@igbsywas you have not responded, are you ok?

Please don't beat yourself up. There are people that get very good at selling themselves to others and get very good at being BS artists. Their goal is to somehow be at the top and they WILL use anyone they can if it proves helpful to them getting there. It's all about their OWN high and elation and their own "ego drunk". They gravitate towards thinking about themselves as "superior", even having special powers. They already learned how to practice fake petting to keep others engaged, but this is all about them.

Please understand that you are not the first to experience what you are feeling.
