Please describe your FB trolling technique. I am super-curious about what level of mischief you achieve.
I have some REALLY DUMB relatives who post stuff that makes me SMH so hard, I look like a bobblehead.
Well I know a lot of narcissists between my family and friends, who all insist on remaining in touch despite having nothing in common with us. Primarily so they can compare to try and feel better about themselves. The narcissistic friends have intermingled with my real friends, so there's no way to get away cleanly. And my mother-in-law is a master narcissist, who has convinced her stupid friends that we're horrible people who won't allow them to see their grandchild. If we delete them, it'll confirm my MIL's lies that I'm isolating the baby and my husband from his family. All of these people are FB friends, including my MIL. It's horrible.
So, anything that would annoy and undermine a narcissistic person's plight to be the best, most awesome person ever who is the center of the universe, I do that. It's pretty subtle because I actually do have an amazing husband and strong marriage, an amazing little girl, and a very close family and group of real friends. I have a job that I really love. We've had a hard road in a lot of ways, which has made us closer and more appreciative of everything we do have. We're really happy, and that pretty much infuriates these people. They pretend to have these awesome lives, but they forget that we actually know them and remember that their husband threatens to leave their crazy ass all the time, or they get into physical altercations with family, or they are such a bitch they can't even ask about or care about their own grandchild.
But for instance, I know my mom always shares pictures I post of the baby, so I just tag her in photos sometimes so that she doesn't have to. A lot of our friends with kids do the same all the time. BUT I know my MIL will be pissed when she sees it because she will roll out her Jump to Conclusions mat and assume we spent this whole fun weekend with my parents. Then when she brings it up, I know she's been FB stalking, or her friends were and they were gossiping. Turns out it also got some people on my side of the family, who are also Narcissistic Personality Disorder beyond definition. They were furious that I went to the park with my mom and had my parents over for all these fun times without inviting them. Oh boy, were they even more pissed when I nonchalantly asked them what on Earf they were talking about. Then I said something to the effect of "I shouldn't have to apologize to my own family for taking my child to the park on a Sat morning with my husband by ourselves." BUT YOUR MOM WAS THERE BECAUSE I SAW ON THE INTERNET!!!! No, bitch, and even if she was, who the fuck cares. Now you look really stupid because you threw a hissy fit over us taking a walk in a park an hour from your house.
It's dumb shit that would only infuriate someone who is looking to be pissed off and then make them look stupid, which is something I can always get behind. It doesn't actually accomplish anything, because even after a blow up, they keep me as a FB friend to keep tabs and continue being jealous over dumb shit, like we went to dinner with our best friend, who some self-absorbed FB "friend" dated and fucked over. How dare we spend time with people we like.
