What makes great people great is they are not copies but originals. 1 Masking is a "cloning" tool that we use to be like everyone else. Sometimes we fail to realize that what everyone else is doing is being themselves. 2 The irony is that being themselves requires not being themselves. Being stylish, for example. It natural to be unnatural. 3 And if you try too hard to be stylish, your going to look ridiculous. Likewise, Aspies who try too hard to fit in make matters only worse. (Some are exceptional actors). 4 Once the mask slips, you will never be the same. 5 Never be 'like them' © copyright 2022 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA-TW7zSwB8

Even as we speak, thousands of people are bonding with machines is Las Vegas and casinos around the world. We speak, of course of slot machines. To understand the human bonding with slot machines is to recognize the bonding we have with narcissists. We're willing to take the losses because we know intermittent rewards are inevitable. So think of your narcissist as a slot machine. Every abusive word and action is a loss. It's akin to dropping coins in a slot machine. Eventually, you get on the other side of the abuse when the narcissist hands you a payout with a kind word or action. 2 There are no physical chains bonding you to a slot machine or a narcissist. There are psychological chains that are more powerful than physical chains because we willfully stay in violation of reason. So what are the 'coins' we're dropping into the narcissist's slot machine? • Dignity • Sense of self worth • Confidence • Independence (thinking) • Control 3 Slot machines don't love you Like a slot machine, the narcissist seems to exist to exploit the psychological hard wiring that compels you to get to the other side of the losses for the reward (which is necessarily less than the losses). Like a slot machine, the narcissist has no interest in you. Like a slot machine, you can walk away from a narcissist. Like a slot machine, the narcissist will wait for the next victim. Like a slot machine, the narcissist seems to promise a payout. Like a slot machine, narcissists take more than they give. Unlike a slot machine, narcissists often disguise themselves. 4 It appears you can be 'trauma bonded' to most anything Religion, ideology, political view 5 Know, understand and act © copyright 2022 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7a_VrdAoNk
