Trolling and the Dark Triad

In the Real World, one must come to accept that some do not agree with you.

In the Real World, for instance, a woman may reject a man's advances, and for the most part, the man will accept that rejection and move on to greener pastures. Others, however, will be enraged by the rejection and become furious, their need for control overweening.

This inability to accept the disagreement may have pathological roots, specifically, in a grouping of mental conditions which psychologists call THE DARK TRIAD:

In the world of psychology, the term “Dark Triad” refers to the degree to which an individual manifests the personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy. People who score high in these 3 areas are less empathetic, less agreeable, less satisfied with their lives, and less likely to believe in the goodness of themselves and in humanity. People who score high on these traits are also more likely to commit crimes, not fit in socially, and be disruptive. Hence the word “dark” in describing this triad of personal characteristics.

Those with the trifecta of Dark Triad personality traits, therefore, can end up being a high powered corporate executive, a politician, or Ted Bundy. The level of narcissism required to be Dark Triad is intense and deeply internalized. The individual deeply believes they are superior to everyone else, their self love is ridiculously high, ... It does not matter if the Dark Traid’s self-confidence is substantiated or not... The Dark Triad person shows no empathy and will feel no remorse for bad and immoral behaviors. This ability is a skill to the Dark Triad Individual in our tough and unforgiving society, but it is defined as a serious mental disorder for a reason.



Sometimes, people disagree.

And inability to accept disagreement can be sign of a deeper problem.

Food for thought.

Egg-ZACKtly.

Hence, don't let them play their game.

Apparently NOT letting them troll drives some people craz(ier).
My Standard Statement on the occasion when I hit the Ejection Seat switch ...



When something isn't moderated, the trolls will move in.

This is a family-oriented Library. That mess don't cut it.

Not the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, though laugh laugh laugh laugh
Let's not forget to mention one of the most significant characteristic of those narcissistic trolls ...

Hypocrisy..

This is the most common trait found in them...
They Demand to be Treated with the Exact Same way , by which They are Never ready to Treat Others who have difference of opinion with them or whom they just don't like ...
They Love to Point Fingers Towards their Opposition always...
And the worst part is , they will always Deny it ...

Hypocrisy is the Basic Red Flag to identify a Nercisistic Troll... thumbs up
Discern the accountability please-

Chosing to tolerate harrassment from another site is a private, individual matter,and insignificant.
The deliberate act of bringing it directly here,
or the link to it is not an acceptable act by CS policies,
regardless of which free members are determined
to condone and perpetuate photoshop h
As long as it's someone else but not you..
The bloggers who scream the loudest about trolls quickly avoided the forums because they discovered doh
they could delete any comments they wanted to.
What is an honest post or dishonest, fair or unfair, inflammatory and argumentative or unifying can be determined entirely by the blogger. Just press the delete button.
The MODS can judge bans as they see fit. They can also determine spam, harrasment, on their own.
A real troll is someone who constantly harrases people with no sense or purpose. Not someone you disagree with or have paranoid fantasies about.
Bo I am only sharing this with you, on topic, as this blog is not closed for comments.I did not request the removal of the Photoshop on your previous blog but I will report the others on forums or any blogs from now on regardless which member's photoshopped.

Thank you Bo.( and Mods).G'Night.
What has brought me to the present day is merely just life unfolding one day at a time. I can't believe sometimes that it has been 18 yrs. That's how long we were married and he was my 2nd husband. I left both for different reasons. I had my 2 children with my first husband. I still see and talk to him and his wife. I have really moved on from him. I left him because he wanted a wife and g/f. I couldn't be a good wife knowing he was spending his weekends with his g/f.

Then I met my 2nd husband, I was his 3rd wife. As soon as we were married his whole personality changed. He got him a maid with benefits...lol There was no romance at all..it was hard for me to be ordered around and his family didn't support us getting married so his mother would send ladies over for him to 'get to know' while I was at work. Over the years he got abusive to me and his mother and his 2 little girls. I stayed with him until his mother passed away and his 2 daughters were grown. Then I left, I haven't even spoken to him in 18 years and we only lived 3 blocks from each other for several years. I found out after the divorce that he also had a g/f too. But he's alone now and has moved to Idaho where his girls live. He made my first husband seem like a Prince.
Thank You for your kind words, but I'm not really looking. I just enjoy blogs and that's about all your going to get online.
I like myself better when I am not in a relationship. I just don't trust people enough to do it anymore. I've dated a few times since my divorce, all were nice men but the spark wasn't there. I've always been a people pleaser. It hasn't worked well for me, so I am happy to be alone. I have great kids, grandkids and friends they make me happy.
Galrads,
thumbs up
That my life is hectic is an understatement.I would rather have think to reflect when responding to comments about me,not the topic but time constraints and discernment said to nip it in the bud.
This IS NOT ABOUT ME OR YOU, never was.
IT IS ABOUT THE TOPIC.

Thanks, so after reflection I would like to clarify I prefer inspiring comments,blogs as well.The story about Mimi prior to dating Art is a perfect example.
No victims there, just challenges and love prevailed.
This dating site provides us that opportunity to be more than a summary of answers, or filters..
Off topic but blushing it is why I have used this site.

peace
Typo:I would rather have had time to think and reflect a bit when responding to negative comments about ME that derail another's blog.
Thanks Bo... let's get back to work. hug
i'm guilty of trolling but have not used photoshop or twitter. i think twitter is lame. i'm guilty of misplaced anger directed to those that have characteristics of those who've hurt me, or those who i read as hypocrites. i'm working through things one day at a time.

part of me doesn't want to be liked. no relationships are simpler. no investment in emotions is safer.
Many believe the dark triad is an illusion, then WTH is this I discovered on my lunch break?! laugh



Ahhh life is complex.conversing
doh and then, Holy Bat Cave, Robin!!
It is challenging not to comment on the likes of Riz, F, Jim, etc, but I’m sure my efforts will be rewarded. Hahaha
