What's with all these "I don't like Cakewalk/Sonar/this forum, so I'm leaving" posts lately? Why do people feel the need to tell anyone else that they are choosing to use another product?
First off, some of them are from the same troll. Second, here's the Mayo clinic's definition of narcissism:
"Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others."
Hey :)
I wonder if this might be the kind of person who would 1st be defined as someone who would go out of there way to be liked but then take offence at not being recognized for their input then sets them off then become hostile.
I love being mentally ill, I love real people but get angry when they can't see the forest through the trees. I have no real self worth of myself as long as I'm in control of it, good or bad. Coming to this forum, I have learn a lot about human nature and what I have seen as a fatal flaw in others, I now see as normal people who have the need to be part of something in order to feel self worth. I guess that's why we have touristic groups as well... just seemingly normal people that play "follow the leader" to be somebody. :) I can't un-see what I see and I can't un-know what I know... I have come to love most humans as pets, born into a world that washed to stone there souls from birth to fit into a mold... they can't be un-washed and that kills me! Carry on... Hum? Would that be considered "Narcissistic"? Well that would make sense anyway, If you're looking through washed eyes... So yeah! But really I have a border line anti social disorder, agoraphobia and a panic disorder. That's what the real mental heal people call it anyway... But maybe I should have come here for my diagnosis... lol
Great post. It helps us to remember that, with the exception of truly evil people, most "difficult" people (i.e. personality-disordered) are really just trying to cope in the only way they know how, as dysfunctional as it may be. That knowledge, and constantly reminding myself of it, helped me as a counselor in dealing with these kinds of folks. I came to like them, as almost always happens once you get to know someone. Unless, again, they are evil. Or so paranoid they are scary and not to be trusted. Of course, we never really get to know each other here, as on any forum. That's why the Internet is such a breeder of nasty behavior. No real consequences, except getting banned. And some people actually like that. they can always come back as someone else, and continue their dysfunctional attempts to relate. Or, in some cases, just trash a product or forum.
