She's hotel royalty. He's banking aristocracy. Together, Nikki Hilton and James Rothschild are the ultimate power pair.  Along the way, we'll look back on Nikki and James' romantic love story as well as their grand wedding. First stop on this glitzy house tour is Nikki and James' incredible New York City penthouse. Tucked away in Manhattan's trendy Noho neighborhood, this posh pad spending over 5,000 square feet provides the perfect east coast home base for the family. Hotel heiress Nikki lent her feminine flair to the design, but husband James took the lead transforming this lavish apartment into a masterpiece. He incorporated ornate antique furnishings like an heirloom marble mantle and custom hand-painted wallpaper inherited from his aristocratic English ancestors. The result here is a vibe blends old world charm and modern glamour. According to Nikki, James did the vast majority but I added my little feminine touches, my little accessories. At the heart of this abode is the open concept living and dining space where the family spends quality time together. The sprawling eating kitchen overlooking the living room provides the ultimate hangout. As Nikki says, my favorite room is the kitchen and it's where the whole family hangs out. While as posh penthouse is full of precious antiques, Nikki prioritized comfort over stuffy formality. She explained, I grew up in a house where certain rooms were off limits. I wanted a home where no room is off limits. Well, Nikki took charge designing one special space herself, the nursery for their daughters Lily Grace and Teddy Marilyn. She transformed this room into a princess paradise with a custom ballerina mural floral fabrics and a pink color scheme. Nikki said, I had so much fun doing this room. You just get to relive your childhood again from lavish yet livable spaces to playful pops of color. This New York penthouse perfectly blends Nikki and James styles into a family friendly dream home. When it's time to escape the big city, this power pair heads to their stunning Hamptons house. Purchased in 2018 for $2.75 million, this charming six bedroom Brookhaven Cottage provides the ultimate weekend retreat. Set on four acres of lush land, the 1920s brick manor house features a sprawling backyard with in-ground pool hidden from prying eyes. Inside, many rooms flaunt Nikki's preferred floral fabrics by British brand, Benison, along with custom upholstery. A bright and airy bedroom reveals that the couple was still settling into this exact Hamptons haven, captured unpacking and making themselves at home. This countryside cottage emanates cozy and casual vibes, perfect for relaxing away from the hustle of the big city. From their posh New York penthouse to this peaceful Hamptons hideaway, Nikki Hilton and James Rothschild transition seamlessly from city living to coastal cool. Now that we've toured some of this power pair's most prized properties, let's take a look back at Nikki and James' romantic love story. It all began back in 2011 when the two first crossed paths at a lavish Italian wedding. They immediately felt a spark, but they maintained a long distance relationship with Nikki in LA and James in London. Nikki recalls once we decided we really wanted to make this work, we both moved to New York. In 2014, James got down on one knee and proposed during a romantic boat ride on Italy's picturesque Lake Como. Soon, this couple was jet-setting back to Europe for the ultimate fairy tale wedding. On July 10, 2015, Nikki Hilton and James Rothschild exchanged vows in the beautiful Kensington Palace in London, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reside. Nikki glowed in a $77,000 Valentino gown fit for a princess. Their intimate pair for 300 guests was held in the palace's idyllic oratory. Nikki says that their regal venue was perfection. I've always wanted a destination wedding and I love London. Ever since their storybook nuptials, Nikki and James have been living their happily ever after, while expanding both their family and their real estate portfolio at the same time. From lavish weddings to stunning stateside homes, Nikki Hilton and James Rothschild continue to live life to the fullest together. While their regal residences might seem over the top at the core, these two are focused on family. Their priority will always be raising their daughters in comfortable yet glamorous homes. As Nikki says, while I love visiting LA, New York has my heart. I think it's the most electric, fun, and exciting city in the world. The couple found their perfect match to each other and the ideal home in their palatial New York penthouse. While that wraps up today's house tour, thanks for joining me on this grand look at the properties owned by one of the world's most influential power pairs. And before we go, answer this question for me. Given the option, would you prefer to spend more time in the heart of Manhattan or retreating away in the stunning Hamptons?

Follow me on Instagram to chat and if you'd like to take a look at more stunning celebrity homes, then stay tuned for this look into the houses of Nikki's sister, the one and only, Paris Hilton. Bye! Paris Hilton and her husband, Carter Reim, started the year 2023 in the right way, and as a surprise to all. The heiress and woman of many hats is now also a mom for the first time, announcing that she and Carter welcomed a newborn son via Instagram. Paris likely already set up a dreamy nursery at her Los Angeles mansion for her baby boy and it's definitely going to be impressive to match the rest of the place. She purchased her longtime mansion in the guard-gated Mulholland Estates area back in 2007. And in recent years, Paris has given the property a full facelift, showing off the renovations on YouTube. We've also seen her multi-million dollar crib on her reality show Paris in Love, which offers 7,000 square feet of space and amazing highlights like a dream dressing room and even a doggie mansion. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Paris Hilton maintains her longtime mansion located in Beverly Hills. Back in 2007, she purchased this stunning mansion in the celeb-favored guard-gated community of Mulholland Estates for 5.9 million dollars. We've gotten plenty of glimpses of the estate not only on Paris' Instagram and YouTube, but also on her reality series Paris in Love. The Mediterranean-style mansion was built back in 1991 and spans about 7,000 square feet of space with five beds and 5.5 baths. Meanwhile, the grounds surrounding the home span about an acre. There is a gorgeous two-story entryway with a winding staircase where Paris often poses for photos. Other features of her mansion include living rooms, a large family room with wet bar, office, gourmet kitchen and breakfast room, butler's pantry, wine closet and more. It also came complete with a full gym, but word was that Paris transformed that into a shoe closet instead. Now, with baby number one's arrival, I'm sure that Paris and Carter have set up a stunning nursery for their son. They just haven't shown it off yet. Considering how luxurious Paris' many adorable dogs are living like, we can only imagine how stylish the new baby's room is gonna be. Paris also has a custom screening room, which she claimed is one of her favorite spots in the house. Another cool bonus lies in this room of the home, which she explains, I built one of those hidden escape doors that looks like a bookshelf. It leads to a huge showroom for all my product. It's kind of like a secret office. Oh my god, there's the coolest door right here.  Well, this room is decorated in a French Victorian vibe like much of the rest of the home was, and there's a 120-inch screen, photo booth, pink pool table and more. Meanwhile, up a small flight of stairs in here, there's also Club Paris. Her very own nightclub upstairs with everything from smoke machines to a dancing pole to a DJ booth, because Paris is also a DJ, as you probably know. In 2020, Paris revealed her major home renovation that was going on and we could see that she stripped all of the interiors down to make way for a brand new look. She guided the whole mansion and she decided to switch things up completely. Paris even has a glam room where she can easily get ready for events or a night out with Carter. Elsewhere in the mansion, Paris' master suite has a glamorous bath attached, as well as a private balcony with city views and the star modifying the home to fit two decked out closets the size of an apartment or bigger, not to mention a dressing room attached to the master bath as well. Moving to the grounds of Paris' main residence, there's a sparkling pool and spa with an attached grotto along with her famed doggy mansion. This is a feature I actually need in my life, but I don't have as many dogs as her. I need it for my two dogs. In 2009, Paris purchased this doggy mansion and paid $325,000 for it, but we all know that she loves dogs just like me and always has a handful of pets living with her. The upscale dog house for her Hilton pet boasts 300 square feet of living space with built-in air conditioning controlled from the outside to protect the dogs from the LA heat. There's also heating, of course, for when it cools down. Her dog's mansion is Spanish colonial style with two levels and the second floor has a balcony where the pups can catch a beautiful view.  Day beds, bean bags, and dog beds are all around the house for the pups to relax on. Outside there's a cute fenced-in turf lawn while the large front door welcomes the pups with a golden fire hydrant. That isn't the only house Paris owns though. In August 2021, it was reported that everyone's favorite hotel heiress turned a girl turned businesswoman snagged a beachfront home for $8.4 million dollars, which is perfect for when she, Carter, and now their new baby want to escape Beverly Hills for a more laid-back vibe. Located on Lacoste Beach, Paris' new getaway in Malibu is a prime spot and right on the water. Records show the Malibu House was built back in 1955, but it seems to have underwent a huge renovation sometime in the 90s. While it's contemporary in style, the interiors also kind of have a vintage feel with salmon-colored tiles and rounded granite counters in the kitchen, just to name a few details. Paris' Malibu Loveness spans 2,968 square feet of space with three beds and three baths throughout. In fact, Ms. Hilton already teased a promo video for her series Cooking with Paris in this very kitchen. And I mean, if she doesn't feel like cooking, she's only a short five-minute drive from the longtime trendy restaurant Nobu Malibu. While Paris and Carter's crib is right on top of the Pacific Coast Highway, the modern home is nicely hidden behind a dark blue wall along with cameras and a security system. Before walking in, there's also a simply landscape courtyard, and the exterior is a solid white color while inside, tile floors grace the open concept living area and dining room. As you may expect from a beachfront home, there are full walls of glass everywhere. Take in the stunning ocean views. Aside from the walls of windows, the open living room boasts a fireplace to warm things up when it gets chilly, and there's also a flat screen TV as well as a bar to one side. On the opposite wall, you'll find the dining area. The main living space also has a spacious, concrete deck outside with room for an outdoor eating area or just to relax. Paris is probably already cooking up a storm in this slightly vintage 90s meets early 2000s aesthetic kitchen. Here, there are rounded granite countertops with a ton of meal prep space as well as top of the line stainless steel appliances. This staircase is built with salmon colored tiles, which I think matches the vintage beach house vibe perfectly, and upstairs is where you'll find the home's three bedrooms. Paris and Carter's Ocean View Master Retreat offers hardwood flooring, its own private balcony, as well as a cozy fireplace and mounted TV above. The luxury attached bath might be slightly dated, but it's surely still stylish. There's some retro colored marble, a built-in soaking tub, glass shower, as well as double vanities. Outside the home stairs from the patio lead to Lacoste Beach, and on Paris' property, some other add-ons include an outdoor shower, jacuzzi, and a two car garage. Now that we've checked out Paris Hilton's homes in Beverly Hills and Malibu, I think we'll bring today's house tour to a close. But before you go, answer me that if money and resources weren't an issue, would you prefer to go the surrogate route like Paris when having a baby, and like so many other celebrities do?

Hello, my name is Carol Evans and I work in the Library of the Society of Antiquaries, and what I'd like to find in my Christmas stocking is the Lindsay Salter. Now this is a prayer book and it's from the 13th century and it really transports me back to that time when I look at it and hold it. It is an object that speaks to me through my senses really, I find it a very sensual object.  And as I open it up and turn the pages, the pages are vellum and they do make a kind of rustling noise, which is almost like leaves of a tree, but it is really the sight, the eyes that are knocked out by what I see in this, the most beautiful illuminated text and the drawings, I hope you can see those, and the vibrant colors and the intricacy of the lettering and it's really the craftsmanship of someone who did this work 800 years ago and really who would want to have a Kindle in their Christmas stocking when they could have the Lindsay Salter.

But the biggest thing for the society is that the people of that area come from far, far away. And everyone in the future lives in the hope of staying here for the night. And the people who live here know that whether there is a place or not, we cannot deny it. Now, it is very difficult for the people outside to experience this problem. The society knows how difficult it is to live here. And that is why we have tried to live here from the beginning. The second experience is that there are some very old traditions. And every day we have to do some repairs while living here. And because of that, the people who live here also experience this problem. Even if the situation gets better, the people who live here also experience this problem. In the coming days, if there is work for the people, if the government works in its own way, then the people outside are blessed. If the house works so well, then I would like to congratulate all the people who have done this work. Usually, government work means being late from time to time. People always ask us how late it is. How long will it take? They say yes, but how much time will it take? This was completed before the time. The government work says that the budget will increase. The budget has been reduced from time to time. And no compromise has been made in the quality. So, in terms of time, money, and the facilities, 17% has increased. So, in this way, the people who have contributed to the development of this house have done the work that the government has done. All of them are the officials of Abhinandan. This time, we have seen that the parliament has performed very well. And for that, all the political parties are credited, all the institutions are credited. And the people sitting on the chair are also credited. But while leaving, a voice came from both the cities. Speaker Mahodejani said that. And Mr. Uprashapati also said in the city. That when 2022 is the 75th anniversary of Ajahadi, then our parliament should also change some conditions. This is true. I have been listening to this matter since the last five years. My friends from the media also keep saying that it has become very old. Please change something. Please change it from ordinary conditions. And when the government has asked for it from the government, how can we change the conditions of the parliament in this way? Or if we have to make it even more, then the officials of the parliament are getting angry. And I have asked them to do it as soon as possible, that if we can do this work along with the 75th anniversary of Ajahadi, then we should do it. By the way, there is very little time left. But we should still try. But once again, all the people of this community are getting involved in these new conditions. I congratulate all of them. I congratulate them. All the people sitting on the chair, some of them are doing well. I also thank them very much. Thank you. I request all of you to take this necessary action and give a speech to the Prime Minister. I have been given a speech since the last year. I have been given a speech since the last year. This is the house of the Prime Minister. This is the house of my President. This is the house for the Prime Minister.


The study identified a gene called COG1 that confers chilling tolerance in japonica rice. This gene was found to be derived from a wild species of rice or as a rufipagon, and has been fixed in japonica rice since its domestication. COG1 is located on chromosome QCS11, JAP, which contains a QTL for chilling tolerance. It is composed of two parts, a membrane-localized lusine-rich repeat protein, LRLP, and a kinase called OSSEIL2. When exposed to cold temperatures, COG1 triggers a signalling cascade that leads to activation of OSMAPK3 in the cytoplasm. This signalling pathway ultimately results in increased expression of genes involved in chilling tolerance. This article was authored by Chanxianxia, Guohuo Liang, Kang Chong, and others.


I can't breathe! I can't breathe! I can't breathe! I can't breathe! I can't breathe! I can't breathe! Like, what else does everybody say? Everybody knows what's going on. It needs to be stopped. People are dying.  Everybody is dying, fam. For nine minutes. I know it's been raining out here, but we're already wet. We're standing for something, right? Yes. We're standing for together and we're going to do this all together. We're here tonight. That was a brilliant idea, so we will do this for nine minutes. Way down. I have a lot of family that's after this. Every time you see something on the news, you just kind of put yourself in that place. That could be me. That could be my family. That could be my brother. There's something like this. It's really powerful. When you're out here with your people, the emotion is a real problem. There's millions of instances that happen. You know, across the country. There's social injustice, racial abuse, you know, and whatever we can do to kind of bring that to light. We have to take our part. I don't feel like that was the right thing to do.  Try to do it a better way than what they did last night. I mean, I feel the issue. I mean, it's real life to me.  That's why I had to come out here. I needed to support the silence, and I was here last night protesting with everybody.  You've got to take action. There's no future without action. You sit behind the phone all day, it's not going to make a difference. You've got to come out here and let your voice be heard because that's the only thing that matters right now. Oh! At the end of the day, it's all love all around, whether you're Asian, black, brown, white, purple, it'll matter. It's all love. We're all human. He loves all of us. I'm a father. I have a nine-year-old little boy, right? It is my responsibility as a father to set an example. I wouldn't tell him if I could tell him what to do, but he's going to do as I do, not as I say. So, I'm out here speaking for the people that have dealt with oppression in their entire lives. I'm from Laredo, Texas. I experienced racism here in high school. I went to high school to learn about sex and experience racism. I've been oppressed slightly. I don't know what it's like to be African-American, but I can be here to speak because I have a voice and a right to speak. I'm going to scream George Floyd and my responsibility is information and the age of information. Ignorance is a choice. I will not be ignorant. We have to educate ourselves. We have to get involved in our community. We have to be close to our police officers because our police officers, they care about us. They want to take care of the community. They're going to protect us. We work side by side with them tonight. We saw that they were guiding us down a street on their bicycles, but I was showing love. We're here to show love.


Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to welcome you all to this conference to mark the 14th anniversary of the International Livestock Research Institute early, and its two predecessors, the International Livestock Center for Africa and the International Laboratory for Research on behalf of the Government of Ethiopia and my own, I take this opportunity to warmly congratulate early sport management staff and the livestock community in general to welcome you all to this important event. Ladies and gentlemen, as the world enters the era of the post-millennium development course, the challenge of feeding a growing population remains. With a global population expected to reach 9 to 10 billion by 2050, it is estimated that full production will need to increase by as much as 70%. Africa with yet abundant agricultural potential is believed to contribute to filling this gap. Across much of Ethiopia, the continent of Africa and other parts of the world, agriculture, not least livestock production has significant direct and considerable indirect impact on the fight against hunger and poverty. Livestock is increasingly recognized to have a significant potential to contribute to overall economic growth, poverty reduction, and food and nutritional security. It plays multiple roles in the livelihood of the people, impacting in many ways on food and nutrition security, economic well-being, social status, environmental sustainability and people's health. In the context of this conference, I will highlight the key issues concerning food and nutritional security, economic development and poverty reduction and climate change, which are particularly significant. Regarding food and nutrition security, livestock makes a significant contribution to food security. Animal products can contribute high-quality protein and calories at affordable prices to both rural farm families and urban consumers. Globally, it contributes about 26% of the protein and 13% of the total calories. Furthermore, growth in demand for animal products is projected to increase significantly over the next five years, particularly in countries that are currently classified as low-income or emerging middle-income countries. For instance, milk consumption in sub-Sahara Africa is predicted to triple in the next few decades. Alongside rising demand issues such as food safety and zoonotic disease requires a new approach to mitigate human health risks. While for many developing countries of Africa and Asia, the focus would be toward this increase of productivity of both food crops and livestock. Ladies and gentlemen, the challenge therefore would be how do we sustainably produce more food for all people? This needs to be done in a way that takes account of the natural resource space in the case of climate change. At the moment, the contribution of livestock to food and nutrition security in Africa and in other developing countries is low compared to its potential, mainly because of low animal productivity. Therefore, research to sustainably increase productivity through combining improved technologies, enabling policies, organizational and institutional arrangements is needed. Increased productivity coupled with lower prices can improve both availability and accessibility of food and nutrition from animal sources for food consumers. For the coming decades, the small-holder production systems will remain crucial to the development of agriculture in Africa and the developing world. A critical role for research is to identify pathways for sustainable intensification of small farms, most of which are integrated crop livestock farms. As incomes urbanization and diet shifts towards higher value commodities like meat and milk, the contribution of livestock to economic growth increases through its multiplier effect with agriculture and other sectors outside agriculture. Increased economic activity in livestock fosters forward linkage through growth in livestock processing and marketing and backward linkage through increased demand for inputs and livestock services. Thus, livestock has a growing share of economic activity and rural incomes. Livestock also creates employment, not only in the production, but in trading, processing and marketing. Employment in other sectors is especially high in the formal sectors of Africa and Asia, which constitutes as much as 70% of the market. In Africa, animal assets also act as a type of insurance and can be quickly sold to finance investments such as school fees or to maintain consumption during illness or drought. For some of the arid to semi-arid areas of the marginal lands, livestock raising is the only productive enterprise possible. Climate change causes serious risk to lives and livelihoods, particularly in Africa, where poor farmers are the most vulnerable populations. The impact of climate change may substantially delay or reverse progress towards addressing development challenges. Therefore, any sustainable improvement in productivity must also recognize the challenge posed by climate change. In this regard, Ethiopia has developed a climate-resilient green economy strategy that focuses on reducing greenhouse green emissions through relying on renewable energy source and aggressively greening the country through integrated rural resource management. In this regard, while successfully covered deforestation from 3% vegetation cover to 11% within a total of 15 years' time. Ladies and gentlemen, in the past few years, agricultural development has recognized prominence in discussions on policies for economic development and poverty alleviation in Africa. Africa leaders have repeatedly underlined agriculture's economic and social importance and made specific policy proposals on targets for agricultural growth and for a significant increase in the share of national budgets devoted to agriculture through the Kadim. The rapid demand growth associated with income growth, urbanization and expanded regional markets as well as relatively higher prices for livestock production open up new opportunities for small-holder producers in domestic, regional and international markets. However, throughout these different levels, the major challenge is in the competitiveness of small-holder farmers. A key issue is to keep and implement appropriate strategies and support systems that allow small farmers, specialized livestock keepers and crop livestock mix to adopt technologies as the scale necessary to make a major difference. In this regard, capacity, development and women participation are important components, particularly in job creation for key actors in the current and future livestock agriculture. Women's role in livestock has been very instrumental, playing significant roles in raising animals as well as processing and selling livestock commodities. Ladies and gentlemen, as I move towards the end of my speech, I would like to draw your attention to the following. The first rising demand in Africa for milk, meat and eggs is a thriving, great challenge in the continent's livestock sector. This growing demand will be met on one way or another. We all need to work together to influence how the demand is met. The growth presents small-holders who provide most of these commodities today with big new opportunities. The growth also presents Africa with many big and new opportunity, health and environmental challenges. Having the largest livestock population in Africa, Ethiopia have not benefited from the sector due to the various development challenges. Direct export revenue of livestock animals, meat, was only $262 million USD while potentially it would easily be quadra-built. Due to infrastructural and market system problems, most of our animals are traded informally to neighboring countries without generating foreign currency. Animal health, traceability and quarantine services are the key components that need to be put in place in order to change the scenario. The Government of Ethiopia has determined that livestock will be a priority sector in the coming years. In addition, livestock being high-value commodity will contribute an increasing household income accelerating poverty reduction. Growth of this sector will also directly contribute in generating of foreign currency, directly and through value-added product of meat and leather industry. As a host country of Elri, through the years we have benefited through capacity building and implementation of joint programs. Recently, completed livestock development master plan is one good example to mention the contribution of Elri towards national livestock development. This master plan will be the living and guiding document of livestock investment for the coming decade. My government will remain committed to implement the strategy and realize the livestock potential as one of the agricultural growth driving starting this year. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my hope that this conference will address the priorities set by the heads of states and the Government of the African Union in the Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Agricultural Growth and Transporation for shared prosperity and improved livelihoods. The question is how livestock will contribute to some of the commitments which include having poverty by the year 2025 through inclusive agricultural growth and transformation, boosting intra-Africa trade in agricultural commodities and services and enhancing resilience of livelihoods and production systems to climate variability and other related risks. This conference is also specially appropriate in light of the fact that this year is being recognized as the African Union Year of Agriculture and Food Security. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my hope that this special conference during the recovery of early at 40 will offer an opportunity for participants to dialogue on key issues facing animal agriculture. The way forward which will be forged at this event will be crucial in advancing our common agenda of ending hunger and poverty and improving economic well-being in Africa and beyond. Finally, I wish you all successful deliberations. To those who have come from outside Ethiopia have an enjoyable stay in a desert. Thank you.


When the narcissist is obsessed with you, you try to leave and move on with your life Or the narcissist left you and then came back regretting the discard. In either situation You want nothing to do with them and this is what creates the obsession They cannot deal with rejection. They cannot deal with the thoughts feelings and ideas That come along with them being rejected by you They don't want to believe or recognize that you are not interested in them because it produces these unpleasant and undesired thoughts feelings and ideas within them. It makes them feel worthless and insignificant As though they are not worthy or deserving of your time Narcissists have a need to be noticed They have a need to be treated as though they are worthy of recognition or attention Their false self and their illusions need to be validated If you refuse or decline their invitation to validate their false self and their illusions It will cause a narcissistic injury It will trigger them to self-reflect on their inner feelings of inadequacy But because narcissists are weak and they don't want to deal with or resolve their true inner pain and trauma They will project their feelings and insecurities onto you They will act as though you are not good enough for them and they will treat you with contempt They will even make false allegations against you Or bring up something that you confided in them about your past And then use it to start a smear campaign and enforce fly monkeys When you try to disconnect or separate yourself from them They don't reflect on how you don't want anything to do with them. They don't care about you or what you want They don't even view you as a separate person In their minds you're just an object that is meant to serve them and fulfill their needs They're not pursuing you because they love or care about you Narcissists are self-absorbed and lack empathy They only care about their own needs When they are pursuing you It's because they are persistently seeking to extract or obtain something from you Whether it's your physical attractiveness characteristic traits time attention resources They are pursuing you because you have something that they want They make assumptions and imagine you sharing your looks traits time attention and resources with someone else This is what produces the envy and jealousy They know and understand that they could never be fulfilled by you They could never be satisfied But they also know that someone else will They know that someone else could be very happy with you Sometimes they can end up pursuing you It's like they want you but they also know that they can never be satisfied They will continue to pursue you because of the thought-wide idea of you being intimately involved with someone else Or even just your thoughts or attention being on someone else it makes them feel very envious and jealous They want you to want them because it regulates their emotions and boosts their self-esteem But they already know that they cannot be satisfied. They accept that They know that you will never be enough for them You will never be enough to fill the dark empty void within them, but they still want you Because they recognize the value and the desirability of everything that you have to offer They know and understand How satisfying it could be for someone else to partake and share that with you It's the thought-wide idea of your value and desirability And of someone else being intimately involved with you that keeps them coming back Even though they know that they cannot be satisfied They just don't want to see anyone else with you They don't want to see someone else partaking and enjoying all of the things that could never satisfy them It makes them hateful angry envious and jealous Because they could never be satisfied They could never be fulfilled by you So if they have to sit back and watch someone else partake and experience the satisfaction and fulfillment from everything that you have to offer That they could never derive any benefit from It makes them feel as though something is wrong with them It becomes a reminder to them that they were the problem They have to act as though you did all of these things wrong or you were never good enough for them Which is really just a projection of how they feel about themselves They don't want to accept responsibility for anything that they've done they will start playing the victim as though you've done something to them But it's only because you want nothing to do with them It's only to keep you around, to keep you in their life You might have left them and made it very clear that you want to move on But in their minds you're still together You're still with them They cannot abandon the thoughts and feelings that they have of you Because of the mental images that they are creating in their minds You may not be partaking in anything that they are suggesting or offering to you But in their minds you are still something significant to them In their minds you are involved with them if you go completely no contact it really affects them Because they have these thoughts and ideas These mental images of who they think you are and what they think you are going to be to them But it has nothing to do with reality If you go no contact with them they will create disruptions or problems Even though you want nothing to do with them They are still coming after you They will act as though they know you so well They might even tell you that they know you better than you know yourself Even if you've only engaged with them on a few occasions In their minds they believe that they know everything that they need to know Because of their thoughts and feelings of you And the mental images that they are creating Are preoccupying or filling their minds continually And to a troubling extent they cannot control their own thoughts and emotions This is what creates the obsession and causes them to start stalking you It creates this person holding these idiosyncratic beliefs or impressions That are contradicted by reality or rational argument Who cannot escape their own ideas or mental images of you Their thoughts and emotions are so impaired That contact is lost with external reality When you try to leave and move on from them They are still following you They are still harassing you And the real reason why they are doing this Is because they are miserable and dissatisfied They don't want to see you moving on and being happy without them Because they know that they are predestined to never be happy They act as though they don't like you or they don't agree with you Yet they keep returning to you A normal person would not continue to return to something that they don't like People who continue to return to things that they say is not good Or that they say they don't like cannot be normal Because normal people don't want to be involved or engaged With a person that they don't like, don't agree or don't support This is a symptom of a mental disorder And it is one of the first symptoms to look for They can't stop They can't leave you alone Because they have these thoughts, ideas and mental images That preoccupy and fill their minds continually And to a troubling extent They have to constantly try to occupy or attract your interest or attention Because they can't move on They can't let you go They are becoming progressively worse in their minds Because of their inability and lack of power to influence or direct your behaviour And the course of events They become obsessed Because they are beginning to realise That they can no longer be an influence in your life If you want nothing to do with them You cannot be friendly with them Because they have these thoughts, ideas and mental images of you Which they are expecting to play out in reality You cannot be friends You have to completely detach from them Because they don't want to operate in reality They want the fantasy You cannot be friendly with them Because you've already caused a narcissistic injury by rejecting them Being friendly is not going to be enough for them They will want to hurt you They will want revenge They might not make contact with you for some time But they are still watching you They remain hidden But they are still checking in on what you are doing They are stalking you Spying on you They are constantly reading, seeing or hearing something That is causing them emotional distress They are constantly worrying About what they might be missing by not watching you It compels them to act It compels them to keep track of you Some event or circumstance is constantly triggering in their minds Which is causing a particular action, process or situation to happen They entertain these thoughts, ideas and mental images Which causes them to act It causes them to be very dangerous and unpredictable These types of people who develop obsessions And go around stalking and harassing people Are not friendly with them And go around stalking and harassing people Are not fit to be on the streets They are not fit to be in society They should not be in the company of other people Because they are putting people at risk of danger or harm They are out of control People who cannot control their thoughts, ideas and mental images in their minds Will act on them They will follow you They will stalk and harass you They haven't got anything more significant or meaningful going on in their lives They have too much time on their hands Which they spend focusing on you and watching what you are doing They are miserable and dissatisfied And these thoughts and emotions are consuming them and causing them distress They cannot relieve the pain Their way of dealing with these thoughts and emotions is to stalk and harass
