Narcissism Is Fake

& i don’t like mgtow

As I'm thinking of it now that I’m writing it, it's nothing exciting or new at all, but here it is anyway:

"People who obsessively identify behavioral issues(such as narcissism) in other people are batshit insane."

I guess another way of saying this, which you already knew, is that "People who worship ‘therapy’ are mentally fubar."

A long time ago, I was typing "gaslighting" into Amazon for some joke I'll never remember, and I found this book.

To the untrained eye, this might seem like any normal self-help book. Relatively harmless, if not especially useful. But no, I SUBMIT to you, that this is uh… a textbook for enabling bad behavior. Look at this review

Okay? And nothing against this person because I 100% believe this is just mental illness, but I AM claiming that this is book, and all others like it, seems to validate mental illness in its readers. Unless there's a very lengthy section at the beginning for identifying narcissism or delusions of persecution in yourself, this is basically just a manual for finding problems in everyone around you.

I wanted Perplexity's opinion of this person, so I shared the review, telling it I was writing a crazy person for a fictional story and asked it if I'd done a good job of making the character seem off. I'm not a doctor, Perplexity's not a doctor, but it's not actually super difficult to tell when someone's a little fucky.

Here's what it said, which is all correct.

Absolutely! Here’s a detailed analysis of how your character comes across in this paragraph:

Tone and Psychological Impression

1. Paranoia and Obsession

• The narrator seems intensely preoccupied with the idea that they are surrounded by narcissists, especially at work.

• There’s a fixation on identifying and exposing these “narcissists,” with elaborate strategies and constant vigilance.

• The mention of “baiting,” “testing,” “gathering evidence,” and “entrapment” gives a sense of someone who feels under siege and is responding with almost conspiratorial thinking.

2. Disorganized and Rambling Thought

• The paragraph is long, with little punctuation and frequent run-on sentences. This creates a breathless, pressured feeling, as if the narrator is pouring out thoughts without filtering or structuring them.

• The narrative jumps from topic to topic (workplace dynamics, the book, personal transformation, strategies, social media, disability, etc.) in a way that feels scattered and overwhelming.

3. Grandiosity and Self-Reference

• The narrator repeatedly references their psychology degree and their ability to outsmart the supposed narcissists, suggesting a sense of superiority or special insight.

• There’s a sense that the narrator sees themselves as uniquely embattled and uniquely equipped to fight back.

4. Victimization and Persecution

• The character feels deeply victimized, describing a hostile environment, sabotage, and even the removal of accommodations for a disability.

• They see themselves as the target of coordinated attacks, which amplifies the sense of persecution.

5. Blurring of Reality and Delusion

• The narrator’s certainty about diagnosing others, their elaborate “tests,” and the idea of “becoming a narcissist” themselves all blend reality with delusional or distorted thinking.

• The logic is circular and self-reinforcing: everyone is a potential narcissist, and any negative behavior is interpreted as evidence.

How the Character Sounds

• Unstable and “Off”: The character comes across as mentally unstable, with possible paranoid or delusional tendencies. The writing style itself (rambling, repetitive, lacking structure) enhances this impression.

• Obsessive: There’s a compulsive need to analyze, test, and expose, suggesting obsession.

• Defensive and Isolated: The narrator is defensive, justifying their actions and intelligence, and seems isolated by their beliefs.

• Unreliable Narrator: The extreme subjectivity and lack of clear evidence make the character seem unreliable—readers may question how much of their account is true versus imagined.

Did You Succeed?

Yes, you did a good job!
The character feels genuinely “off,” both in what they say and how they say it. The writing successfully conveys paranoia, obsession, and a sense of unraveling. The lack of coherence and the repetitive, circular logic make the character’s mental state feel unstable and unreliable.

Suggestions for Enhancement:

• Consider breaking up the paragraph with shorter, choppier sentences to further reflect agitation or anxiety.

• You might add more sensory or emotional detail (“my hands shook as I scrolled through the screenshots,” etc.) to increase immersion.

• Occasional contradictions or self-doubt (“Sometimes I wonder if I’m the problem, but then I remember…”) can add depth and realism.

Overall:
Your writing captures the “crazy” or disturbed mindset very effectively! The character’s voice is distinctive, unsettling, and memorable.

Yes I did succeed.

(Again, nothing against this individual person, this is like a general problem)

I mean it. This isn't uhhhhh… it's not about *this one person*, it's about like, this CULTURE, of fucked up people identifying infinite problems with everyone else's behavior, over-analyzing everything that everyone around them does, with the analysis being retarded.

I met another case of this earlier today where I saw a guy in a YT comment section say that it was a "red flag" that a girl was upset that her boyfriend's dad didn't want her to come to a baseball game with them.

Okay? Imagine having a girlfriend if you don’t. Step 1. Now for step 2, imagine her wanting to spend time with you and your father 😱😱😱🚩🚩🚩

We don't know anything about this situation other than "she wanted to come too" and this LUNATIC is like "Um, that's a red flag. If she was cool, she would have just understood. Instead, she's creating problems between the dad and his son? What the hell?"

Do you notice the filling in the blanks that he does? “She DIDN'T UNDERSTAND”, “she's CREATING PROBLEMS”. This is literally just a fantasy he spun from "She was upset she didn't get to come too. It's so fucking melodramatic.

There's no difference between this guy and some airheaded single woman who says *whatever retarded thing you can think of* is a red flag.

This is like, fantasy problem-invention. **Problem-seeking, I just learned lol that's a PSYCHOLOGY term, since everyone loooooooooves psychology now. Problem-seeking, there's a term to throw around, and it'll be more effective.

Also I just learned "catastrophizing", how about that? I like this word.

“Catastrophizing is a cognitive distortion where someone consistently expects or imagines the worst possible outcomes, often exaggerating the seriousness of situations or inventing problems that may not exist. This pattern of thinking can lead to increased anxiety, stress, and even physical symptoms, and is commonly discussed in psychology and mental health contexts”

Now, that guy was a MGTOW. “Men Going Their Own Way”, which I guess I’m gonna yap about now. All of "Men Going Their Own Way", all of it is based on catastrophizing: Women can maybe divorce rape you if you're not lucky(true!) so therefore I have to turn my entire life into a retarded social studies project where I try to validate my aversion to women and infect other men with a bucket crab mindvirus and put rats in their head about ever being happy or at peace with a woman. You know what it reminds me of? Just a very slightly-more understandable version of soyjak being mad at the 50s being romanticized.

Every time I see them, they're ALWAYS doing shit exactly like this, trying to undermine another person's relationship, desperately trying to distribute doompills to any man who will listen under a thin guise of "self protection" because for every gazillion encounters men have with women, one time a woman will "ruin his life" whatever the fuck that even means, it's catastrophizing, what a GREAT word to know now. None of these guys better make fun of people for having “irrational” fears of things things sharks or spiders. The worst thing most or ALL women will ever do is hurt your feelings. Ones who would do worse to you? THOSE women, I assert, can be identified with REAL red flags, like erm, being a feminist🚩 not being religious🚩 being overactive on social media🚩 uhhhh… psh, going to therapy🚩 How about that? Here's one for you, you want a good one?

Uses language like "red flags"🚩

There's nothing more destructive to someone's brain that I care to think of right now, than this INSANE way that therapyheads, mental "health"nuts, and mgtow live life like they're taking a fucking college psychology test and classifying everyone and everything that everyone does, every action, every word, everything is *something*. And when *that's* where your head is, you're not interacting with any of it the way you should be. If you’re searching hard enough for something, you’re guaranteed to find it. Do not actively search for problems, you ARE going to invent them.

"Wanted to go to a baseball game with me and my dad" is not a red flag.

And I guess it's not always just MGTOW guys, it's like men in general, everyone's such a fucking bucket crab ALL the TIME. Sour grapes? More like sour pussy!

What a misery to turn the people that God put on this earth to be our partners into an enemy.

Bitter single men are like exactly as insidious as a woman's stereotypical single bitch friend giving her bad relationship advice 💅DUMP HIS ASS HE AINT SHEEEIT

Maybe they're WORSE because they should know better.

"Erm, your girlfriend's showing some red flags…"

Another retard even responded "That's emotional manipulation. Dump her and replace."

Yeah, hopefully he takes relationship advice from YOU, and breaks up with his girlfriend, so he can be just like YOU.

These exact same fucking guys always go ooooon and oooooooon about how "oooOoOoo there's no tradwives out there, it's a fantasy" and look at the shit they'll say to you once you do find a nice girl that you like.

"She got sad when you wouldn’t take her to a baseball game? Dump her." “REPLACE HER” Yeah, women you’d want to date and who will date you too are really growing on trees, right?

Unreal. I have disdain for MGTOW. The way that society (incorrectly, I feel) demonizes incels, I feel that way about MGTOWs because I think they’re actually harming other men. To take the real issues, big and small, that women present men and insist that they’re insurmountable is just a perfect recipe for abject misery. I’ve always said I’ve never met a middle-aged bachelor who I’m jealous of, and it’s even more true for middle-aged doomsayers. It SUCKS. I’M TIRED OF IT!!!!!

Samir al Hyeed once said “If you want to date the perfect woman, date yourself. Date an autistic man.” But don’t actually do that. Learn to cope with behavior that inconveniences you without labeling it as ABUSIVE or NARCISSISTIC. The world will create plenty of REAL problems for you that will fuck you up, don’t invent them for yourself inside of someone who’s your ally. You don’t have to OVERREACT to EVERYTHING. Aren’t you supposed to be a man? You say you are!

The girl who’s normally very sweet to you, listens attentively to all your political nonsense that she doesn’t even care about, and lets you suck her tits and cum inside her (do not have premarital sex pls) isn’t actually the Devil when she wants to spend more time with you, or wants you to do something you don’t really want to do. Not everything you don’t like is ABUSE, all of life is give and take. I once got mad at a girlfriend for wanting me to stop watching porn. (huge spoiler: she was right, I was wrong) I don’t think I regret dating any girl in my life, and I know I regret fucking up at least 1 or 2 of those relationships.

Is there anything else…

I don’t care. Uh, narcissism is fake and mgtow need to just stop. Women might be scary in a lot of ways, but if you actually find one that can sit still through a baseball game, do yourself a favor and at least go to the baseball game. They’re fun to look at, they have nice voices, they’re soft, I’m going to KILL YOU if you deprive yourself of (respectable Christian relationships with) them for NO REASON

“Your own way” really might not be as good as you think it is. There’s a nice Demon Hunter song that goes “I found my truest way was not my way at all” and while I’m thinking of music now, how about Vices Like Vipers, “When I am God, this church is unsound.” So true!

You know, sometimes WE are the ones who are wrong.

That’s all, that’s the end of the post. Try to uh—hey, the kind of people who never stop clinically diagnosing others as manipulative sociopaths are also surely the kind of people who love the word EMPATHY, so I wou—not you, I’m not talking about you of COURSE, I just think instead of screwing ourselves out of society and love and HUMANITY, maybe we could try to just try to be a little more understanding of other people’s quirks and desires and try to meet them halfway, or even ALL the way sometimes, particularly our own family, people we spend a lot of time with at a job maybe, and pardon my religion but I really think if you’ve had sex with a girl you have a moral obligation to not end your relationship with her just because she wanted to go to a baseball game with you, I really feel that way.
