   pretending to understand esoteric matters but displaying no comprehension. It   
   is especially a sign of mental illness if the same patterns of posting and   
   attacks and problems are repeated in places that are different. Zero self   
   awareness. Delusions. Not    
   codeswitching or responding to environment or audience. Wrapped up in needs to   
   express an inner world, which has nothing at all to do with reality. These are   
   signs of very severe psychiatric problems."

   > >>> Pseudologia fantastica is also known as mythomania, compulsive lying, or   
   pathological lying, "falsification entirely disproportionate to any   
   discernible end in view, may be extensive and very complicated, and may   
   manifest over a period of years or    
   even a lifetime".  People with this disorder are deceptive, they mix the truth   
   with lies, in order to add plausibility to their tales. The lies are designed   
   to protect the liar, by allowing him  to feel truthful when defending   
   statements. The tendency to    
   lie does not fade. People lie to present a false self, or fake outward image,   
   to the world. The importance of being perceived as brave vs. cowardly, strong   
   vs. weak, good vs. bad, et cetera, may be a prime motivation for compulsive   
   lying that paints the    
   liar in a positive light. Embellishment of stories, in order to make the   
   person with this disorder seem more powerful and impressive, may be a part of   
   this mental health disorder.   
   > >>>   
   > >>> Lying is defined as knowingly and intentionally creating false   
   statements. Pathological lying is a mental health disorder, due to its ability   
   to override rational judgment and send the liar into a non-real world. Telling   
   a lot of lies is a common    
   symptom of a variety of mental illnesses. The lies are typically very easy to   
   see through, and can seem rather absurd, as they often serve no purpose. A   
   pathological liar will suffer a loss of reputation, loss of relationships, and   
   loss of respect among    
   rational people.

   especially in social media where the liar will seek out a following of   
   similarly deluded individuals to reinforce the delusions.

   > >>> Steve Pickering wants negative attention for very specific reasons. He   
   needs to feel or be persecuted for validation. It excuses him for taking   
   responsibility, whatever the outcome of what he does or produces. If he does   
   something well, he has been    
   victorious against the oppressors who want to destroy him for being Jewish. If   
   he fails, he can blame the persecutors - the totally imagined ones - for   
   misunderstanding his position so he is correct, no matter what facts are   
   presented or for attacking    
   him so much so he cannot complete his work. It also provides a sense of   
   identity. Take away the oppressed Jewish victim persecution status, and he has   
   to stand alone as an individual - to succeed or fail by himself, but he has   
   never created ANY coherent    
   content himself. His entire being in all aspects depends on him being Jewish   
   and being persecuted. If it doesn't exist, he has to create it... because   
   without it he cannot operate. His homeostasis depends on him taking the   
   position and identity of    
   oppressed Jewish victim in every interaction. He cannot ever be just 'Stephan'   
   because there is no 'Stephan'. Just as he cannot post a comment or send a   
   message anywhere without that convoluted signature to make him even more an   
   object of ridicule. The    
   signature is him... So much anger about things that are actually delusions.   
   Empty. Elements of schizophrenia, delusions, his paranoia and his lack of   
   theory of mind seem to indicate something on the schizophrenic path.

   would be Steve Pickering's... although it could be race, gender, religion,   
   aliens, dinosaurs, pickles...) and they will use it as a weapon against others   
   as a way of dealing with    
   frustrations and fear. This gives them power when they feel powerless and   
   inferior. It allows them to feel like they have control and moral superiority   
   when they are in reality weak and useless. It is not about whether the   
   repliers have done or said    
   anything antisemitic, it is that they have made Pickering feel weak and   
   useless and he has to find the strongest weapon to throw at them to avoid   
   seeing himself as he is. It works. People abandon any dialogue as pointless   
   facing such unfettered insanity."
