Helping men in relationships with abusive women since 2009. Clinical Psychologist, egalitarian, INTJ, carnivore.
It's a straight line from Oprah, Springer et al to reality TV to social media, micro-celebrities and influencers.

I've long thought of reality TV as porno for the personality disordered. In addition to the lack of empathy, what are the effects on critical thinking of this collective narcissism?

Is this why the rapture was trending on Twitter a few weeks ago?

You can’t reason with a moving goalpost. And you can't fix crazy.

The only winning move is not to play. /3

Now you’re a narcissist who “makes her do all the emotional labor.”
The real emotional labor?
Being expected to co-regulate the emotions of a grown-ass adult.

This isn’t communication. It’s coercive control wrapped in TikTok mental health influencer therapy-speak. /2

This isn’t “compromise.” It’s preemptive compliance.
A lot of men don’t get called out, they just slowly disappear.

And the reward for that?
Being told you’re still not doing enough.

Reclaiming your time, space, and sense of self isn’t selfish. It’s survival.
