Re: Things you want to say but got no one to say to

You tried to take everything from me.

I was a perfect target for you. Caring, loyal, generous. A damaged people-pleaser. Someone so used to being blamed for everything that she'd take whatever responsibility was thrown her way no matter how ridiculous it is.

You used that to your advantage. You used me for everything I had. Every last scrap of empathy, until even your suicide threats (purely for attention, I realize now) had me tempted to call your bluff instead of run to your aid. To tell you to just do it already, if only so you fucking. shut. UP.

And that was when I realized you had turned me into someone I didn't want to be.

Like a vampire on a purely emotional level, you were intent on sucking and bleeding me of every last drop of compassion I had, until I became the empty shell you are. Yes, you are empty. You fake it well enough. You have the superficial charm, the nerdy charisma. But underneath it, there is nothing. No warmth, no love, no emotion of any kind. And so you fill that space with the praise and attention and affection that you drain out of other people.

In my case, you failed. Because I finally saw what you were doing. Dragging me away from friends I had known for more than a decade because you wanted all of that sweet, sweet attention for yourself. I finally saw you for what you were and decided I'd had enough of your bullshit.

And I walked away.

You even tried to take the fandom we shared away from me, by forcing me to associate it with your abuse. You failed at that, too. Like hell am I going to let you rob me of everything that makes me happy. I'm not giving you that power. You're not nearly as strong as you think. It takes a lot more than a sniveling, manipulative pissant like you to destroy my love for a fandom that I've been in since you were literally in diapers.

Bitch, you're not taking that from me. I was here first.

Until that last paragraph, I thought you were talking about someone I know who used to do the very same things (until it all blew up in their face.) It's sad there are so many emotionally manipulative and abusive assholes out there.

What about the last paragraph changed your mind?

Maybe the person AYRT is talking about didn't share a fandom? Or at least didn't share a fandom with that kind of age disparity?

I think everyone in fandom has known at least one person like this. I'm not sure if it's the internet (anonymity plus audience equals raging unchecked fuckwad) or the nature of fandom (make-believe, roleplaying, fantasy, etc.) but online fandom in particular seems to attract these Cluster B Personality Disorder types like flies to a manure pile.
