Realizing your friend is a type of NPC
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77983873 United States 08/06/2021 03:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Realizing your friend is a type of NPC Ok, this is new to me. It hit me kind of hard. Its taken years to realize this - but my friend - who I know from my military service and who lives in another state, a state we served in ~ he cannot really picture me outside of the realm of the space I inhabited with him. I was thinking at times he is just not listening to me talk about my world - but I think its because he literally CANNOT PICTURE even in his imagination me out of the realm of the world he knew me in - its like he hears my voice and all ~ (we talk on the phone) but its like I am just off in some black void of space some where. When we talk about the space we inhabited together he perks right up and is engaged. But he tunes out when I talk about my life, where I live now - Florida. I am just writing about this - because maybe someone else has a sort of relationship disconnect with someone they care about - and its like those NPC memes about what apple do you picture on a scale from 1-5 - and in some frames there is no or barely an apple - and only in one frame is there an actual apple. This might explain more of that disconnect people have with others, could be a parent in another state, a friend from childhood, etc. - Not are they on another page in view, politically etc. - they CAN'T EVEN ENVISION YOU IN THIS OTHER PLACE - you are just a discombobulated voice. Obviously I have insomnia so I am playing with thoughts.

Or have you realized someone close to you - is just not all the way there?

Quoting: OldCar I don't know why it took me forever to see this ~ I just block deleted my drunk friend who puts me through the ok, ok, ok ritual. I was nice enough to not ghost, I wrote an email - stating things are just not on the same page with us anymore. She wrote a long, nasty wall of text back. I just deleted it. I am turning into Greta Garbo, just wanting to be left alone.

But now that you see their faults, you can still choose to be loving. You are wise enough to recognize it’s a one way street with them and you are basically an unimportant card board cut-out. Be kind to yourself and surround yourself with caring people even if it’s a dog! Be grateful that you have a full heart and you can feel for others. This is a gift to you. These types of NPC are “monkey” minded and they just take without any feelings of gratitude, care, or love. They have low levels of consciousness. Don’t expect anything from them because they are unable. They are disabled people. You can forgive, show them kindness and love, and move forward.

But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." Marcus Tullius Cicero

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73314314 Thank you for your kind reply. I wasn't mad at him, just totally shocked to realize he could not visualize me out of the context of how he had previously known me. There are other things going on with him, and I - maybe due to deployment exposures. He has giant chunks of missing memory from our time in the sand box. I had some pretty weird obsessions when I got back. People really changed. This has me thinking about other angles. Thank you.

When out of sight we are out of mind but if I go to his house he doesn't want me to leave. He will talk about anything to keep me there but puts zero energy into relationship. He can't think beyond himself.
