Actually, calling someone "a manipulator" is saying that the person uses manipulative behaviors and does not cast aspersions on state of mind, just behaviors, for which you do not need to access someone's mind or motives.However, none of us has access to another person's mind and motives. absolutely none of us. So that statement is your interpretation.
For someone who asserts that one person does not know what is in another's head, you sure do like to shrink hypothetical people's heads. Such speculation on the potential problems members could have is just as insane as assuming people run red lights or cut you off because they're rushing to a dying person's bedside or are in labor; it's just hypothesizing, and it doesn't alter the objective and objectionable behaviors being witnessed.However there are other possible interpretations; a lot of us have big dissociative partitions in our heads. A change of place or a change of people can mean that we do not have access to memories associated with other places or the company of other people.
Some of us also have big problems with object constancy - If we're not looking at something or someone - it's difficult to believe that it exists.
Who cares? Unacceptable behavior is unacceptable?For someone with those problems (and I'm not saying that the person you dealt with did have those sort of problems - I really have no way of knowing either way), the de friending could well feel like yet another abandonment.
Bullshit! Oh, my god. Bullshit.Very few of the people who come to this forum have the interpersonal skills necessary to be able to deliberately manipulate someone else. and the idea of unconscious manipulation - just does not make sense - it's a performative contradiction, it is self refuting.
@Alice.in.Wonderland stated generalizations that there are people out there who don't always have the best of intentions.Sure, I struggle not to be judgemental with some people who post here, and we are all welcome to take a liking or disliking to anyone, But please be careful about imputing other people's motives - because they are absolutely not available to us.
I'm not sure about the lack of respect in the chat rooms. I've always felt everyone has been respect...
That's all you can do. People are from diverse locations globally, and ER may not simply be an option for some, others may have bad experiences with them, the list of possibilities goes on. All you can do, is what you did... not judge and choose what is right for you, to ignore them further and chat with others. That is within you control, well done.asking chat instead of seeking professional help for what could be a serious medicine side effect. The person was advised to go to the ER and refused. I immediately started talking to other people in chat
I wouldn't worry myself with such things, to be honest. Just focus on you, dismiss any noise around you.Especially since they had to come to the thread after posting the link in the chat room and stir the shit pot some more with immature grade school comments.

and THEN posted a link to the thread "in the chat room"
Mal thank you so much. I feel the same about you and all my other interactions here. It is a constant worry that I will ever hurt anyone because I sure know what it feels like! I don't ever want anyone to feel left out or not wanted. That not what this site is for. Peace and happiness to all.Hope, I've never seen you give a bad bit of advice, in fact, I love hearing what you have to day. J...
