Is there a mental disorder or condition, besides being a jerk and an A Hole, where you are so fixated on making someone jealous and you make like passive aggressive comments and just flaunt stuff?

I try to tell myself I don’t have an issue. Although it’s getting sort of sick. it’s only with this one person. I haven’t talked with it about anyone. But I’m guessing I should mention it to my T.

I guess I might have traits of NPD. But only a couple. And it really is only with one person.

There needn't be a label for every single behaviour out there. NPD traits are definitely possible (every human out there has at least one trait of SOME personality disorder).

It sounds quite a bit like bullying, of the verbal and emotional variety. It is a fantastic first step that you are able to recognize the behaviour. Now comes the harder part: lessening the acting out of this behaviour.
Thanks for this!

I feel bad and like a hypocrite because I hate when people bully me. But I don’t think this person really knows what I’m doing. I know it’s still totally wrong though.

Should I talk to my T about it? I don’t want him to judge me after just two sessions.

Evidently there's something about this person that brings out the "bad" in you. I think it's worth talking to your therapist about, so maybe you can figure out why.

Your Therapist is there to help you realise who and where you want and need to be. If what you are doing is a part of you that you think is destructive or in need of modifying, then you should definitely mention it in session. Your Therapist won't judge you...but will help you find strategies to change this behaviour if YOU feel it needs changing.

It's definitely something worth bringing up to your therapist if you feel it's a behaviour that you'd like to change. If they're a good therapist, there won't be any judgment.

My therapist is switching me to someone who specializes in autism. Although he’s not exactly sure who or when I’ll see this person.

So technically, I’m without a therapist. But I “should” have one by next week.

It’s kind of weird, but I am ok with it since I am not in a crisis situation. I liked this guy but if someone can help me better, then I’m all for it.

What are your feelings towards this one person? Love, hate? Does this person recognize your behavior? Does he feel like you're stalking him? I never heard of this condition before.

I was agitated when I left the Air Force and sent numerous nasty letters to my supervisor and a Colonel. I got into trouble with the Postal Service for this. I realize that I was very sick at the time.

She kind of freaks me out because she reminds me of my former self. I don’t hate her. I just freak out when she likes the same stuff as me. In the past she has had very similar likes as me. She would post similar stuff a couple days after I did even though she never posted those things before. I just guessed she was mirroring me. It made me uneasy. So I suppose I don’t hate her, I’m just kind of scared and uncertain of her.

I guess I’m just kind of paranoid about her. I feel like she’s messing with me in a passive aggressive sort of way. I talk about my favorite TV show a lot. And then the next day she posts a picture of my favorite TV show in the background. It’s just a bit creepy.

I don’t know if she’s totally aware since she’s still around.

I know people who want nothing to do with her because of her stalkish tendency’s. So I’m not the only one who thinks this.

I think we are both messing with each other.

I had a similar problem when I got married. There were things from the beginning & it was fighting like cats & dogs. We both brought oyt the wirst in each other. I was never so glad when I finally left him.

Bozdickens. It sounds to me like since she makes you feel uncomfortable I would leave her out of your life IDK if your feelings are justified. It doesn't matter. Noone needs uncomfortable baggage in their lives. You need to do what is good for you.

Boz, it may be possible that it’s a form of flattery...the copying of what you do. I’ve had that happen to me before. It just made me uncomfortable because they were so blatant about it.

No solution...just an idea. I don’t even know if she realized. Take care.

Sometims people act out in ways to please another, i mean they try their best to please someone else by using their likes to get the attention they need. They may just be mimicking the other person, not in a bad way, but just to see if you like them that way, by using something you like to get you to like them too.
Thanks for this!
