We all know that person. That person who has built up in their own mind who they believe "appear" they are. However, their little belief of them self doesn't actually coincide with reality. Then you get caught up in their fantasy world and try to act accordingly. Well at least until that fantasy world and reality become so far from anything recognizable that you have to take a step back and go whoa. Now this person may be doing this consciously in attempt to build a world that suits them best, or unconsciously because they can barely see farther than their own nose. Once you realize this gorge of disconnect you stop and address this person and futilely attempt to explain that you are living in two different worlds. One world that is make believe and the other reality. Now as much as you would like to make this discrepancy evident I would advise against it. No one wants to be told the world they are living is false and only serves them. I would recommend not being around this person when that world comes into question, and they actually stop to think about it. The result is not a pretty one. I now regret shattering that world. It's like telling a 4 year old that Santa Clause does not exist but instead of crying for a lost fictional icon the grown person will lash out in the most vicious way. All logic is lost at this point. Instead of considering what the person is saying they go into sheer attack mode. They will say things to/about you that will make you feel like you are being roasted on comedy central. Low blows no longer exist, every blow has malicious intent in order to cripple you for the sheer purpose to make you feel as bad as they do, now that their fictional world has been questioned and the cracks in their fantasy begin to show themselves. They will even go as far as to attack your close friends for absolutely no reason. So when this happens all one needs to do is hunker down and let the insults flow off you like beads of sweat. Keep in mind you have just told this person Santa doesn't exist and the best way they no how to reconciliate is to attempt to tear you down. DO NOT take the bait, that is exactly what they want. They want you to make outlandish derogatory statements so that you will then stoop to their level which is not a good thing which I will explain why shortly.
So they have spilled their load as you pseudo listened to them desperately try and fill the cracks in their bio-dome. Inevitability they will end the conversation although you have been attempting to end the conversation for some time. Not just end the conversation mind you, but go as far to block you as if you have any intention in talking to this person again after they called you a dead beat and told you your mother sucks cock (ok they didn't really say that part but I'm sure it slipped their mind at the time). So you reflect on the conversation, wipe your brow and crack a brew believing its all over and can move on. Not so fast. That person contacts you a couple of days later which you may or may not have been expecting. In my case I thought is was over. Silly me. They hit me up with like 16 text messages apologizing for the things they said and just want some more clarity as to why I threw a rock thru their fantasy dome. DO NOT fall for this ploy as I did. They're not actually sorry, they just say they are apologizing to get a foot in the door. It is done quite brilliantly saying all the right things to get you to lower your guard. As soon as you do BAM, they are right back at it. Not only do they revert back to the rhetoric from the other day, they also become absurdly petty, like pointing out misspelled words and bad grammar as if your text should be on par with an academic paper. They are still upset that you have torn down their fantasy world and are now having to face actual reality and most times they don't like what they see. So they take it out on you. You can choose to partake in a ridiculous conversation that goes nowhere fast, which I did. Or you can bitch up and tell them they are completely right and you are wrong blah blah blah... vomit. Fuck that, don't let em off easy. I just kept responding to their nonsense until they blocked me again which I was quite grateful for. So at the end of the day I lost a fictitious/fake friend which ultimately means I lost nothing.
