    Met a guy at the local boardgame event. Got to talking about how he was always driven out of gaming groups and nobody invites him anymore and a lot more of “oh woe is me” stuff. I recognized a bit of my younger self in him and how used the same schtick to get sympathy and social interaction before I learned how toxic this behaviour is. I wanted to try and mentor him out of this self-defeating behaviour so I invited him to my place.

    When he came in treated my family like a complete asshole. Couldn’t make them suffer for one dude.

      I used to be like that of wanting to mentor too. I wanted to help others get to where I’m at. Apparently a lot of these folks are serious energy vampires and I am always left mentally exhausted.

      Kinda need to wake up to their own BS.
