@Sera188 pretty nerve wrecking. interesting to see if the American male voters’ male ego affects their vote or not. sure some guys still not ready for a female leader
Pediatrician here.
If a nice, older kid/teenager comes trick or treating at your place, give them a piece of candy WITHOUT giving them a hard time. In fact, give them 2.
They chose this over other risky activities. Validate that.

@sadielsnow there was the ones where someone pretend to be a teen that lost their phone…. the catch I dont have kids and they would have been disowned if they lost their phone lol
Will Ferrell says transphobia exists because “I think we fear what we don’t know.”
"I don’t know why trans people are meant to be threatening to me as a cis male. I don’t know why Harper is threatening to me...why would you care if somebody’s happy? Why is that threatening to you? If the trans community is a threat to you, I think it stems from not being confident or safe with yourself.”

How do I spot a dangerous but very normal looking narcissist/psychopath at first meet?
There are many red flags to be aware of that can save you a world of pain!
1. Narcissists/psychopaths do not experience emotions like the rest of us because of brain differences. As predators, they are always looking for our vulnerabilities, from the first second of meeting. To understand our areas of passion (our weakest points), they often watch our hands when we speak because they are not always able to read the emotional cues.
2. Narcissists/psychopaths often hold eye contact or stare at you as you walk, longer than is comfortable. They can do this because they don’t experience fear or embarrassment. They use this as a tactic to engage their victim. It can feel endearing but also strange because we are not used to it. This tactic can be exercised in work relationships and personal relationships.
3. Narcissists/psychopaths can close down a conversation or switch sentiments in the blink of an eye. An exceptionally swift change in topic, almost like your last comment never happened, is a red flag.
4. Narcissists/psychopaths have ‘shallow affect’. They have to act out emotions because they don’t feel them. Some do not bother acting them so they seem unexpressive, without ups and downs in speech patterns, have a flat way of talking.
5. An exceptionally rapid building of sense of closeness is a red flag. Narcissists/psychopaths engage quickly, make you feel like you are the most important person to them. In an intimate relationship, they will learn what makes you tick and present that back to you as something in themselves to make you think they are your soulmate.
An important point is that other people may sometimes exhibit one or two of these red flags. For example, autists may under-emote. It is necessary to see a number of red flags before they present a meaningful pattern.
Have I missed any?
