” An unreliable narrator is a character whose credibility is compromised, meaning they can’t be fully trusted to tell the story accurately because they may be deliberately misleading, mentally unstable, biased, or simply have a limited perspective. This literary technique forces readers to question the narrative and piece together the truth, often revealing the narrator’s own psychology or motivations. Unreliable narrators are a powerful tool for adding complexity, creating plot twists, and engaging the reader on a deeper level. What makes a narrator unreliable?Lying or deception: A narrator may intentionally mislead the reader to conceal the truth or advance their own agenda.Mental instability: A narrator’s mental state, such as delusion or mental illness, can warp their perception of events.Bias or prejudice: A narrator’s personal biases, beliefs, or worldview can skew their account of reality.Lack of knowledge or inexperience: A narrator may not have the full picture, or their naivety and inexperience can lead them to misinterpret what is happening.Self-deception: A narrator might be completely honest from their point of view, but their version of the story is still false because they are deceiving themselves. How does it affect the story?Challenges the reader: It forces the reader to become an active participant, looking for clues and inconsistencies to determine what is real.Adds depth and complexity: The narrative becomes not just about the plot, but also a psychological portrait of the narrator.Creates tension and suspense: The discrepancy between what is said and what is true builds intrigue and suspense.Leads to plot twists: A reveal of the narrator’s unreliability can be the basis for a significant plot twist, like in The Usual Suspects or American Psycho, notes this Reddit post. “

So why have I chosen to put it as my first post and which version am I?

Ha I’ve been to therapy enough to learn that multiple things can be true at the same time. My mind is more of a multiple choice setting. So anything I say can and will be held against me.

TITTIES!!!!!!!!

I like me some boobies, I tell you what…..

The fact of the matter is that humans have a memory bias. The trauma inflicted brain tends to extremes. Cluster B personality disorders can either compensate through Agreement or Absolute Rejection. Borderline Personality gives you a nice back and forth between I am Shit and I am the Shit.

Depression turns the mind into a punching bag and when you combine the two you get a I ain’t worth a shit unless someone else tells me I am mentality that will hold you back in life like any other deeply held belief without true evidence. Now this is all just clinical mumbo jumbo for ” That boy ain’t right the head now” Let’s combine that with a neurodivergent outlook that was never properly diagnosed but seems to be some combination of Autism and Internally Directed Hyper Activety.

“Because, Bcuz told me too”

I got a true-ish story in tales of passion you should read… So imagine being the odd kid out every where you go as a child. To poor to be one of the rich white boys, to smart to be one of the poor white boys. To white to understand your white. No real friends except for the invisible ghost that got named Bcuz, because you thought it was a funny linguistic joke even if you didn’t know the word linguistic. Now imagine you need to fit in with people and don’t know how but as you learn you still don’t know how Bcuz someone else stepped in to deal with people. Why be bothered by people when your own mind is so much more interesting than people? So now your memory has gaps but your a kid and how the hell would you know that? Academic praise is your only source of praise from adults because poor working parents have to work. Your sitter has been put into a role they are to young to be in and has some problems and issues of their own?

I’ll keep explaining what the hell is wrong at a later point. I got a psychiatrist appointment today and we just arrived.

Until next time
