Please, keep going. How absolutely exciting. I get so bored when I am in a long-term, committed relationship. I thrive on the validation and attention of so many admirers. I betrayed my previous partners and they found out. Of course, by then, I had to discard them because they had seen behind the mask and they were no longer willing to invest in forgetting my crimes. Feel sorry for me. Nurse me back to emotional health. Come closer. The truth is, I prefer to be the one inflicting pain. I love leaving the places where my victims have me figured out and starting over. Are you buying this bullshit? Only then can you break free from their mind games, gaslighting and falsehoods — and live freely in the truth. Baskin-Sommers, A.

They are warned to guard against expressing human impulses of empathy, caring or kindness, all of which are traits that are linked with weakness and those the powerful deem weak — and are entitled to exploit — such as women and children, weak men and other groups. Multifaceted cross-cultural historical and anthropoligical studies in the last five decades prove otherwise. And their work is also conducted by narcissist trolls all over the internet. A narcissist and psychopath whether male or female identifies strongly with an internalized misogynist belief system, and specific intentions to prove dominance and superiority, and thus feels entitled to take over and control the mind of another with any means necessary. The MeToo Movement has only scratched the surface. So how does a narcissist reveal himself? In the same way that all persons do. We become our habits and habitual behaviors. Not just occasional, here and there. Our habits reveal what we derive pleasure from, most value, most want. Narcissists reveal who they are by what they do,not what they say. Here are twelve actions that narcissists take that reveal a pathology that poses harm or danger to others:. They use gaslighting to derail any attempt of another to feel fully human, as separate beings with needs, wants, dreams of their own. Narcissists regard kind, loving, caring persons as not only inferior and weak, but also dangerous and emasculating to those in authority positions. They live in a topsy turvy world in which everyone is either a hunter or prey. In other words, they lie, lie, lie to themselves and one another about what is normal in human relationships. They gaslight. And gaslighting is a form of lying, a fear-elevating communication tactic, proven in scientific studies, to cripple the otherwise amazing abilities of the human brain to think, more specifically, to derail any attempts of a partner to emotionally connect as a real live human being with a voice, yearnings, wants, dreams of her own. He sees his job as training her to think, do, feel, say what serves or pleases his needs and interests. Anything else he perceives as a threat! They lie feeling entitled to do so to prove their superiority. Narcissists lie as a way of life. They often speak in code, amongst one another. They say the word love, they mean sex. They view concept such as soulmates or partnership relations as bait to trap women. In the case of this article, this refers to male entitlements over female, however, these cult practices are responsible for all institutional violence, as they rationalize physical, emotional and, or sexual violence of those in authority positions against whatever group is targeted, for example, children, gays and nonwhites, among others, often within the very institutions that supposedly exist to protect them, such as family, church, education, athletics, government, and so on. They believe violating the rights of a partner is proof of their superiority. Narcissists do not see their partner, or women in general, as human beings. This more than anything else explains why they act entitled to treat women perhaps also other groups, children, gays, nonwhites, other religions, etc. They do not see a woman partner as human. In many cases the domestic violence is mostly or perhaps solely emotional abuse, a form of emotional abuse that is separate and far more severe than the usual tongue lashings of parents scolding, shaming children into obedience although this is also abuse, and harmful as well. Narcissists know this well. They want you to argue over the points they make, or their accusations. Time and energy are precious. Do not waste them. Narcissists intentionally violate and abuse a parter, using the tactic of gaslighting to get into their mind to subjugate their will, control what they think, feel and believe about self and their abuser. Ultimately the goal of narcissistic abuse is to inflict on their partner the same topsy-turvy worldview they hold — one in which the abuser is infallible master and justified in all they do to include abuse, whereas their victim is ever to blame, deserves, even caused their own abuse. Telling a narcissist that they faltered in any way is likely to get a violent reaction, a fit of rage, physical and, or emotional abuse, stony silence or punitive treatment that lasts for hours or days. They may leave the house for an extended period of time, or react violently just to have an excuse to leave or do what they wanted anyway. This reveals the dehumanizing view they hold of others, and sadly of human relationships. The violent reaction by the way is intentional, itself part of a strategy. This is why narcissists hate and fear the truth like nothing else. One is to help you understand the condition beyond the textbook definition of sociopathy. Two, I hope that you can effectively utilize the information presented in this book to spread awareness and help prevent the number of children growing up to become sociopaths. Three, this book is for your own safety and protection. As you cross the street, you are highly likely to come across a narcissist, and this would only mean one thing: they are common.

    ANTIACADEMIC-BULLYING POLICY This policy will be kept up to date and will be reviewed once per year as part of the company’s Quality Assurance arrangements. Review Period Approved by Review Carried Out By Date of Approval 1 Year Directors/Governors Quality Team November 2020 Introduction At Orion all staff have a duty to provide a safe and secure environment for all. Orion should be free from violence, should encourage a caring and respectful environment and should be physically and psychologically healthy. We must all strive to uphold this healthy environment. At Orion we believe that all forms of bullying are unacceptable and should not be tolerated. We want all students to be and feel safe from bullying and all forms of discrimination. We want everyone who works with students to take bullying seriously and know how to resolve it positively. As bullying happens at all levels of society we seek to empower our students to challenge, remedy and prevent bullying, creating a culture where every person is treated with dignity and respect and takes seriously their responsibility to treat others in the same way. There is no legal definition of bullying but Orion adopts the ‘Dfe’s definition of bullying: “Bullying is behaviour by an individual or group repeated over time that intentionally hurts another individual or group either physically or emotionally.” Bullying Behaviour Bullying can take many forms, including: • Verbal name calling, insults, jokes, offensive language or comments, including graffiti, threats, innuendo, teasing, taunting, bragging, ridicule • Physical unprovoked assaults such as prodding, pushing, hitting or kicking, ‘rushing’, shaking, inappropriate touching, blocking the way, capturing, contact involving objects used as weapons • Social humiliation through exclusion or rejection by peer group, ‘blanking’, spreading rumours, gossiping, peer pressure to conform, using difference as a dividing factor, control or power over a relationship • Cyber-bullying via the internet, email or mobile phone, e.g.

  • All Fun and (Mind) Games? Protecting Consumers from the Manipulative Harms of Interactive Virtual Reality
    ALL FUN AND (MIND) GAMES? PROTECTING CONSUMERS FROM THE MANIPULATIVE HARMS OF INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL REALITY Yusef Al-Jarani† Abstract Information technologies increasingly influence our daily lives. While mostly benign, revolutionarily affective technologies are emerging that pose potential autonomy, economic, and privacy harms to consumers. Interactive virtual reality, or VR gaming, is arguably chief among them. But despite its rapid adoption by consumers (often for use by children) and its demonstrable power to manipulate human cognition and behavior, the law is ill-equipped to curtail its harms. This is owed to a general incognizance of the now-extensive research on the technology’s manipulative effects and the consequent lack of discussion in public forums on how best to constrain them, both doctrinally and practically. This Article aims to enlighten lawmakers, jurists, and the general public about the effects of interactive VR, demonstrate how First Amendment doctrine permits the constraint of its manipulative harms, and illustrate what those constraints might look like in practice. In doing so, it raises the question: what or who is being played—the game or the consumer?

  • The Hothouse and Dynamic Equilibrium in the Works of Harold Pinter
    Ben Ferber The Hothouse and Dynamic Equilibrium in the Works of Harold Pinter I have no doubt that history will recognize Harold Pinter as one of the most influential dramatists of all time, a perennial inspiration for the way we look at modern theater. If other playwrights use characters and plots to put life under a microscope for audiences, Pinter hands them a kaleidoscope and says, “Have at it.” He crafts multifaceted plays that speak to the depth of his reality and teases and threatens his audience with dangerous truths. In No Man’s Land, Pinter has Hirst attack Spooner, who may or may not be his old friend: “This is outrageous! Who are you? What are you doing in my house?”1 Hirst then launches into a monologue beginning: “I might even show you my photograph album. You might even see a face in it which might remind you of your own, of what you once were.”2 Pinter never fully resolves Spooner’s identity, but the mens’ actions towards each other are perfectly clear: with exacting language and wit, Pinter has constructed a magnificent struggle between the two for power and identity. In 1958, early in his career, Pinter wrote The Hothouse, an incredibly funny play based on a traumatic personal experience as a lab rat at London’s Maudsley Hospital, proudly founded as a modern psychiatric institution, rather than an asylum. The story of The Hothouse, set in a mental hospital of some sort, is centered around the death of one patient, “6457,” and the unexplained pregnancy of another, “6459.” Details around both incidents are very murky, but varying amounts of culpability for both seem to fall on the institution’s leader, Roote, and his second-in- command, Gibbs.

  • Bullying in the Workplace Training Manual with Quiz Sheet
    Bullying in the Workplace 1 Bullying in the Workplace Workplace – COVID-19 Training Series WV DOH Training & Development Unit – COVID-19 – Training Manual 04/2020 Bullying in the Workplace 2 Introduction Bullying is called the silent epidemic. Although half of workers have experienced or witnessed bullying, policies and laws dealing with it are far less prevalent. This is, in part, because bullying can be hard to identify and address. People wonder, what does bullying look like? How can we discourage it in our workplace? What can I do to protect my staff and co-workers? All of these questions (and more!) will be answered in this training. Learning Objectives At the end of this workshop, you will be able to: o Define what bullying is and is not o Understand the costs of bullying to people and organizations o Identify bullying behaviors and the reasons behind them o Know some ways to prevent bullying and understand what role you can play o Know some ways to protect yourself from bullying o Know what to do if you are bullied o Identify appropriate solutions for a bullying incident (within and outside the organization) o Assist in creating an anti-bullying policy Session One: Defining Bullying What is Bullying? Let’s make sure that we’re all on the same page when it comes to talking about bullying. American bullying experts Drs. Gary and Ruth Namie give us this definition: “Bullying at work is repeated, health-harming mistreatment of a person by one or more workers that takes the form of verbal abuse; conduct or behaviors that are threatening, intimidating, or humiliating; sabotage that prevents work from getting done; or some combination of the three.” (Source: Page 3, The Bully at Work – Second Edition, Namie and Namie, 2009.

  • MIND GAMES V6.Indd
    PREFACE How many books claim to get inside the mind of serial killers? Too many fail to do just that. This book is different, because it’s not all about the grisly crimes those people have committed, it’s more about them as people, their innermost thoughts from childhood through to incarceration, or in some cases, death. It’s about their feelings, emotions, recollections and memories. It truly is about getting inside their heads and into their mindset. This work isn’t a gushing testimony about how wonderful global policing or the academic and scientific studies of serial killers is. None of those fields are supremely flawless, and let’s get this straight from the outset - there exists an abundance of misrepresentation relating to the serial killer phenomenon from all sides. Despite claims to the contrary, we don’t really understand them or their actions. In fact, after decades of working in this field and studying, researching and interacting with killers and those operating in the forensic aspect of this field, there exists a huge amount of inaccurate data on the subject, including the very origin of the term ‘serial killer’. I would suggest that few people reading this book will have heard of the German, Ernst August Ferdinand Gennat (1880 - 1939). He was, for a time, the Director of the Berlin Criminal Police. It was Gennat who first mentioned the term ‘serienmörder’ (translated into ‘serial murderer’) when referring to murderer Peter Kurten, in an article he penned titled ‘Die Düsseldorfer Sexualverbrechen’ in 1930. The phrase ‘serial killings’ was used by concentration camp survivor and biblical scholar, Robert Eisler, in his 1951 book ‘Man Into Wolf’, during which he referred to serial killings portrayed in the Punch and Judy plays for children.

We will then play a “Reacting to the Past” micro-game prototype, “The Jumonville Incident,” by Nicolas Proctor. We will follow this up with another one-day game “Peron is Dead,” by Mary Jane Treacy. Following their conclusion, we will evaluate their effectiveness as a teaching tools. As with the earlier conversation on game mechanics, this discussion will set the stage for gaining an understanding of what historical elements and game mechanics are necessary for the creation of a historical role-playing classroom game. To facilitate learning students will propose ideas for their own games. In the middle of the semester the class will choose three to four student-generated ideas to develop as a class and test at the end of the semester.
