I’m seeing a lot of nastiness online from people who *believe * they are doing good.
I’m wondering whether they realise how they are coming across or maybe it’s more sinister than that?
Maybe they think that their *good deeds* have earned them the right to speak how they like?

And this question is important because many #bullies, #narcissists and abusers who rely on #coercivecontrol do what it takes to present an image of themselves that conceals their abusive tendencies.
It’s the classic but he’s such a nice guy’/ she does so much for charity trope

The purpose is to blind you to their real character with their *wonderful* outwardly shows of generosity/kindness/largesse/philanthropy etc so that either :
No-one could EVER believe that person was capable of an unacceptable/disagreeable act.
Or they are too deeply vested.

And so there is this uncomfortable cognitive dissonance between wanting to believe that someone isn’t what they either suspect or fear they may well be.
And this is how so many bullies, narcissists and abusers are able to continue with what they do.
