My friend's first OkCupid experience, the Air Rifle Saga. A journey of failed manipulation and dick pics.

sighs This... Is unfortunately WAY more typical than a lot of folks realize. Whether it be from mental illness, drugs, or exterior factors, some people can have such bad depression and/or confidence issues that it can manifest itself in what are supposed to be somewhat normal situations (such as getting to know someone online). A simple conversation can turn into the person using tactics of manipulation and a huge hunking dose of "woe is me". A good example of that is when the girl said "good day?" and he turned it into her never wanting to see him, which eventually turned into him projecting how hopeless and worthless he felt. The weirdest part is that a lot of times the person uses these manipulation and anger tactics without even meaning to, in a sense. They'll sabotage most every relationship (particularly romantic ones),and it's almost as if they're testing the person they're talking with. They're mind will go "oh, I bet they won't like me anymore after I mention so and so." And they'll subconsciously do everything in their power to push people away, no matter how nice or caring you are towards them. A lot of times they do that with general unpleasantness, such as the type the examples in which this guy displayed in the last few screenshots.

But the sick person doesn't do that because they don't like the person they're talking with - in fact, a lot of times it's the opposite, meaning they like them too much. It's just that something in their mind is telling them that they themselves are unworthy as a person, and I guess they feel as if they have to project that mindset of theirs on to anyone they really like or try to get close to.

But have you ever had such a negative constant mindset about something to where it eventually came true? That happens a lot with this particular type of person, hence why a lot of their relationships end of sabotaged by their own doing.

Good on the girl for being kind, but especially good on her for stopping things after he crossed the line. It's sad because a lot of times these people are nice on the inside, but when you try your hardest to project that you're a screw up who deserves to be pushed away, then guess what? You're going to be pushed away, but unlike what you're mind is telling you it's actually you yourself that's doing the pushing.
