"Terminal Specialness", or "Toxic Specialness"

hahhaa i love these terms. I find that trait completely obnoxious and avoid people like that both online and in real life, although i've come across them far more online than in real life. I wonder why that is?

I totally get the wanting to be rescued by your therapist and it makes sense in a lot of ways but actually acting it out over and over is one way to get people real sick of you, real fast! I know these types of people need help too, despite their undesirable "toxic specialness" but i personally cannot abide it. Which is why i won't indulge them. I'm glad others can feel like they can support them because they do need help, but on this forum and in real life i feel like some people try to become rescuers or enablers and are really wasting their time.
