@PeggyStasinos Peggy this reply is about 4 years late! I don’t know why I have just seen your post. Thank you for your very kind and generous words. The column folded alongside the entire Saturday magazine. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Nearly finished my PhD. Hope you are well. Sandy x

@ZMadon Thank you! There was a lot to be said about this disorder and its impact on victims. 🙌

This doc on Aussie Belle Gibson is interesting but hardly surprising. SM is nuclear weaponry for Communal & Vulnerable narcissists. Seen it first hand up close. mUh cAnCeLLaTiOn, mUh cHiLdHoOd AbUsE.

Vulnerable narcs will make up all sorts of things to get attention. Mostly twisting semi-truths and misreporting events to spin a narrative that suits their victim persona. It is almost impossible for their social media followers to tell fact from fiction. You may even be guilt tripped into throwing money at their crowdfund and paypal. It's the easiest grift and most difficult to disprove without serious due diligence.

One Occam's razor test - if someone is the perennial 24/7 victim, if EVERYONE in their past was an "abuser", if the entire world is out to get them at all times, chances are they're playing you.

Best takeaway from the doc is a quote by psychologist @Sandy_Rea_ - "Pathological lying is someone who's lost touch with reality, and have immersed themselves in their story. The lies have become their reality."

@YYccdaiying @philpsychpsy @evelinlindner @JCUCHS @jcu I suppose all researchers need to look at any phenomenon at the individual-language level first, before moving to an understanding of said phenomenon in another language.

[Sandy Rea @Sandy_Rea_]

In our review, Rea et al. (2024) found the meaning of humiliation varied in the literature. It is vital for researchers to be cognisant of the different meanings ascribed to the emotion. @philpsychpsy @evelinlindner @JCUCHS @jcu

[Sandy Rea @Sandy_Rea_]

@YYccdaiying @philpsychpsy @evelinlindner @JCUCHS @jcu It is likely that it does. Firstly, it’s unclear if humiliation is universally experienced. Secondly, the nature of language means that there are likely to be many words that index the experience.

@UngGym @TraceySpicer Sorry that was never my intention or advice. Child abuse? Family support to ensure both the boys and girls are safe in the future. It is clear many think they SHOULDNT be left alone. They have been expelled.

[Sandy Rea @Sandy_Rea_]

@UngGym @TraceySpicer Neither funny nor insightful. I have suggested a fair, structured intervention that will ensure these boys can be supported to be good, kind, moral and loving men. I have not suggested punitive or isolating tactics. Not sure what you read into the suggestion.

[Sandy Rea @Sandy_Rea_]

@TraceySpicer I think we all share collective outrage. BUT I think we change the dynamics by working with the families of these young boys. Keep the boys at school, engage in restitution and reeducation and make them endure the consequences rather than simply punish them by exclusion. 1/2

Violent female adolescents in Queensland. On the @thetodayshow @karlstefanovic_ @sarahabo taking about a disturbing story of violence and social media. Four broad risk factors: Individual attributes, family, education, and community. A complex story of deviance. #MentalHealth

@profjanemills @khoare43 Brilliant! What an undervalued and underutilised group of professionals. WHY are they not more endorsed??
