Well, first of all, I did not know what catfished meant, my only knowlege about catfishing is actual catfishing where you go to a place that has actual catfish and you fish for them, the actual fish. So it took a while to figure out what you were really talking about. Also, just so you know, I am 62 years old and not one to play the kind of video games younger individuals spend so much time playing. The ones I did play were a lot of years ago when these games were in bars and restaurants and we owned a restaurant and we had one of these games and I played it and it was fun. After my daughter did get in school, I started my own business where I worked around her so I could be around to help her as she did have that learning challenge and I helped her a lot with her homework. I honestly never had time to play video games, was always so busy either working or with her or keeping up with my house and my farm. I taught a lot of children and I pretty much worked 7 days a week and helped my daughter.

Your thread just happened to catch my eye and your title sounded like you really wanted to know "are most people like this". Normally, I click on someone's name and look at their about me and try to get familiar with where they are coming from. I confess, I did not do that with you. I am not my best tbh, as I mentioned my father just passed away and there have been some very toxic things I have experienced surrounding that. You also did not seem to know about how narcissistic personality disorder develops, and the overall spectrum as we all have varying degrees of narcissism as we need it to survive and thrive. I have done a lot of reading about it and I have even visited the NPD forum and read some threads here and there as well. I have come across individuals that have the red flags in my life, I just did not know about the label, was not anything I ever used when talking about someone I had experienced on my life path. It was a risk sharing my own experiences as I have learned that that's often not very appreciated if someone has a heavy lean on the narcissistic spectrum. My doing that has a lot to do with where I am right now tbh because of my father and what he meant to me in my life.
Thanks for this!
