My mom needs the Lexicon of Constrained Characters. She keeps putting periods at the ends of her tweets. I cannot stand her shouting!

Figuring out the fact that the character limit is extremely long on Urban Dictionary so you use whatever you can to the point where it gets hard to read or maybe even off screen

That.

Comfort Character

A character, either from a movie, TV show, or video game, who can make you feel safe and happy during times of stress or despair

My three comfort characters are, in no particular order, Nick Wilde from Zootopia, Lucario from the Pokémon series, and Roxanne Wolf from Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach.

character trait acquisition

A term invented by HG Tudor, famous NPD author, proving that imitation is NOT, in fact, the sincerest form of flattery. Instead it's the preferred method of destruction for a narcissist to try and steal everything good about you like the mythological Ape of Thoth. They are trying to steal your place at the table in life, your professional/private destiny and social karma. It is a theft of your erotic capital, unique personal style, idiolect or manner of speech, intellectual capital, social capital including hobbies etc. It's giving Single White Female but this can happen to anybody, from anyone else, including cultural appropriation from any outgroup racially, sexually or generic outsider in class. It continues until they steal the target's life including spouse and friends or they are exposed for being too blatant or possibly, rarely, find another juicier target or can no longer access the original target, like being blocked. Paper trails are useful with these types of people because they will project whatever they are doing onto you, always be the first to publish something of yours, never let them see or edit anything. Never tell them your plans, even something frivolous and simple like your intended outfits and favourite restaurants. Stay vague and go Grey Rock to survive. Do not let them interrogate you on your life, beliefs, plans, dreams, crushes etc.

e.g. "Meghan was dressing like Diana again."
"She really thinks we won't notice? Creepy."
"Classic character trait acquisition."
"Why is HG always right?"
"Eton, I guess."
