Welcome to the Russellverse, fren. Mind the puddles of drool.
I'm glad I didn't discover who he was when I was still living next to him. Because I would have legit considered moving. I'm not joking.
Well, if you ever slipped on any inexplicable puddles on a bright sunny day, now you know why.
?
I'd wager he's either too busy feeding coins into one armed bandit or just hatching his next master plan.is is possible at the age of 30 he is starting to learn his lesson or is that just
Maybe he's finally accepted he's never gonna get that follow back and has been in a deep depression these last few weeks
As of last week he's still trying. He tagged her in his gym selfie.
He dropped a shitload of money on his Yovanna vid and his AGT audition vid. The post about how he was going to a pawn shop to sell a "rare coin" and book indicated to me he's short of cash. He also thought he was going to be on Pawn Stars, but that's another thing to laugh at.
He could always pawn off his mouth to that guy he gave the handy
There are 2 kinds of narcissism, vulnerable narcissism (low self-esteem + high ego), and grandiose narcissism (high self-esteem + high ego).This is an area I find super interesting: The notion of narcissistic grandiosity being a cover for insecurity. That’s certainly the theoretical explanation for narcissism and is also a way to sort of feel better about how shitty narcissists can act.
brief background: In one of my undergrad classes I recall the instructor claiming that this was largely myth, however, or at least unfounded. She cited research on bullies and gang leaders with high displays of confidence and ego and discussed how they tended to perform similarly on tests as those with legitimate confidence and no narcissism scored.
I don’t really think I knew much more of the study or research she was citing so I went to look it up, as I wondered if it was based on fMRI or neurological imaging. I couldn’t find anything to support her argument, but found tons on recent neuroscience studies looking at brain activity in narcissists and supporting the notion that they do in fact use grandiosity to cover self-loathing. They also, obviously, show significant difficulties in parts of the brain related to emotion regulation and empathy.
However, the studies all indicate that their brain processing differs drastically from their self-reported emotional/cognitive experience. Meaning, when looking at the possibility of being rejected, their brains show distress but on self-report measures of distress, they deny any difficult with such scenarios, which could be them compensating, or could be them not realizing their own neurobiological response. So, even if Russell does have deep insecurity as a mask, I’m not quite sure that’s something he even notices. It’s not clear if he knows he’s masking his insecurity or if really thinks he is talented and a hot stud.
Narcissists have such terrible insight and mentalization for themselves and others, that I’m not convinced that they doesn’t truly think they are superior even as their brains react with discomfort when engaging in self-appraisal tasks. I’m wondering what other biological data would show. Like, if Russell is asked if he’s attractive while hooked up to a polygraph, would he pass? His brain processes would show distress, but brain and mind differ.
In case you’re interested in an overview, here’s a link to a pretty good article on the subject.

Nah man. You gotta be able to suck to give a good blowjob. Apart from the drool factor, even Bubba in Las Vegas lockup wouldn't have much use for Russell's maw.
I went to his ED page for a QRD because I don't feel like reading a thread longer than the Bible. I became dumber on the spot.
I bet the coin and book were worth nothing or next to nothing.
The idea that a defective mind lives in a defective body is quite common so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people treated him with kid gloves because it's not nice to pick on the retard if they can't help being a retard. But Pipsqueak does everything he can to prevent people from thinking he's defective in any way. So he's all trying to say he's not a retard in a totally retarded way and they're all acting as if he's a good boy for being able to do so.
