Topic : 12/31 Faking It?

I had watched this show. This man is crazy he does owe that couple m,oney for thier wedding. They paid a lot for this wedding and he ruined it for the both of them it was like their wedding was a mockery! I would sue him i would not wait until his stupied fake book comes out. Even if it does come out like anyone is going to buy it, but he is a constent liar!!!  he could not even keep his stories straight!!

How do we recognize the remorseless? One of their chief characteristics is a kind of glow or charisma that makes sociopaths more charming or interesting than the other people around them.  They’re more spontaneous, more intense, more complex or even sexier than everyone else, making them tricky to identify and leaving us easily seduced.  Some of my favorite books that provide a great introduction and insight are: 

Why is it Always About You?:  The Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism by Sandy Hotchkiss AND Emotional Blackmail:  When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation and Guilt to Manipulate You by Susan Forward

Without Conscience:  The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us by Robert Hare OR Treating Personality Disorders in Children and Adolescents:  A Relational Approach by Efrain Bleiberg

Fundamentally, sociopaths are different because they cannot love. Sociopaths learn early on to show fake emotion, but underneath they are indifferent to others’ suffering.  They live to dominate and thrive for the thrill to win.  We all almost certainly know at least one or more sociopaths already.

Hope it helps!

your position, I think, that we shouldn't take our health for granted because illness can strike and devastate us at any time.  Life is meant for loving others.

I am sorry for what you and your husband have to go through.

What I think everyone is not getting about this woman faking kidney failure is that she IS sick.  I think she is seriously mentally ill and for what she has, there isn't much hope.

Please, when you thank God for your physical health, don't forget your mental health.  Having suffered with mental illness for more than half my life, I know what agony is.  i wouldn't wish it upon anyone.  As for physical illness, I haven't had much.  So I am grateful for that.

Anyone could have a nervous breakdown, bi-polar disorder, or a bout of severe depression; young women (and sometimes men) come down with anorexia nervosa; millions of women suffer with post partum depression of varying severity; most know a friend or family member tormented by schizophrenia.  The late Princess Diana had a personality disorder, bulimia and episodes of depression and self-harm.   I suspect the lady on the show has Munchausen's, which is very rare but has a poor recovery rate.  Many people can and do die as a result of their mental illnesses.

Please don't reserve sympathy just for the physically ill - the mentally ill suffer torment all day, every day, for years.  Please remember them in your prayers.

By some miracle I have reached some level of recovery.  Many of my friends haven't recovered; many have died, due to suicide or accidents., and most of them were in their 20's and 30's.   Just as no one is in control of their early childhood experiences of trauma, such as sexual abuse, so no one is in control of whether they become mentally ill.  To make matters worse, you have to cope with the social stigma of being mentally ill, and endure former close friends and family members alienating you because they just don't understand.

I hope this woman gets all the help she needs and that she can find some happiness.  I hope she reads this, and knows that some people do care, and some even understand.

There is 1 main point when it comes to the fate of ex-convicts in America. They are never an ex-convict. If they come out of jail or prison( and their is a difference in these 2 systems) if they are reformed they will get a job which is hard with a record, and become productive citizens.The main word is CON. Fred Brito is not the only man or woman that has lead this type of life, and the sad part is he actually believes that he is skilled in all the posistions he worked in.The sad part is that he will find another job and will CON others.Ex-convict does not exist. Very few people that knowlingly CON people are very good at what they do and they have no emotions or feel that what they are doing is wrong.

You know I took an income tax course ten years ago. We were asked to guess why many people who cheat on their taxes are caught. I said, er let me think, overstated expenses, understated income? NO. Double receipting? NO. Failure to return.? NO. The single reason they got and will continue to get caught is they just have to brag...brag about how much smarter they are than CAs, CMAs, auditors...brag about how much smarter they are than senior management...brag, brag, brag... Suddenly revenue services receives an anonymous tip;)

Now Fred, going on to his 48th second chance, may just be able to fool some unsuspecting little Board of Directors somewhere into hiring him again. Then, when they find out who he is because he won't be able to stop bragging, he will be fired and rightfully so, then he can fleece them for wrongful dismissal.  

I say roll out the baby grand and let's have Fred play us a concerto by JS Bach. Any maestro would be able to do that;)

Doctor Faking It Phil? Are you kidding me? I have never herd of a pastor faking it at all. See you on Monday

What is your point Pache?

Seems like a bit of rambling to me.

In these times, to trust other's on the web is ludicrious. Period.

The point of it all is, why do people have a need to con others as Fred has done over and over again.

Obviously he is a chronic liar who can't stop his shananigens and in the process has hurt many people in doing so. Who needs attention.

To hide our true selves from others so that we do not get hurt is one thing but being an imposter is another.

I'm not sure that Fred can change and I'm not even sure he wants to!

He has no remorse, no feelings of shame which can put him into the category of being a psychopath.

Dr. Phil has his hands full!
