Not sure what you're referring to there about that tv show "better person" thing, but none of what I said is rubbish. What PK is doing here is employing very textbook emotional manipulation techniques, something that to anyone with experience in personality disorders is plainly obvious. The thing is, most people don't understand or respect the significance of understanding personality disorders, so they are not as keenly aware of the
subtle emotional manipulation tactics that emotional abusers employ. What PK did was classic gaslighting, here is a quote about gaslighting from
a good introductory article on it:
“Dirty†fighters typically try to get the better of others by using tactics that effectively conceal obvious aggressive intent on their part while still successfully throwing their opponent on the defensive. The person on the receiving end of this kind of behavior senses in their gut that there’s some kind of victimization at play but can’t point to anything that clearly and objectively backs up their hunch. As a result, they end up feeling more than a little crazy. They might harbor feelings of anger toward the person they sense is an aggressor but also find themselves thrown into positions of anxious defensiveness, which makes them feel unjustified and unsure of themselves. If their manipulator also happens to be skilled in the art of “impression management†— displaying superficial charm and enjoying the capacity to make favorable impressions on others — those on the receiving end of their tactics are likely to feel even crazier. They might say to themselves: “I’ve always thought there was something wrong with them but perhaps there really is something wrong with me. After all, everyone else seems to like them.†So, in a sense, almost all manipulative behavior produces a gaslighting effect to some degree.
Tell me that doesn't describe PK.
He goes to the Gala, cracks a few jokes, has a big smile on his face, and to his fans it looks all innocent, but look at what he actually accomplished. He reinforced every single anti-management pro-PK impression out there, showing himself to be a master manipulator who is very adept at managing people's impressions and being charming. All of a sudden, management is on the defensive and because it was a comedy show, there is this cover of "oh, it was just comedy" and management would look like they can't take a joke if they get offended by anything he says. In fact, they don't just look like they can't take a joke, they look like they are the ones who are being aggressive because they would look like they are attacking PK for having a personality and cracking jokes. That's what covert aggression does - it hides the aggressive intention in the original act, so that when the victim reacts to the abuse, the victim looks like they are the one being aggressive. Like a bully who spreads lies about you behind your back and makes you look like you're the crazy paranoid aggressive one when you freak out about it.
Seriously, learn about gaslighting. Learn about narcissistic abuse and about the dynamics of narcissistic-codependent relationships. Become aware of subtle emotional manipulation tactics such as gaslighting, belittling, reframing, love-bombing, and the whole narcissistic cycle of idealisation followed by devaluation and discarding.
So when you ask for evidence about PK's character, you have to understand that narcissistic personalities know full well about the importance of evidence and make it their duty to control all evidence, managing perceptions and impressions as their main factor. That's what narcissistic personalities do, they care
only about perceptions, about how things look, and care very little about substance. Meaning, they don't care about being a good person, they care about looking like a good person and being seen as a good person in the eyes of others. They will put more effort into looking like a good person than an actual good person would put into actually being a good person. Think George Costanza on Seinfeld - always running around lying, managing other people's perceptions, staging elaborate situations like the marble rye scenario just to avoid looking bad in front of someone. The most important thing to a narcissistic personality is perceptions, they live in the world of perceptions. They bend, twist, and re-frame facts to their advantage and masterfully inhabit the world of perceptions. They paint a magnificent, exciting picture in their minds and they live inside that picture, reality be damned. When reality interferes with their fantasy, reality has to be discarded so that the fantasy can be preserved.
Come on man. Yes. You definitely are being too sensitive.
lol nevermind.
