When someone is ascending to a better place, you're that hand that grabs their foot trying to pull them back down. Some will go down with you, some will shake you off, and some, will stomp and shatter your face, and you'd still do it again.
When someone claims to be ascending to a better place, I'll ask them questions to figure if it's real or not.
Nine times out of ten, it's delusion or coping, but that one out of ten say something that teaches me something about life. So far, I have not seen anything new from his post, even down to the female influences in his life that beckon him to try harder before he succumbs to proclaiming himself above them via egoist wounding compensation.
Put this next to his history on this forum, and again, it's worth questioning the narration. He had these patterns prior and I see no reason to assume their absence here; we've heard the 'I'm turning things around' story and it didn't pan out once his hyperactivity and ego shook hands.
Mental illness doesn't disappear, it's compensated for. He's compensating, but I question if he's doing so in the right ways when compared to his history of omissions and downplays, when compared to his cope-based optimism that precedes the fall.
I'd love to believe he's magically cured, but I tend to see patterns emerge instead.
People change. Didn't you know that ? While Slay no longer frequents here, is it really hard to believe when he says this place is negative ?
On a case by case basis, there's far more signs of people who blame this place as if personally responsible for their issues, rather than focusing on the issues themselves while asking what it is about the environment that exacerbates the issue. In one way or another, it has often been a scapegoat for people to avoid their own input into the issues they keep finding themselves in.
He never blamed SC for anything.
I interpreted it from the following, but it is admittedly conjecture:
Since removing myself from discord and all other mental illness echo chambers a few years ago, I have since:
He then follows this with distancing language, appeasing his own narcissistic ego by proclaiming distance from the community that successfully shamed him:
I obviously don't relate to people here any longer. Perhaps I was never that crazy, just someone who lacked proper guidance and wanted to fit in with the wrong people. Regardless, these communities taught me a lot.
When compared to how he spoke to people here before, the problem was that this environment knew how to feel on his Narc Triggers. By being with basic people they tend to be dumber, and therefor less capable of taking blatant advantage of him when compared to 'mental illness echo chambers', as he put it.
Places that attract those of mental illness serve as a way to pick up patterns. When you can assign psychological labels to their behaviors, you begin to see echoes of it in other people with similar afflictions.
At best he said this place fills him with a nastyi feeling.
It triggers a very real area within him that he has since said has occurred in other 'mental illness echo chambers'. If he were more stoic, he'd face those triggers so he may overcome them, but instead he flees... save for times like now where he feels strong enough within his wounded vulnerability to try to convince us all of his success in order to further convince himself through his peers and brave declarations.
He's easily triggered and running from his problems, but at least in the running he desires success. The question is moreso if it will last, since he has already demonstrated avoidance and denial in the past over things an entire audience of people could easily contradict with low effort quoting.
Most any returning member will look at this place and see nothing but [list of bad things]
It strongly depends from person to person. As I've said for years, you get out of this place what you put into it.
This place has served as a mirror for most people, as those who are local here are quick to parrot back to them their own claims and behaviors with comparisons to elsewhere. It's similar to how Contrapoints used to log onto 4chan to 'see herself', except SC doesn't need an 'anonymous' tag to say their truths.
I've had a lot of time to question what people have gotten out of the place, and the answer is always 9/10ths projection.
He simply said this place no longer aligns with him. He hasn't been here in years. I wasn't in his discord but he claims to have shut it down years ago too, maybe someone can confirm that. I wouldn't narrow that down to blame. Slay comes here and what's the appeal after so long ?
Compare it to his older posts dude, instead of projecting all over him.
If his older posts were the case, he'd not need to pick up the pieces so many times after numerous expressions of self sabotage. His next manic episode or ego wounding or whatever it is that drives him to these errors could step in here just as quickly as it has for his other attempts.
That being said, the attempt is good, but outright denial and distancing from the places that bring out his truth is him running from his problems, and as long as he's running he'll never overcome it. He is giving blatant avoidance vibes when compared to his older posts.
I believe Chapo flew to Miami to hunt down Slay to challenge him to a street fight. Chapo slept in a park waiting for Slay to show up so he can break his ass. This is all 2nd hand information Alice told me.
Slay pussied out, and was fucked up over it for weeks over how it wounded his ego to do so.
He shows classic narc tendencies, which with his posting style has me believe he hasn't 'ascended' as you put it so much as is trying to look at this situation with a gambler's optimism.
In Slay's last message he also claimed to still have desires to kill and hurt people. lol the man in the golf cart news report cried, and when asked why he did it, Slay has no real answer. Maybe he wanted to hurt the guy for not giving him a job, or maybe he was kicking off the gold course, who knows, and while Slay appears shameless he really never liked what came next, though what came next was probably one of the best things to happen to him.
For what he is, I do think it's better for him to get the hell out of here. It will do me good too in all honesty, as I'm forced to be an asshole in here.
I think his post reeks of avoidance and fear, and he is proclaiming these things to try to lie to himself.
He is distancing from the things that triggered him as if they were to blame, when really, his weakness and vulnerability towards specific triggers is to blame. It takes mental illness based communities to notice these patterns the fastest, and that's what he's immediately and repeatedly demonized.
I am convinced he is not any better than the last time(s) he claimed this, and even further, that his sudden resurfacing to tell us this shows us that he's not over those wounds that surfaced from the truths he didn't want to see being reflected back at him by those who know what to look for.
