I have recently read about this thing, just thought I'd share
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpman_drama_triangle

The problem is I seem to attract people online who go out of their way to convince me of something and it gets pretty mental, then I came across this triangle thing and thought maybe it could help someone else who has been harassed by people over the internet for no visible reason. IT'S NOT YOU IT'S THEM LOL

For me the scheme has been the same every time. I expressed some opinion or other, then someone would come to "help" and dissuade me without knowing me or having a reason to care what I think, when I kind of shrugged and said whatever, it got weirder. They'd find my threads and try to mock and insult me because I happened to disagree with their enlightening crap. There's only one way out of this, to ignore. Just wanted to tip my hat off to Karpman and maybe share it with people who have experienced what I have

If this is the wrong board, feel free to move

Yes: sometimes it takes a while to realize that it is the other person, and their issues, not you. It's a relief to be able to say, "Sorry, that's yours to carry. Not mine."
