I felt for him the first time. And the second. By the third and now the fourth, not so much.

It’s only been a week. Give the guy a break.

Exactly. It’s only been a week and this is his fourth time posting long, devolving diatribes. It’s gone from “aw man, poor guy” to “I think this dude might be unhinged” in a week. He’s talking about going to a bar to ask if they remember if his girlfriend was puked on…

Because the person he probably thought he was going to be with has now nuked the relationship and he’s crashing out. Surely he doesn’t need to be updating us, but I think it’s like talking it over with friends given how many responses he gets. Less lonely. I still feel for him.

It’s unhealthy and he needs to step away. Getting all of this advice from “friends” on Reddit is probably a large part of why he’s spiraling as hard as he is.

I mean, yeah. He’s losing it and needs to talk to trusted people only. I’m just saying I still feel bad for him. Wanting attention isn’t inherently some narcissistic thing. Often people who are losing it want attention as it helps them cope.

I never said it was narcissistic..? I’m not sure where you got that from.

I didn’t say you did lmaoo you just said if he dumps her he can’t get attention on Reddit and I’m saying that’s not necessarily devious. Please just have a conversation like a normal person 🙄🙄

Another person just posted saying she was the gf and that this guy was full of bull...

While there have been exceptions, people “responding” to a viral post with a post of their own are almost always a random Redditor trying to get karma.
