The ABC’s of being a POS: Intro
(Edited 08/09/2024)

Life is full of a healthy balance of people that deserve hugs or suplexes.
Sometimes both.
There’s a long list of examples of these people in both the past and present, public or private figures, and all types of relationships.
No matter what, the world has its shares of people that deserve attention as much as the others need to be starved from it.
This is dedicated to the second half.
By now you’ve assumed that the POS in the title does NOT mean “point of sale.” It means the other thing.
The one that made you think of a person or people who could understand physical actions more than a sentence about their behavior.
And even though one word or phrase will sometimes be used for each letter, they are not limited to them.
Consider each one a gateway into others that, like the ones chosen here, are tied to each other, and will be mentioned and even repeated within most of them.
So, if you or someone you know is a POS, and you’re looking for how to increase your villain potential, you’ve come to the wrong place.
After all, what better way to talk about the tricks and tips in ways that match your actions towards your targets/marks?
No matter what, remember this quote as this journey begins:
“If it hurts you, it’s about you.”
-Kingston Priest
P.S. – It is understood that there are those with undiagnosed or misdiagnosed mental conditions which will have similar behaviors mentioned here. This is in no way meant to offend them, or their related parties. This project is dedicated to those who choose to behave certain ways that deserve to be spoken about.

End of Days: Election Thoughts
It has been quite a few months leading up to tomorrow.
Anything I say here won’t be enough to cover all of my feelings about.
It’s good, though.
Only because what I could say will only be aligned with what I’ve been writing about for years now. They would just have more focus on key negative traits aligned with tomorrow.
And given my track record on here, I feel more qualified to talk about the social threats and conflicts than the political ones.
Not saying that they aren’t two sides of the same coin, but there are others qualified to weave both together as well as I’ve come to doing for one side.
If anything can be taken from my page, choosing those that project maturity and accountability have been the most important thing for me. Not just in personal connections, but towards public figures.
No matter how tomorrow plays out, I won’t be the only one out here continuing to speak about what many deserve to hear, in spite of what others want us to stay quiet about.
Even with the reminder of that I should only worry about what I can control, I am bracing for impacts.
With all of this said, please be safe out there when voting tomorrow. If you already have, do what you need to do to decompress.
I casted mine two weekends ago, so I will be at work prepping for war while praying for peace. I’m wishing peace for many of us.

The ABCs of being a POS: Finale [Z]
Zero Regrets (Edited 02/23/2025)
Everything that you’ve learned in this list takes talent to weave into a ball that you and other like-minded people can use to hit others with at your leisure.
It’s a twisted, malicious game, that only some realize they are players in.
But like the focus needed to keep the ball in play, it also takes having no regrets on how it damages your targets.
Unlike most actual sports, though, targets can fight back.
And they will with the same number of regrets that you have about what you’ve done or doing to them.
You might even call them a POS because they’re fighting fire with fire. Or better yet, other elements to snuff the flame you placed in them.
It’s one thing to satisfy the monster in you. It’s another to face the one you made in someone else. A kind that would never do to others what has been done to them.
You, however, may be free game.
If you feel that you’re ready to face them in every way you can, then you’re on your way to being an inspiring POS for years to come.
If you wish to walk differently, go back to the beginning. Then read it as someone who knows what needs to change in yourself. Not to nurse your ego, fuel defensive fire, or hide your bad intentions.
Read it as someone who doesn’t want this to hurt you because it’s about you.
Thank you for your time.

Update: “The ABC’s…”
(Updated 11/19/2024)
First, thank you to the many that have read this series.
It took a lot to put it together in the short time I have, and I’m grateful for the attention it has received to this point.
As this update, all entries will have hyperlinks on the bottom tying one to the others.
This way you can go back and forwards with ease to each part, as I have written separate entries in-between them.
Other plans are ahead for this series, but that’s all I’ll say, for now.
Until the next entry, thank you again for reading. Write to you, soon.

Us Again: Taking Time to Love Yourself in a Relationship
It takes a lot to grow into a relationship which can last without the gradual or sudden lack of frequent communication.
No matter how physically close or distant the partners are, they can be tested through the act of breaks to learn how to be with themselves.
Either partner can begin to face emotions that require them to be with themselves long enough to make grand discoveries that would not have been possible with their partner actively present and/or available. Especially on the phone or texting.
Of course, insecurities and past traumas, combined with the wrong people in their ear(s), can convince them that the silence can be a sign of quietly quitting the connection, or even infidelity. Sometimes both.
But if your mutual love has stood one test after another related to moments like this, to the point where the only person they would leave their partner for is themselves, those fears are the last thing to entertain.
So, remain patient.
Give both you and your partner grace in this period of individual growth. You are both in your right to miss what you do together. If meant to be, those moments can return with a greater strength than either of you could have ever imagined.
There is no comfort in accelerating its ending just to fill temporary pleasures.
Your future together depends on that.

“The ABCs…”: Part 25 [Y]
“You Hungry?”
Nothing makes food taste better than offering it after you’ve run someone down spiritually and/or physically.
A form of, if not a spin-off to love bombing, it’s the perfect way to mask your inability to apologize for breaking someone’s trust in you.
Don’t be surprised if they refuse to eat with you in later years, if ever again. Their taste buds are one of the few things you haven’t bruised.

“The ABCs…”: Part 24 [X]
“X”
This will be dedicated to “x” being defined as “unknown.”
Because the best thing about being a POS is making sure your marks never know what version of you to expect.
You can be quiet, fun, directive, trustworthy and more with the motive of control at your side.
Many, if not all of what’s mentioned before this point can help keep the mystery alive, while slowly leaking your internal misery.

“The ABCs…”: Part 23 [W]
“What If I Die?”
Guilt trips come in all shapes and sizes, but if they ever had a leader in usage and effectiveness, it would be this one!
Like the “Love You” technique, any version of the phrase can be useful if your mortality is hung over their head.
It will play into their natural sympathies, but only if they do not see it coming.
If they do, refer to Manipulation and Ultimatum for reminders on how to reclaim your poorly made crown of superiority.

Past Master: Overcoming the Forgotten Mistakes
What the healing journey involves recognizing periods where are you were not a great person, the constant statements that healing is nonlinear holds true.
Last nigh, I was reminded of a point well over 10 years ago. I volunteered for a company which wanted to make an appearance at an indoor amusement park. I declined, but the day of the event where others went instead, I still made my way up there to say hi to those in my place.
I remembered their faces when they saw me. They likely we’re not pleased, but nothing verbal was said about it. But this was at a point where I only thought more about myself and only in later years that I mildly reflect on how that may have looked to them.
So yes, it was so long ago that the people involved may not even remember. Honestly, I only remember the name of one of the people there.
Perhaps the reason I do recall is to let it be part of the lessons I had to teach myself again, both later in life and leading up to now.
I can also consider it showing up at the right time where I can speak on this so openly in the way that is aligned with what I’ve begun to speak on for years now.
I also believe it’s also tied to how much I do not want people to feel any way that I could have imagined them feeling in a selfish act, or what they told me how and why I hurt them, only to be indifferent or reject their claim. Only to remember the countless times that has happened towards me, pointing out or venting frustrations with unapologetic people, hoping they would hear me out for once.
Crossing my fingers that they would change stunted the chance for me to sit with everything long enough to be better than all sides of those memories. But I needed changing myself. Not just in words, but in actions.
I have repeated many times before how past mistakes should be lessons and not anchors. While that is still true, something else recently inspired a remix to that.
Do not treat your past mistakes as anchors. Instead, let them be propellers towards a better direction. One that your future self is cheering you on loud enough that you can continue to follow their voice.
Surely there will be many other memories to feel that way towards. I will continue to do my best to follow that voice, as I have years ago to make sharing this and much more possible.

“The ABCs…”: Part 22 [V]
Victimhood
Anything that can be associated under the manipulation topic can relate to victimhood; the act of believing that the wrongs done to you justify how you treat others.
Processing your past and present hurts like this can turn into a routine.
One where you refuse to see things any other way. That other’s suffering is nothing compared to yours.
You might even think that they deserve to feel pain because you did and you “came out just fine!”
Did you? Of course you did! Ask the people around you and don’t be surprised if things get emotional.

“The ABCs…”: Part 21 [U]
Ultimatum
Sometimes your mark is firm in their ‘no” towards you.
Even guilt tripping, gaslighting, and other previous tools aren’t enough to wear them down.
No matter how long ago they gave it to you, you’ll find a way to get revenge by giving them an ultimatum.
Once you have it, seal it with a good old patronizing “I love you.”
Doesn’t matter if they forced themselves to say it back to keep the peace. Your POS status is guaranteed!
BONUS: Ulterior Motive
Never engage your marks without having a hidden agenda that feeds your selfishness.
Asking the right questions that lead to what you desire makes you like a cop interrogating a suspect.
One that will always be seen as guilty, when it’s too often the other way around.
But they can never know that.
Even if they do, it’s your duty to probe them with the things you refuse to control about yourself.
