Masked Emotional Instability
Summary: Born or made or both, development years are key. Genetics show generations of something. Pay attention. Masked emotional instability requires boundaries; why? How to observe and step back with closure. Some film selections may or may not connect with every person. Some have ‘justified’ a reason to project something outwards with detachment and without processing, while others cannot process due to their childhood experiences and genetic development without the guidance of right and wrong, only hurt or bias so the external never gives the brain a chance to see something differently.
Psychology Today - The Risk Factors for Continuing the Cycle of Abuse
Contempt in the micro-expressions with feedback, and blameshifting with their actions onto someone else is a sign of a harmful undiagnosed disorder when triggers or fear of exposure happens. Many with NPD do not realise they have it or realise their childhood formed a damaged perception that requires professional help, not confirmation, to continue at the expense of others with the help of others. If born with high levels of what is classed as psychopathy, accountability may be a confusing subject to understand. Tests are available, and so is help.
Chargeable offences: Using abuse to hide abuse. Intent on abusing power, causing harm emotionally or physically with any type of aggression to contain truth or facts or abusive or manipulative behaviour. Documenting everything, educating on what might have been excluded for a number of reasons. Check the Domestic Abuse and Types of Stalker pages for references.
Masked emotional instability without an authentic foundation and genuine agenda. Triggers, statements and actions perform a service in disconnecting situations…Fear of exposure becomes a subject that has an aggressive coverup.… at any expense, which offers real exposure; something is happening under the surface, masked.
Can childhood be rebuilt so the ego wearing a crash helmet takes in reality… Only with instruction from professionals trained to endure the process.
Boundaries are key for everyone else; why?
Masters of deception are deceiving themselves first in their own self-construct matrix, also known as a façade, which is getting daily from the external votes to mask further, not grow, not face a truth or accountability for getting it wrong about other people’s emotions as they cannot feel them correctly if they have a bias in place, a system for one.
Dismantling the tangled human mind takes time… so boundaries are key for everyone else… everyone must re-educate.
As Dr Grande points out in one of his short films (and others), “many with a personality disorder from childhood development (where it starts) don’t realise they have one”. So boundaries are key for everyone else.
Some may claim “they are different and should be allowed to be different”. The key take-away is “not at the expense of someone else” or anyone’s mental or physical health, which they are detached from. Looking through opaque glass, if I was to simplify, “what is not felt is not seen”, that can be tested; they are actually tested daily and mask over it… its not just you, its their disorder, their responsibility, not yours, it follows them around.
Signs of delusion and masked emotional instability will accidentally appear in numerous areas, a shorter fuse, an inability to connect or be accountable, yes this is not a child we are talking about but something feels and ats the same… step back from any kind of emotional abuse, and apply boundaries.
If reality is what you make it and someone you may know is at the centre of their reality, if the feedback loop from childhood is still present, you may not be looking at an affected non-adult with body age hurting others because they are hurt but won’t fix it. Or they cannot process accountability because they were never taught how to be when they needed to be…drifting from a path that if pressure is applied, who is to tell them any different, right?
Watch out for the potholes, as that path has no maintenance or repairs… don’t mix it up with the tough path to walk; that one goes up, a lack of self-awareness is a circle of confusion.
You do the work, you are already above, go higher, go forward, backwards, left or right, you have a choice. When it feels like you always have choices, it may mean you have a system that offers choices.. So use them, use them wisely, that is your freedom… Once this is noted, the sky is the limit… feet firmly on the ground is a good place to be. Those who harm are not allowed; some don’t get it, while others can.
Sign off - Those who challenge/fight with civility may have a job on their hands because some just don’t get it, they can't undiagnosed in many cases, or they would consider actions differently. So remove the target or may continue to receive something through hurt, passed on trauma, unhealthy comparison or a disorder that cannot feel other humans correctly, only their own thoughts of what a world is to them.
Question: How would they know if it cannot be seen, or understood, then it cannot be felt. Only stimulation is needed and control in a disconnected reality; nothing else… that may be seen as a confusing target that requires purpose.
True or False: A person with affective and cognitive empathy will think one way with accountability, consideration and long-term choices, a person without will do something else when fear of exposure is triggered. Feedback is not an option; the lie behind the eyes is not processed in any way; it may be put on to someone else instead, guilt and shame are not in the equation, only “why me?” or “if I am hurting, so must they.”
AI: Yes, being too charming or polite at the beginning of a relationship can be a red flag, especially if it's accompanied by triangulation:
Triangulation
A manipulation tactic where a third party is brought into a disagreement to invalidate or validate someone. Narcissists often use triangulation in their relationships.
Excessive charm
Being overly charming or polite at the beginning of a relationship could be a sign that someone is grooming you. For example, an ex-boyfriend described by Louise Doughty in The Times started out charming but later became abusive and controlling.
Other signs that someone might be a narcissist include:
Having an excessive need for admiration
Lacking empathy
Having a grandiose sense of self-importance
Being entitled and exploitative
Being envious and belittling others
Having fragile self-esteem
Being manipulative or controlling
