    The only people I’ve told were individually rationalized as part of them understanding the potential risks, benefits, and expectations associated with the magnitude of presence I had in their life. In general, most are better off if I don’t communicate freely, including myself.

    If someone provides an acceptable-to-me explanation of why it’d benefit society for me to tell this audience that story, then I will.

      We’re strangers on the internet, what are we going to do? Track you down and get you arrested for a potentially embellished to fake story?

        potentially embellished to fake

        Imagine my perspective knowing such is the audience’s perception.

        Some nuance is better kept outside the digital world and individualized.

      You could just say “I made it up because my parents starved me of attention when I was a kid”, it’s shorter

        Nailed it. Homeboy here thinks nobody deserves accolades for doing the right thing… his own “story” is as real as Santa Claus.

          Narcissists are all pathological liars, because like you stated, they were starved of attention as children.
