Even in settings where it was culturally inappropriate, she frequently made sexual innuendos in public, seemingly to reinforce the image of herself as heterosexual.
The shame is doubled in this case: concealing both narcissistic shame and same-sex attraction. (2)
Case Vignette: Female Covert NPD + Closeted Lesbian.
Subject X concealed her same-sex attraction for most of her life, largely because she perceived it as socially unacceptable. As a result, she appeared to overcompensate by constructing an exaggerated heterosexual persona.(1)

This shows how profoundly the chemistry of our bodies can affect our behavior.
The next question is philosophical: What constitutes the "self" as a conscious being? Which parts truly belong to us, and which are simply functions of the biological machine we inhabit?
A case reported in BMJ Case Reports describes a 61-year-old woman who was initially believed to have dementia after a five-year decline in her mental health and behaviour.
She developed severe confusion, hallucinations, seizures, and marked personality changes, which included distressing behaviour such as speaking to unseen figures and acting inappropriately in public. Early brain scans and neurological tests did not show the usual signs of degenerative dementia, so she was treated symptomatically, but her condition continued to worsen.
When she was later assessed by psychiatry specialists in Lisbon, blood tests revealed a severe vitamin B12 deficiency. This had led to pernicious anaemia, a condition where the body cannot absorb enough B12. Vitamin B12 is essential for healthy nerve function and the maintenance of the myelin sheath, the protective coating around nerves.
Because of this deficiency, her nervous system had been significantly affected, producing symptoms that closely mimicked dementia and epilepsy. Once she began B12 injections and appropriate medical treatment, her condition improved dramatically. Over time, her hallucinations resolved, her thinking cleared, and she regained independence in daily life.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is known to cause neurological and psychiatric symptoms in some cases, and while severe presentations like this are uncommon, doctors stress the importance of checking for reversible causes when patients show signs of cognitive decline because, in some situations, treatment can lead to major or even full recovery.
Researchers analyzed 14 million academic papers published between 2010 and 2024. They tracked every word. They found that ChatGPT is rewriting the English language.
Not metaphorically. Literally.
After ChatGPT launched in November 2022, certain words that had been stable in academic writing for over a decade suddenly exploded in frequency. The researchers at the University of Tübingen and Northwestern University mapped every excess word and categorized them.
The words are ones you already recognize.
"Delve." "Intricate." "Meticulous." "Commendable." "Underscore." "Pivotal." "Nuanced." "Landscape." "Comprehensive." "Multifaceted." "Showcasing." "Groundbreaking." "Innovative." "Invaluable."
329 excess style words appeared in early 2024 that were not there before. The spike is unprecedented in the history of the dataset.
Here is what makes this different from every other vocabulary shift ever recorded. During COVID, excess words also appeared. Up to 188 of them in 2021. But those were content words. "Respiratory." "Remdesivir." "Ventilator." Words that described a new reality.
After ChatGPT, the excess words are not content words. They are style words. Not what people write about. How people write. The subject matter did not change. The voice did.
The researchers estimate that at least 10% of all academic papers published in 2024 were processed with ChatGPT. Not written entirely by AI. Processed. Edited. Polished. Run through the model and published with its fingerprints still on the page.
You have seen these words everywhere. In emails. In LinkedIn posts. In articles. In cover letters. In reports your colleagues sent you. You could not explain why everything started sounding the same. Now you can. The entire internet passed through the same model. And the model left the same fingerprints on everything it touched.
The researchers proved something else. The contamination is not slowing down. The number of excess words grew from 188 during COVID to 329 after ChatGPT. The curve is still climbing.
ChatGPT did not just change what we can do with language. It changed the language itself. One model. One voice. Fourteen million papers. And a vocabulary shift larger than a global pandemic.
So, menjwb miskonsepsi fans yg mengira 2 artisnya adlh pemilik bisnis, sy bisa pastikan itu tidak benar. None dari mereka berdua punya saham di nama bisnis yg mencatut nama mereka.
Sbg seleb, mrk pd prinsipnya hanya BA (brand ambassador) dengan bahasa marketing yg lbh 'menjual'
Di artikel yg sy share di bwh, menjelaskan apa yg sy maksud, dan sdh biasa dilakukan jg oleh artis2 hollywood.
Sifat kontraknya bs beragam. Tp pada prinsipnya, bagi Brand, lbh terasa kuat kalo 'iklannya': "Ini brand milik X" ketimbang kalo blg "Brand ini diendorse si X"

Saya ingin menjelaskan di sini biar fans gak terlalu silau ama klaim kekayaan seleb.
Sy ambil contoh seleb A. Sjk dulu ada klaim sbg CEO, pdhal bkn. Dlm dunia seleb, hal yg biasa ketika BRAND melakukan PRODUCT COLLABORATION dg bahasa marketing CO-OWNER

She quickly grows bored with one shenanigan and must create another to maintain the same level of attention and stimulation.
A female covert narcissist is the epitome of a DRAMA QUEEN.
(Part 5 - fin)
However, despite all the fabricated stories and attention-seeking behavior, it never fully satisfies her hunger for validation. The emptiness remains, and the feelings of inadequacy persist.
(Part 4)
2. As a way to keep people's attention.
As a narcissist, she needs constant validation. To her, creating shenanigans generates curiosity and engagement. People want to know about her life and activities, which gives her a temporary sense of worth and significance.
(Part 3)
1. As a form of control.
Especially in situations that feel beyond her control, she quickly deploys a pivot strategy by creating chaos and mystery. This allows her to feel in control and, in turn, exert control over others.
(Part 2)
CASE VIGNETTE - FEMALE COVERT NARCISSIST
Person A has constructed her entire life around a false persona. She loves creating shenanigans for attention because they serve several purposes:

menyamarkan hari due date. Overall case closed. Yg nebak gemini, spt pernah sy tweet dulu, jd pemenang sayembara ini.
Brp byk "kelebihannya"? Skitar 6-7 minggu. Itu adalah usia gestational saat merit dihitung dari HPHT.
😁 Due date in Late May or early June - sami mawon.
atau dihitung hari merit 10 Okt adlh waktu konsepsi, dihitung dg HPHT tetap due datenya jatuh pd bulan Juli
Sbnrnya, semua jg dah tau sjk awal dg merit dadakan, kalo emang sdh "isi". Tp, skenario drama yg dibuat as a decoy strategy emang luar biasa. Tmsk, di ujung menyamarkan

Setiap kehamilan itu bs dihitung krn dasarnya emang scr statistik akan sama. Yg bikin "beda", krn org ngitung HPHT gak tepat, atau karena kondisi kesehatan.
So, kasus si artis sederhana. Mengikuti segala skenario "normal" mau itu hamil 5 minggu saat posting foto USG tgl 25 Nov;

Polemik HPHT 😅, begitu lah kalo jenis borderline (wait for my academic paper for it), jadinya sgala pembenaran dilakuin. Cos image idol = image diri sendiri.
Make narasi yg diciptakan si idol, justru perhitungan HPHT yg benar, secepat2nya persalinan itu tjd di bulan Juli.

Reminder.
Walau kubu cognitive dissonance menjadi flying monkeys, pada akhirnya mrk yg sane bs at least bertanya:
- why can someone lie so convincingly while also gaslighting ppl who confront her.
😁
the polymath is not a person who collects hobbies.
it is a person who refuses artificial borders.
• art and science
• engineering and philosophy
• history and design
for most of history, these were not separate worlds.
the polymath by peter burke shows that broad thinkers shaped culture by moving between domains.
they borrowed methods
translated ideas
connected distant fields
specialists optimize inside systems.
polymaths redesign the map itself.
in an age of narrow expertise, synthesis becomes rare leverage.
Different opinion for AI usage, here.
