken away by the cops for a whole hour, so they had to call an ambulance with a female nurse to help take her away.

I can't imagine how things would have turned out had I not called help for her. In hindsight, she could have harmed herself permanently as well. This happened during the start of the COVID pandemic, and she was working as a nurse in the ER access/intake during the graveyard shift (think: frontline workers/soldiers for a war they didn't have training or any preparation for). Working in the emergency room during the beginning of the COVID pandemic was a living hell for healthcare workers. 

God can, and will, hallucinate crazy ass shit. Wow!

Damn, really makes me sad to hear this. There is a lot of empathy on my side. Even for his deranged antics. God can be deranged as fuck. 

On the other side, I feel good for him that he finally found peace and lets the world be as it is. There would only be more harm and struggles for him and his relatives down the road.

True lol.

He will wake up in a hospital in an alternate timeline.

I mean I sort of agree but also not Leo has stated many times that his work is radical and his recent videos have disclaimers warning people to not watch if they have shaky mental health. It is pretty radical stuff if you accept the argument that you are God then all previous paradigms are quite mild in comparison and what @Joshe talks about is a mild reaction to it.

Our minds went to the same logical place if it was truly shit then it would be reported everywhere, it has to be some sort of paint or clay. 

 

You can put a warning label on a lot of things and try to wash your underlying intentions and lack of maturity when selling it. I agree he has changed since then. Leo started putting out warnings and changed his tone a lot after a string of suicides on this forum and the original Conor incident in 2021. I don’t know if Conor found Leo before or after Aya. Conor is responsible for Conor though. I think he had many opportunities to get some help and he was warned a lot his episodes could lead to some big mistakes. 

I hope Leo realizes the amount of responsibility for his retreats. Conor being Leo’s Frankenstein has always been a bit of a running joke on this forum and it really ended badly this time… it kind of puts a whole new weight on this community.

This is shocking for me. He always said, its just an act. He proved it many times that it was just an act with behind the camera scenes.

No way was it an act. He was lost in manic episodes.

You can see the manic episode started inside the house that he trashed and ended in the lake.

During a manic episode no negatives are ever considered, everything seems possible, you feel invincible. But Reality eventually catches up with you. Drugs make it even worse as they lower inhibitions.

This is a classic case of untreated mental illness. The problem is that his social media community and friends were cheering on his antics and feeding his need for attention. His audience rewarded him for such behavior so he felt it was cool.

Social media killed him as much as the lake. A guy like that should not be a social media influencer. It feeds and rewards the manic delusions.

No I mean he stated the whole time it was just an act. See my last post where he even was evaluated by a psychiatrist that he is mentally ok so his parents and other viewers are not too concerned. He said he always faked his craziness. His whole goal was to give attention to mental conditions like social anxiety and others. It seemed always to me he knows what he is doing. I really thought he is an actor.

If you want to believe anything, believe that Leo was trying to get Conner to wise up.

That was his BS. He downplayed every reckless thing he did. That's what manic people do. They pretend they aren't manic, they are in denial about having a disorder.

When you are manic you feel invincible so you can't possibly have a disorder so you don't need any treatment or meds. That is manic logic.

Sane people don't act mentally ill for fun.

@Leo Gura But its so disturbing because he really faked his emotions. I believe that. It was total overexaggerated and bad acting.  It really seemed to be thats someone who tried to imitate people with real mental conditions.

Or, that's what mental illness looks like.

Look at his last video post. That is mental illness or too much drugs, or both.

I think he used his mania as his schtick for ratings, and it got out of hand.

@Leo Gura holy shit his craziness looks real for the first time:

I saw his older ones and there it seems to me he clearly was pretending.

But there could be both true. What if he was really pretending and he took too much psychedelics so it was an druginduced death? Was this really planned? On the other hand, 40 days fasting alone was an act to me only very serious people or maniacs can do.
