k yeah - it's a kind of weird spellcasting of confusion. Not really spell-casting but here you're trying to be reasonable and she's tossing out stuff that keeps you guessing. She probably thinks it makes her mysterious, like one of the Oracles of Delphi - women who would issue mad prophecies at men who believed they had some kind of secret wisdom or whatever. == It's a kind of hypnosis technque... but hypnosis requires consent and as long as you're trying to comprehend her, you're giving her consent to continue and she can continue her procedure.I experimented with that once for fun: [1]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPPJEYgDIEA I found a script online that is designed to confuse the listener. It works very well on people who are rational thinkers because as they're following along, they get lost and scrambled.She's using a very advanced technique. This script I'm using here is primitive but it work. I couldn't hypnotize people though - it doesn't feel right / ethical. But I like knowing *how* it works so I can avoid it when someone's trying to do it to me in some way. == Yeah. She left you with a void now. She temporarily destablized your "sense of self", inserting herself in your world. Part of you is still trying to process what can't be processed. You're still, in a sense, "under her spell". You have to cut her loose mentally, distract yourself with other things, let her go. She put her confusing into you and you have to get rid of it now. == It's a game. Whether she's doing it consciously, on drugs or naturally, it's a game. She engaged with you in conversation, left you with the baggage. Loneliness in general is kinda normal though. i district myself constantly going from project to project but underneath it, there's an undercurrent of melancholy. it's there. It never goes fully away, but I acknowledge it and press on until I forget it's there for a bit. That's what I love about engaging with fascinating unique individuals like yourself online: it's a connection that helps let me know that I'm not alone, that some of my experiences are relatable and helps me press on with life. == Acting like she knew you instantly threw you into a tizzy, your brain was working overtime trying to compare her to EVERYBODY you've ever known online and in real life. Meanwhile, she's talking about having to pee, giving strange details about her life that ALMOST make sense but not quite... and, making you feel like you _should_ know what she's talking about but don't, making you wonder if there's something wrong with you, even though rationally you know it's her. Why do ppl do that? I dunno. I guess they're bored and you're their toy of the moment. *== *Oh good good... I'm glad tbh. People like her kinda piss me off honestly. Someone like you who are very mentally and emotionally strong can resist those kinds of tricks, but I feel bad for those people who can't and get sucked in. == *Suddenly you find yourself paying for a bus ticket/ plane ticket to see her or her to see you. You isolate yourself further from other people you know because you need more of the confusion they're feeding (and whatever perks they give you). They act like they have the answers but only give you more questions, making their reign over you last for months and years. It's kinda scary honestly. I'm really glad you got out quick. == It is. There's lots of good people out there but once in a while, you come across someone like that. == *Well, she might not and yet she might. Everybody's lifespans are different, whatever the statistics say. Besides, love is the connection in the "now"; it's transient and fleeting which is what makes it precious when you find it. It's an amazing thing that you're here at all to experience it: All of the reasons you might _not_ be here are huge, and yet, here you are. == Well, that's something you have to think about. Sometimes a relationship can run its course - or you can love someone so much that you see further than they do and see that you being out of the picture for them might be better than being in the picture, even if they can't see it at the time.It's a hard place you're in. My heart emoticon is with you 'cause it's not easy. == *Thanks smile emoticon That was a tough question - one of the toughest out there that I've ever heard. Thanks for sharing yourself with me here - it's an honor to be trusted like this. like emoticon == "ts an honor to meet someone like you...I hope I can be like you when I get a little older " == *As long as you're being yourself, whatever that is, that's perfect. G'nite like emoticon == References Visible links 1. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DEPPJEYgDIEA&h=7AQHlLZXR
