It certainly feels like depression can shorten one's life, and it's usually a component to suicide.
I know a guy, none of us really like him anymore. Including his own family, except his Mother who akways enabled his poor behavoir.
He's in a relationship now, and that woman and her family keeps him in check, or else they'll most likely eject him like everyone else did.
I personally never burned any bridges with the guy, I just don't call him. It'll be a waste of time.
He is a narcissist. He ruins holidays and events. At his Father's 70th birthday party he came, got into a heated argument with some friends sons, how they disrespect him, how he's like a Father to them, then he left in 5 minutes.
That happened before I arrived. Around me he's more well mannered.
He is indeed depressed.
I think in the future he'll one day surface and try to kill some of us.
If the mechanisms Tryptamine speculates are true, then it really wouldn't surprise me that this guy I'm talking about will be obnoxious enough to defy the mechanism and actually attempt to kill us all.
If we collected everything that was ever said about him by all who knew him, it would take years to listen to all the gossip about him, and it would be extremely painful to hear people say such things about oneself, and it would all be correct, and true by experience.
Interesting enough he's the one who always called, and it will be him again. I was notified that he posted something on Facebook, but no interest it's likely social media keeps him afloat.
Why would he kill you all?
He's insistent of power and craves leadership but no one gives it to him. He's very passionate about that.
One winter we had an ice storm and the ice on his GF's family driveway solidified. As an ass it took him several hours to clear it, and now he suggests they owe him $3,000, yet at the time he freeloaded there for a year before the family sent him to go live with his Mom.
Now he's a bit of a threat to the family, brings drama etc. He hates them all trembling in anger endlessly while he's the cause.
To him I'm like Mr. Spock. He's well behaved in my presence and he boasts how great I am. I can't keep giving him my energy, cause I can't seem to accomplish anything around him. The time before we spoke his new girl said i should've killed him, but I have so much patience. He kept love bombing me and I told him to knock it off, but he'd insist. If it's not that he'll annoy me some other way.
It's been several months and we haven't spoken. I've known him 33 years. There's a monster brewing inside of him and it'll probably come out when it's too late for him to make something of himself. God made me stronger than him for many reasons, him being one it seems. It won't surprise me if he'll try to set me on fire one day as part of his killing spree. He tends to blame others for his short comings and failures.
Can't confirm it'll happen, just that it wouldn't surprise any of us.
I can carry on about him but I feel like it'll damage my soul.
