I've had things happen which are like a cruel joke consistently
E.g.
-running 3000 miles away from a bad situation with a narcissist, then the next time I live in a house...its with a narcissist again.


-Being stuck in a foreign country as an illegal alien, someone offered me help and assured me it was easy, I then injured my legs so I couldn't walk to his house and lost contact with him

-being in love with someone.. being engaged to them... then after two weeks of being engaged they suddenly become indifferent and cold...then act interested.. then cold
This sends me into a depression which lasted longer than the whole relationship, so it would have been better if we had never met.

-getting the job of my dreams then losing it about three weeks later

-meeting an attractive woman ,she shows inordinate interest,she talks about marriage and kids on the first date, but the next day takes six hours to answer a text, and then just sends cold disinterested texts
(About ten similar incidents like this)

-a friend offered to train me for a career fixing electric scooters. I went into his repair shop for 40 hours a week for four weeks. He made excuses about not training me , it turns out he was just a narcissist trying to provoke me into getting angry at him , by wasting my time.


-having a prophet tell me that something really good is going to happen to me 'soon' but over a year later.... And it didn't happen



I'm just thinking 'what's next???' Now

Life *is* a cruel joke.
It is a "Suffering Farm".

I don't understand this need to reproduce.
Perhaps I am too objective. 8)

Predatory people actively seek out and are drawn to more vulnerable personalities. As people on the spectrum, we can be a magnet for such people. One of those love interests sounded like they were lovebombing you. Being so intense early on could be a red flag. Maybe it would help to read more about such personalities so you can spot the red flags? I'm sorry to hear what you have suffered.

Total agreement.
Psychopaths and narcissists seek out vulnerable people.
They enjoy the mindf**k.

Pretending to be who the other person wants, and convincing them they've finally found their soulmate, before revealing your true self. Disorienting them with pleasure, basically.

My luck probably isn't the best around, but then, if you come out the other end of things alive, endure things, maybe it could be good luck? I ponder this often. If I can still see and feel the good things when I've seen and felt so many bad things, then I guess I can consider myself a bit of both. Lucky and unlucky.

I will be suspicious of anyone I meet now. The other things that happened are like circumstances messing me up which is concerning.

and THAT is the worst thing that these people do to innocents, poisoning the pool for decent people who now are blocked from consideration as friends due to the mistrust caused by these bad actors.
