someone who plays the âi wantâ card when you tell him about how his behavior affects you
I told Alex he hurt me, and he responded, âI want, and you shouldâ instead of fixing his behavior.
someone who claimed that the only reason someone wouldnât want to be his slave is an obstacle of depression that he can cure by arguing about his entitlement
Alex tried to enslave me, and when that didnât work he criticized my âmindâ for not thinking that heâs the greatest and godliest being that has ever survived birth.
someone who says heâs agreeable for his own self-confidence as he denies all the damage he causes to every elseâs lives
Alex pursues my cooperation with such a vehement disregard for the negativity of his behavior that his arguments of righteousness look like an insult.
someone who doesn't think he can do wrong and continues down every path that hurts you because his mommy said heâs a good guy
I told Alex he hurt me, and the next day he argued about how heâs a good guy and I should trust him (and his disgusting behavior).
someone who trusts that heâs getting his way no matter how he treats another person and blames all his shortcomings on another personâs thinking and feeling
I told Alex to stop, and he argued about my mind the next day.
Heâs a bad lawyer. If you ever get in a sticky situation, heâll have you locked up. Heâll have you locked up as your private defensive attorney. He canât argue for shit. He canât use anything but his own ignorance as leverage. Heâll make you realize that all the times you were worried about the charges against you, you shouldâve been worried about him. Heâll be a bigger problem than the case itself. Heâs someone who should have his license revoked. You canât tell if he doesnât care about the case or heâs trying to get you indicted, but he wants you to worship him as your savior, because the only reason he became a lawyer is to dream about the impact heâs had on another personâs life, so much so that he forgets about the job in between.
Whoâs your lawyer?
Martin.
Aw, shit. Youâre fucked.
Heâs creative. Heâs a dreamer. Heâs the boy who obsesses over youâthe boy who wants to be your boyfriend. The boy who wants to be everything he isâjust so you make him feel like heâs the only person in the world. Can he do it though? Is he too stuck in his imagination? He might not care about whatâs happening in the real world. He might pretend that it doesnât exist when he gets frustrated. Is it his self-image? Is it his rationale? Sometimes you canât tell if heâs just ignorant in his imagination or heâs too lazy to create for the real world. Maybe he doesnât want validation. Maybe he hasnât realized that his dreams donât align with reality. Maybe heâs doing all the wrong things with ulterior motivation. But one thing is sure. He wants to be just like your boyfriend. He wants to create that relationship with you. Itâll be in the back of his mind for years to come. He might even attempt to recreate that relationship with someone else, or maybe, just maybe, heâll learn to appreciate himself, instead of obsessing over the people in his environment and dreaming of who he could become or how he could be perceived.
He never stops thinking about her.
Who, Martin?
Yes, what does he want?
He wants to be her everythingâthe center of her attention.
But Reginold, youâre the center of her attention!
All the more reason.
