I never quite understood this, In my opinion, If you expose your online persona as a trollop, an azzhole or a serial killer even... This comes to mind.

If someone shows you who they are in a repetitive manner?

Believe them!

My questions then becomes...

From sociopaths and psychopaths to sycophants and autocrats... from introverts and extroverts to narcissists and trolling perverts... from the cream of the crop at the ivy league top to the very bottom of the socially acceptable pile of poor taste and lack of style...

How do we really know what kind of people we are dealing with while interacting online with others we spend time with becoming acquaintances and friends?

And in the grand scheme of developing relationships does personality types matter as much as appearance and substance does?



Based on my personal experience "interacting online with others", I don't see how you or anyone would be able to know (identify) sociopaths and/or psychopaths, so lets rule that chit out right now...Introverts and extroverts are harmless and the extroverts are often the life of the party, so no problems there either...."Cream of the crop ivy league to the bottom of the socially acceptable pile" what !!!what that sounds extremely judgmental to me Athena, so that chit needs to go too!.....What are we left with?...Narcissists and trolls.....In a previous thread started by you, we covered internet trolls...Every site has them and they are easy to identify, easier to avoid...Because this site has moderators that actually moderate and savvy forum participants, trolls are a minor problem, therefore, I think it's safe to rule them out too:wink: ....THAT LEAVES THE NARCISSISTS...Perhaps it's time to identify those pesky posters Athena?.....

Narcissistic personality disorder, or NPD, is a personality disorder in which a person is excessively preoccupied with personal adequacy, power, prestige, and vanity and is unable to see the destructive damage they are causing to themselves and to others in the process...It is estimated that this condition affects one percent (1%) of the population...First formulated in 1968, NPD was historically called megalomania and is a form of severe egocentrism...

Symptoms include the following...

1. Expects to be recognized as superior and special, without having superior accomplishments...

2. Expects constant attention, admiration, and positive reinforcement from others...

3. Envies others and believe others envy him/her...

4. Is preoccupied with thoughts and fantasies of great success, enormous attractiveness, power, intelligence...

5. Lacks the ability to empathize with the feelings or desires of others...

6. Is arrogant in attitudes and behavior...

7. Has expectations of special treatment that are unrealistic...

Athena, does this sounds like anyone you know or are referring to in so many of your recent opening posts?...Remember your own words, "We don't always see ourselves the way others see us."....flowerforyou




Actually, no it doesn't indicate to me that you are referring to any one person over anyone else that posts here on Mingle, because I think we each get the usual amount of air time on the boards by those who like to follow our posts with their own replies or spin offs into their own threads.

I don't think any one individual stands out over or above the rest as we are all unique in our thoughts and beliefs.

As always though, even if I don't personally identify with the point you're trying to make I do admire the in depth approach that you take to proffer an opinion and explain it with fascinating detail.

As for what about my first post that stands out in your mind, well... this is just a bit of chit chat we're having in a pretend coffee house or bar over drinks of a stimulating nature, so nothing is taken very seriously by any of us who decided to join in on the conversations.

If you cannot write your ideas/thoughts on the back of a business card, then you do NOT have a clear idea or thought.

That's okay Leigh... flowerforyou I can understand your confusion. But no, I don't always relate one thing to another. In fact I do try to make it a practice that once an issue has been discussed and put to bed there's no need to keep drudging it up again. Don't you agree?

As for my sincerity... I'm not quite sure what you mean... but I'm sure it's all good... :wink:

F2f is the only way I would attempt considering a ltr.

Then, that can't be a certain test of who they really are.

Like it's said. You don't really know a person till ya live together for a while.
