I was using this social media app and I had a really bizarre experience with a person. To cut a long story short they were highly intelligent but didn't care about facts. They knew the facts but always lied about them whenever it suited them socially. There are crazy people like that in this world but this person wasn't crazy. And they weren't violent either. And they weren't particularly insulted. They were just an aggressive gas lighter. But they couldn't gaslight me and I think that frustrated them maybe? It was very strange. It happened on the internet. I had never experienced anything like it and quite so intense before in the way that it was. I developed a friendship with them really fast in a day where it seemed that we had so much in common. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere they turned on me. Maybe I am just seemingly vulnerable and gullible but this person didn't actually hurt me. Just confused me. Made me wonder what their motives are and what the point of that was. Perhaps they aren't used to encountering people like me. They talked about what a bad and nasty person I was when I was the exact opposite. It's very strange. They told me not to waste their time but they seemed to want to just want to waste mine.

I want to leave the following note on their profile so if I encounter them again by accident I will remember who it is and not waste my time again:

'Possibly the most psychotic person I've ever met. Wants to accuse me of the very thing that they are doing even when I am completely silent and innocent. Wants to rush me to talk when they are telling me to take all the time in the world. Wants to refuse to ban me despite the fact I request to be banned because I am worried about even encountering them by accident. Acts like I'm the psychotic one. Literally was the first to call my own beliefs crazy but then says I am gaslighting them when I say that the situation was weird. Unimpressive in anything besides manipulation. Doesn't like how I can see through their bullshit because I am even more logical than they are manipulative.'

Yes, no,...... maybe.

Are you a friend of @Ahriman?

No. We don't know each other.

Separated at birth? Could be an excellent 23andme application.

Reminds me of the concept of splitting, a characteristic of borderline PD.

You're idealized one minute and demonized the next. No thinking in terms of greys.

ETA: Not diagnosing the person you speak of at all. Just saying what what you described reminds me of.

Poking the bear is generally ill-advised.

Exactly, just look at  the claws!

I mean, we could be kindred spirits but I'd have to interact with them in order for me to actually test the hypothesis.

Them? That may be more accurate than you know.
