The spath I know is not on fb at least I can’t find her although she does use aliases. She does not want to be found. She has screwed over lots of people

It so sad to see what ‘we’ women will do…….
I NEVER want to be that person again.
There was a day when I bought into it…..or maybe ‘day’ isn’t the right word……to describe 28 years! 🙂
But I was ‘that’ girl once……I am proud to say…..no longer!
I will no longer hang on the moon of a fairy tale……..
Sad to think she’s so in bliss, caught up in his crap of i’ve changed…….and there are others out here that KNOW the ugly journey she’s in for.
Nothing is as it seems.

The business spath…..he’s on FB too.
He announces ALL of his next moves on FB along with ALL over the internet. I get almost daily alerts of what he’s up to via google alert.
I alert the authorities and he’s shut down immediatly.
His new scam was shut down 5 times in the first month of operation.
It’s a front for selling Meth.
They are investigating him in conjunction with a large gang.
the gloriious thing about that is…..he has NO IDEA I am involved in narking him off!

I WISH my exspath would use face book.
He lives completely under the radar. He barely lets people take his picture. The last one I have, he’s pulling his hat down over this face.
I think his only internet access he uses is email and (I’m sure) porn. sicko.

The social internet media at least have helped youngsters be more narcistic: pics, daily updates about nothing really, number of friends…
On the other hand, I have 366 fb friends: daily friends, acquaintances, some (ex) colleagues, tourists I befriended, fellow tourleaders, friends I made during my travels, old schoolmates, graduated pupils, and the remainder of people I befriended over internet games.
Many of those games require you to befriend lots of people in order to exchange gifs and such to get ahead of the games. Always found it a bit of a nuisance, but anyhow, I deleted lots of them after I quit those games for good, and only kept the people I built some type of bond with. But it’s one of the reasons I know that ‘many friends’ is not necessarily a sign of narcissism.
I also tag pics, since so many are from an event shared with friends or travels: a total of almost 700 (including pics of lanscapes, animals, friends, …)
What I think is the biggest indicator is the updates and comments on pics: frequency and content… the type of games played (there used to be a hype of games of ‘selling and buying’ yourself… couldn’t be more narcistic)… the type of pics (posed).
As for employers: make the profile private (only friends at the most), be careful about the pics used for profile, check what can be viewed by a non-friend, and don’t post a thing that’s private and you don’t want an employer or others to know about.
