"Emotionally intense" is a hilarious euphemism for the stuff posted here

So many posters were being told to leave (and apparently going through with it) that they had to ban saying "run" as a response. Every post has this disclaimer right under it

I had to make an account to view account histories and I now sexually identify as BDSM

The Silent Treatment

Link

I had to put up with silent treatment for very random things, she had a dream about me leaving her (3 days silent treatment) I accidentally kicked her one night in my sleep (a weeks silent treatment) made worse because I felt really bad about it so decided to sleep on the sofa one night after she told me so I didn't do it again, that led to another 3 days silent treatment.

Now she has had almost one years silent treatment from me after the divorce and she isn't liking it one bit. However, it was her who told everyone who would listen that I was to never contact her again. She can't say I'm not respecting her wishes

I'm currently going through silent treatment with BPDgf, not seen her for 3 weeks. She asked for space because she is going through a difficult time so I have given her that space. I do send her a text every few days to ask how she is doing but think she is getting angry now that I'm not chasing. I learned a valuable lesson from exBPDw, so not falling into that trap again

This guy married and divorced a BPD hoe, but don't worry, he isn't "falling for that trap again" with his new and current BPD gf

Back into No Contact - For Good

Link

Plain and simple.

There has been hot/cold behavior, breadcrumbs and recycling BS.

I am no longer participating.

I said a lot of very blunt, honest things I have been holding back.

Im done not holding her accountable for her actions.

I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN FEAR OF LOSING SOMETHING I ALREADY LOST MONTHS AGO

and it has had me acting like a scared child.

I have not been respecting myself, and I have been putting her happiness before my own.

Nobody is attracted to someone with no self respect.

That crap ended this morning.

You go, King! Kick that emotional parasite to the curb!

We did have a further bit of contact earlier this week... I still greatly fear her moving on with someone else.

Uhh, that's not how no contact works, King

Figured I would pop in for an update. Not much news, but she and I did end up hanging out 2 weeks ago, for one night.

Ughhh

I stopped reading there, but OP posts 45 more times in that thread, so I'll let you guess how well his "No Contact" went. I imagine it's like when @sneedman makes a post about quitting benzos

I Have Hospitalized my Husband Twice

Link

Confession time.

1. I have hospitalized my husband twice. First time he had punched me...I ran him over with his jeep...it was not by purpose. He threw himself on the hood and would not get off...and I refused to stop...I was bleeding like a stuck pig. Two weeks in ICU with brain hemorrhage for my H.

Maybe I'm just not a romantic, but I think I would leave at this point

2. Moving his things from his native country to our adoptive country. He woke up in a foul mood, swore at me. Then punched me. I ran to the kitchen, I was planning to go for my AM jog...he cornered me in the kitchen, would not let me out...I was scared. I grabbed the knife..big cutting one off the block and told him to Just let me GO,...he punched me..hard. I lost it. I never felt the punch at the time..everything slowed down, time slowed to a syrup, and attacked him with that knife, slashed him across the face and barely missed his eye. Blood flew everywhere, he fell backwards holding his face in his hands with blood streaming and I RAN and RAN and RAN and hid in the forest...

Surely the relationship is over now, right?

3. Last summer...a stupid argument about the same old crap. He became very nasty and vulgar and I demanded of him ":)o you really think that behavior is normal?" He punched me. Time slowed, grabbed a tissue box first and slammed him with it, then realized all I did was really piss him off more, then grabbed a glass bottle and slammed over the head at the base of the skull...he dropped like a rock...and I RAN and RAN the rest of the night to a friends house. Returned in the AM with the police and ambulance...12 stitches across the back of his neck. I could have killed him.

Ma'am, you seem to be enjoying this

A common theme on the site is extreme self-absorbtion. Everyone tries to relate whatever the OP was saying to themselves and share silly little anecdotes. The immediate reception to this post about 3 separate murder attempts is:

My sister punched me once tee hee

What do you tell a guy with 2 black eyes? Nothing. He's already been told twice and still didn't listen. <- Actual quote

It takes 12 posts before someone steps in and says, "Hey, this is completely fricking insane"

Natasha Tomicic

>browsing bpdfamily

>having an account on bpdfamily

>posting your story on bpdfamily

>posting about you and your husband trying to kill each other

>USING YOUR FULL LEGAL NAME FOR YOUR USER ID

After reading the previous post, I thought, "Wow this b-word is a lunatic. I wonder if I can use any of her other posts."

So I clicked on her profile

WTF, bpdfamily.com

That's no fun at all (every account is like this)

At this point I tried searching her name. If it is her real name, maybe she used it elsewhere or maybe I would find a news article of a lady who finally dismembered her husband. Instead I found this:

Natasha Tomicic - stop this forum spammer

The following information was assembled in an investigation of a series of 132 harassing posts on bpdfamily that occurred in November of 2019. This was not a hacker ( bpdfamily is well shielded from hacking), but rather an individual using 36 different memberships to make hurtful and disruptive posts.

The individual, Natasha Schliephorst Tomicic, a Canadian living in Taiwan, participated earnestly as a member of bpdfamily from 2008 - 2015 seeking help to deal with marital difficulties, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, and anger management. She was a bit of a disruptive member back then, but she was working in earnest and we supported her and she was openly appreciative of that support. She has not be respectful of the community rule, however, and has opened 70 accounts despite our requested that she just work from one membership.

^ (She likely shared all this identifying information in her posts, but compiling it like this in a call-out post by an admin is unhinged)

Natasha Tomicic has self-identified as being on the sociopath spectrum. She divorced in the 2014-15 time frame and participated on a number of messageboards communities for people on the sociopath spectrum. At those sites she developed relationships beyond the scope of just messageboard participation that ended in interpersonal disputes and escalated to mean spirited Internet fights that spanned a number of Internet communities, some very obscure (e.g., google for more information ), and included off-Internet fighting. We learned all this from names and links posted on bpdfamily by Natasha (people she is fighting with), from unsolicited e-mail contacts this week from people who are fighting with her, and from work done by a private investigator.

She made over 5000 posts from 70 different accounts over an 11 year period! And she was deemed too insane for a place called bpdfamily for 4 of those years!

Seriously go sort by Top of Last year and look at how many of the posts are from 11 months ago.

Are landlords even people?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Renters/s/d7PVwOY8Jy

I bought a mobile home for my mother to live in and she died a few months later. I've been trying to sell it ever since and have had sooo many people tell me that I should just rent it out, which I technically can't do because it's supposed to be owner or close family occupied, but even if I could, I just don't think I'd want to ever be a landlord, partly because it's too much trouble and partly because I'd have to make a choice between either squeezing someone for all I can, which I have an ethical problem with, or charging them well below market rent, which just seems irrational. Better to sell the darn thing and not have to worry about it anymore.

Sound financial choice bro!

I texted the number and told him he should be ashamed of himself, and he called me a few mins later. I didn't answer because I'm a b-word but it confirmed there was someone on the other end receiving things.

Literally no one who isn't brain dead says this:

Remember, there are people out the we that will insist that renting is 100% better than buying...

At least there's one person supporting landlord rights:

Tip him

I tend to think soy boys don't really feel that happy and are exaggerating mild happiness in order to mask their existential misery.

Like maybe there's been a few instances of moments of pure joy where the right photographer might have lucked out and caught me doing a soy gape, but the only occasions I can think of are moments where friends/family/pets have done something spontaneously funny. Never when <latest thing=""> has been announced. And certainly never while looking directly at the camera.</latest>

But scepticism aside, here's what gets me closest to soygaping:

Coffee

I am an unashamed coffee snob. I have a >£4,000 espresso setup including a La Mazzocco Linea Mini and a Eureka Atom grinder and I totally soy out over the process of making espresso and also pour over coffee.

This is one area where I frequently lie to my wife and connive to spend money without her knowing because she wouldn't understand if she knew the true cost of this hobby.

Me inside when my coffee arrives in the post:

Volvos

I love Volvos. I love seeing other people's Volvos. I like old Volvos and new Volvos. I've got a moose sticker on my Volvo.

I am looking forward to getting the new Volvo EX30 very soon, and hoping they release some electric wagons so I can continue my Volvo wagon habit into the future.

I just can't see myself ever buying any other manufacturer. They're not the fastest or the highest end, but man are they practical and well-designed.

Me when I'm driving my Volvo and I see another Volvo or I'm watching the early reviews of the new EX90:

Manly Scents

I've got an unopened bottle of Gaultier² which is my absolute favourite.

I want to clone myself and have s*x with myself every time I sniff myself. So hot.

They've relaunched it, but it apparently doesn't smell the same as the original so I'm saving it for a special occasion. Either that or selling it to some other nerd for £400+.

Burberry London is another favourite.

Not just sprays though. Anykind of manly shower gel or beard oil, etc. Even the rare manly scented candle just gets me soying out like:

How about you? What gets you soygaping, either literally or in your mind?

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is mostly a satire of the more left-wing Enlightenment thinkers and Whig Party politics. I'm more left-wing, and that was about the only piece of right-wing satire I've seen that I thought was actually done well. (46)

I am going off of very foggy recollections of my sophomore lit classes but would it be safe to place another of his works, “A Modest Proposal”, as more in line with modern day leftist thought? He's skewering the idea of helping the poor and hungry with state resources and (/s, obviously) advocates for feeding the poor and solving overpopulation with cooked babies. (0)

Mishima is 100% hardcore right-wing. Even tried to stage a coup to restore the monarch and killed himself because it failed. (60)

To be fair, I think the word "staged" doesn't get nearly enough credit here. Mishima dedicated pretty much his entire adult life to the cultivation of his self as an aesthetic object, and it's hard not to see that including the manner of his death.It would be insufficient to call it "performance art", because that might imply that he wasn't somehow sincere in his stated politics or whatever, and I don't think that's true. But I don't think the point of the "coup" was ever to achieve a successful material change in government or anything like that; if anything, Mishima wanted to change people's consciousnesses through the wanton spectacle of his death.And maybe unintentionally, the way he died was beautifully ironic given the way we've valorised that spectacle vis a vis the image of his external politics and his philosophy of the aesthetic cultivation of the body: he failed to disembowel himself properly, his kaishakunin failed to behead him cleanly, and he died in agony. In the mome... (8)

Crime and Punishment is weird because it keeps telling you over and over how stupid the communist character is but never once is he shown to be anything but very intelligent. (102)

I don't agree with Dostoyevsky's reason for that characterization, but from what I remember that character (I don't exactly remember if he was a communist or just a liberal/Russian nihilist) is comically myopic and stubborn in his worldview. For example, there is a period when a certain character dies and he goes on to lecture grieving family members about how there shouldn't be a burial rite (or something to that effect) because those are grounded in religious traditions which his brand of politics/philosophy rejects entirely. (Similar moments include him lecturing some women about not marrying IIRC.) I mean fine if you hold those views, but Dostoyevsky's "ridicule" of him works because he's (the character) so dogmatic, ridiculously over-the-top and downright inhumane about his feminism and atheism. Of course, for those of us who differ vastly in our worldview and beliefs from Dostoyevsky, none of this calculated ridicule will make his conservative religious pitch any more intriguing. (32)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Sure, heinlein criticizes communism, but to extrapolate anti-Chinese racism from a critique of communism is an insane leap of logic and, I might add, mildly racist in and of itself. (0)

Here's a paper by a political science professor on East Asian xenophobia in Heinlein's works (not limited to Starship Troopers) https://journals.openedition.org/ejas/16749Heinlein comes from a different time, he came from a military family in the age of the Korean and Vietnamese war, and I know his politics over time changed some and he became more humanist in general over time, but his early works reek of racismIt's been a long time since I've read either book, but in one of the introductions to either Starship Troopers or Forever War, they had quotes from Heinlein where he was specifically critiquing Chinese communism. Sure, the way communism swept China was unique, as all revolutions are unique, but the singling out of it is more than suspect (2)
