Facebook and Twitter

My N absolutely adores both of these. It is a way to get constant attention and for him to proclaim basically how wonderful he is - jumps on any causes, says things he is up to (though most of the time these are actually lies - but his followers believe he does do all these things). He can get constant praise on these and it was always so important for him to have as many friends/followers as possible.
Thinking about it recently, I really think these social networking sites make it even easier for Ns to exist in their silly little worlds.
I mean for my N, it says to him - look - I have so many friends (though none of them are close friends at all) - he can get praise all the time when really all he does is sit on his computer all day, rarely interacting with real human beings. He is able to boast about so many things - and in the end it just feeds his ego so much.
It used to make me feel so sick when i would read the sycophantic comments people would say on there about him. I wanted to shout - if only you knew the real person.
(not that I read anything anyway more as he blocked me anyway when I revealed I knew his true nature and spoke to his ex)

I wonder if the internet really has helped Ns to act totally without an consciousness at all. Online dating sites are obviously such a big source of supply. Before the internet it must have been harder for Ns to operate - but I feel now it just allows them to do anything they want. Very sad.

the internet..

the psychonarc is a misanthrope, so he really likes the internet for supply, because he doesn't actually have to be face to face with a despised inferior human being.Instead of being a creepy troll, what he mostly likes about the internet is seeing his name in print. when i still had my real estate business i did a lot of it through a website....he had his name all over that, and he would sit and google himself every day..sick..that's why now i slam him on my blog and on the internet using his full name, so that now when he googles himself, the first thing he'll see is his DatingPsychos profile! he's also the only person i have ever known who has his name in all bold caps in his email address! when i called him on that BS he claimed it was a 'mistake'...one he never corrected.. :)

Ditto mine wanting to ruin

Ditto mine wanting to ruin me for exposing him to his ex. Basically though - i think they act like the bully - because infact they are scared when people stand up to them in a sense, by contacting ex wives/girlfriends etc. Basically by doing that we are exposing them. That is why I think Ns are aware in a sense that they do wrong - because they have such a great fear of being found out. They threaten because that is they only way they think they can stop the whole world finding out, and seeing their own little worlds crumble.

Totally agree with you. It

Totally agree with you. It feeds their delusional lives and makes them think people care and think they're intelligent and interesting as they post their fake personality so easily. They tell him how great he is all from a little room with a computer, then he can go get "his" sex from it too. All that from a screen, what a playground they have in the 21st century.

this has been discussed on this board many many many times. This may interest you: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/09/080922135231.htm as for Online Dating... predators just PARK there. Studies show 75-80% of the people on Online Dating are married or predators of some sort (Narcs or Ps) read: http://cyberpaths.blogspot.com Stay far away from meeting people online! Whether online dating or some other type of site. The success stories are few compared to the MILLIONS Of harmed people from online meetings. ~~~~~~~~~ The world is a dangerous place, not only because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing. - Albert Einstein Visit My Info.

met mine online in a support

met mine online in a support group chat room. Narc...lives online...and Im not joking...he has his life there... each nite goes into chat ... now is onto facebook.. when we were together...online was so much a part of him that he had to buy a phone so he could stay connected...a smartphone...so he could go online and receive emails and alerts from the networking sites... a few times he would be driving and have me read messages to see what others were saying about a post he had made. it is a very very sad existence. I really am very very thankful I dont live that sort of life.. I also would never again go out with someone from online..to risky...to much time for them to profile you etc. “It's not hard to find the truth. What is hard is not to run away from it once you have found it.”

Mine looked at my Facebook

Mine looked at my Facebook page (I had it when we were still married)for the first time this week. He accused me of "slander" because I stated two facts on there about him : 1. that he had me unearth his first dog's urn and 2. that he is suing me for the current family dog. How are facts "slander"? Is it because facts make them look stupid??

slander

slander would mean purposeful lies... these Narcs love to throw words like them around to scare us. screw them. he'd better "bring it" because if he took you to court - he'd LOOSE.

How do you know he looked at your FB page? I don't know who looks at mine. Is it a setting?
