Facebook Blocking Behavior

Today I am thankful for Facebook blocking behavior,

it shows us where we stand with people.

Yep...

Steve was upset.

A drunk acquaintance was saying bizarre things about him. The acquaintance and I have never shared more than seven words between us.

And those were.....

Hi, I'm Brad.

Hello, is this yours?

At that point, I gave him something I found with his name on it.

That's it.

I've spent two days stuck in a room with Brad and 51 other people. I don't get to talk to him very much.

He seems to be a rather interesting character who knows a lot about Steve or is making up a lot of crap. Whatever he said, it really hurt Steve.

Brad is wealthy.

Steve and I have a mutual friend who I think is a daughter of Aphrodite.

Everywhere she goes, men throw themselves at her feet. Brad has spent the past few days entertaining her.

Steve went on to attack my Goddess friend on her Facebook page.

Brad attacked Steve quite viciously in order to defend the honor of his lady love.

I was trying to move the Facebook conversation away from abusive language directed at Steve and he blocked me.

Then, my friends reported that Steve went on to attack them before blocking them.

The romance is over.

So....I'm free!

Within five minutes of complaining about the blocking, another friend asked me out to console me**.

Wow...

I'm not going.

The other man is sweet. He's a good guy and is always helping people in need but

I'm going to nurse my broken heart.

Love ya,

S.

**Two hours after I posted this, the friend who offered to console me was attacked by Steve. He sent me a message to warn me about Steve's behavior this morning but refused to tell me what Steve wrote.

They barely knew each other!

I'm confused.

My friend is a fitness buff. He was worried about my weight gain and suggested that I try an organic diet.

Now, over the past eight weeks, I've lost twenty pounds. I've lost ten pounds since I took his advice. I thought I was going to plateau forever.

My fitness friend was excited for me and posted my results on his page. He never named me. Steve made a snarky comment and got himself deleted.

I can handle time by myself.

I don't need any one man in my life.

I'm not sure I'll ever trust Steve to be fully in my life.

The quickest way to upset me is to harass my friends. I am quickly getting to the point of never wanting to talk to my friend again.

Never harass my friends....ever.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing? I imagine they sing songs like this. I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call but wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again. I probably should document this somewhere. My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis. She is his cousin. I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law. She wanted me to plan interventions. This happened with a baby shower. It also happened with a wedding. The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car). I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

The Love Gods Have a Sense of Humor

Today I am thankful about the ever-changeable, ever-humorous universe. It is said that 'in life, the only constant is change.' Ah, this is a true tidbit, isn't it? I recently vowed NOT to date until Michael officially moves out of the house. I also vowed NOT to be close to him unless he signs up for FOO (Family of Origin) and Relationship counseling. I've been with the man nearly a quarter of a century, he's not going to go to therapy to have a relationship with me. He plays games with money, divorce agreements, custody arrangements, transportation, and all sorts of things to keep me stuck here. It's nothing money and a lawyer can't solve. ***** They say that dysfunctional people have three weapons that they use to keep people under their thumb. The acronym is FOG. Yes, they are FOG machines. What does FOG stand for? F ear O bligation -and- G uilt Yes, there is fear. Fear that he won't honor hi...

Personality Theory

Today I am thankful for personality theory. I can't say that I buy into it very much. People change over the course of their lives. Healthy people grow. Unhealthy people either stay static or regress. So what one tests today may change tomorrow. I do believe that personality theories (even ancient ones like astrology) create self-fulfilling prophecies. If people buy into it, it gives a lot of insight into their characters, needs, and behaviors. I've spent most of my adult life studying personality theories. From Eric Fromm's theory's about authoritian -vs- mature personalities and how authoritians fear power while mature people revel in it to Jung's introvert -vs- extrovert theory. A major one of interest to me is an offshoot of Jung, it is the MBTI type inventory. When I'm happy, I'm a textbook INFJ. When I'm pissed off and wanting to strangle my ex, I act like a ESTP. My ex is a ESTP a...
