A superficial, shallow asshole that can portray empathy if it benefits them. But they can also portray a grandiose sense of delusion that doesn’t exist too.

Once you are aware of their antics, which many aren’t, it all becomes clear.

Pay careful attention. Because if you don’t pay attention, which you won’t in the beginning, it’s going to be painful as fuck. All the “feel goods” they give you end up being your torture chamber.

Have you ever been in a torture chamber? If not, you will be if you date one of them.

Everything they do and every thing they say is to elicit a response out of you. And the response has to benefit them. They are excellent at making it appear they care, but in reality it’s manipulation. They plain don’t give a fuck.

They love the way you make them feel about themselves. They love how you put them on a pedestal and forget about your needs and others, all while focusing 100% on them.

  • They don't love you.
  • They aren’t sorry.
