@UniqueDoug, you are your own worst enemy, but i don't think you have the balls to face facts head on and deal with what needs to be done. Same old, same old..... Nobody here is gossiping. They are criticizing based on your behavior. Those are two totally different things. Later man... text if you like, but it's no less than brutal honesty, no matter how harsh or insensitive, from me from here on out. |

I've always liked the guy, and was genuinely worried last time. He pushes back if you show concern. |

I used to think I could hang with him and have a beer etc. but no more. Now he uses his mental health as a free pass. No motivation. No aspirations. Attention span of a gnat with common sense to match. |

I foolishly thought after this past breakdown, he might emerge from the fire seeking to heal and be better, and get his shit together. I was dead wrong. He does not WANT to be better. In his eyes, we are seeing him wrong and he's just fine. Well, that isn't true and it means everything he does and says is intentional and by his design. Therefore...**** him. He can crash and burn a dozen times and one time he may not come back. There will be a string of posts about his passing, both good and bad, his name will come up once in a while, and life will go on. I'll offer my opinion, but not my support. He's a mess that is happy being a mess. Maybe I should envy the fact that he has embraced his train wrecks, while I still fight to avoid mine. |

I explained the empathy. I did consider him an on-line friend. We have both been over there for a very long time. I used to live in Georgia not far from him. I don't care " so much" about him. The majority of my threads ( and I mentioned this) were ABOUT him, not TO him. I post in all types of threads, His is not getting any more attention than other threads I post it. I also hate when words are twisted or communication manipulated so I often go down the rabbit hole trying to make, and then reiterate, a solid point that can't be twisted around.

Everyone needs to recognize that there are 2 Dougs - the "normal" and the manic.
The manic Doug needs medicine, support, and empathy. His actions are not under his control. He is merely a "body" that is under the control of an out-of-control brain. Being aggressive toward him is not helpful to his condition, and he will be triggered farther. Unless you want his problem to get worse, simply offer good advice, or leave him alone. If you want him to get worse, your problems may be worse than his. The normal Doug is simply who he is normally, and not out-of-control. He has a lot of strange ways and beliefs that many choose to rag on. That's fair. Seems to be a lot of "normal" people who won't accept him as he is - the good and the bad Doug. |

I have no time for either and I think that is enabling his behavior to explain it away. Normal Doug needs to seek help for abnormal Doug, but he doesn't.
Normal Doug should practice humility and apologize or otherwise address abnormal Doug and ask that people be patient/understanding whatever. If normal Doug sought help, abnormal Doug would fade. The conclusion I draw is that there is is a messed up Doug and a VERY messed up Doug and neither one of them is very tolerable. My comments in his thread are for others to read since Doug doesn't care to get well. |

Why talk about him, this is almost turning into The View. He doesn't affect anyone's lives here. It's almost like sitting around a bunch of old women talking about so and so.
