Been reading these threads since the start, finally decided to contribute! I’ve spent so much time on these threads over Christmas that you all seem like extended family at this point
This guy has honestly always made me feel sick - but the way he has been controlling the narrative on his tiktok made me think I was the only one that felt this way! So glad I found tattle.
He is a classic narcissist- found a list of typical behaviours and he fits the bill for each one!
Grandiose sense of self importance:
every mention of people being obsessed with him, the fact he feels he needs mods that he then treats like his own personnel.
Lives in a fantasy world that supports their delusions of grandeur:
completely controls the narrative on his account by only allowing the bum licky comments to remain. also portrays a fantasy world of having the perfect relationship with Sophie and his son- only perfect in his head of course. “Anything that threatens to burst the fantasy bubble is met with extreme defensiveness and even rage” - extreme defensiveness would be an understatement for Paul. His sarcastic defence mechanism is unreal.
Needs constant praise and admiration:
this one is obvious- it’s the whole reason he can’t get off tiktok.
Sense of entitlement:
pretty sure this is where the issues with Sophie crept in over Christmas. She obviously didn’t want him to stay over which clearly outraged his sense of entitlement. So he went off in a strop and treated it like a betrayal.
Exploits others without guilt or shame:
clearly after reading comments from his ex mods he was exploiting them- no shame in asking them to lie and be his references for a new job too! And well- his exploitation of young women goes without saying.
Frequently demeans, intimidates, bullies, or belittles others:
this one is evident in his comments to others - his “comebacks” he can’t help but respond with nastiness and grasping at anything to belittle that person- resorting to insults like “sorry you’re lonely”.
He is textbook!!!
sorry for the long first post- it’s been brewing for a while
