[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I don't think you guys are getting it. The photos I post are not a big deal. They are like candid photos where she is making a weird face or something. They might be mildly embarrassing but nothing to get worked up about. I actually had one of her that was genuinely really unflattering and showed it to her. She even got mad about that and I didn't even post the photo, I just texted it to her.

I guess what you are saying is that she is not really my friend. I don't know, maybe you are right. We have lots in friends in common though, so we see each other a lot. I just don't see why I should have to walk on eggshells around her or change my whole sense of humor because she is so sensitive.[/quote]

In all seriousness, OP, are you on the spectrum?  That is the most generous explanation I can come up with for your attitude and behavior.[/quote]

I wondered this as well - on the spectrum or narcissistic.  I think the latter.  An autistic person wouldn’t have the social skills to recognize they were being the asshole and would need to be told by the woman whose picture was posted.  But an autistic person also wouldn’t have the social skills to be able to deliberately continue the emotional torture (accidentally, maybe, deliberately, no).

A narcissist does typically understand that another person would be uncomfortable but without being able to have any empathy.  A narcissistic person also would be unable to hear criticism and re-cast it as support for his position.
