You and I are playing two different games. it seems like you're trying to "take me down" while I'm just identifying your behavior patterns for the audience. False accusations, labeling & insults (e.g., troll, pathetic, incapable). These are all examples of emotional immaturity.

Each comment of yours fits the narcissistic style of speaking: Invalidation, blaming, emotional immaturity, you-statements.

yeah ok pal. Narcissistic talking style.

I was in a relationship like this and it was a PR nightmare because all our friends/family would think we are "fighting" like domestic violence when in actuality it was simple difference of opinion, like whether we should budget or what to have for dinner.

Nice dodge. No, i am just literate. I read books. I write papers. I could guess that you may be projecting.

Ok and who are you? Why should anyone care about whether you are convinced or not? Are you a bouncer at a private club?

That second part sounds like punishment (i.e., accountability, called out, and schism which I interpret to mean exclusion or banishment). Am i understanding correctly? There's negativity and then there's punishment. Punishment seems like a subcategory of negativity because it's a bad, not good thing.

They don't know how to talk constructively. Emotional topics get, well, emotional

Sure, but that's still anti-social behavior.

The Dark Tetrad And Anonymity

The 2023 study found that individuals with negative and unstable self-perceptions are drawn to anonymity and seek the freedom to take on different personas to satisfy various needs. Individuals struggling with self-consciousness and low self-esteem also prefer to remain anonymous online.

Further, individuals with dark personality traits seem to express malevolent identities from the shadows of anonymity to engage in behaviors that gratify them, but harm others. A 2022 study published in Personality and Individual Differences examined the relationship between online anonymity and the following dark personality traits:

Machiavellianism. Individuals seeking anonymity are high in machiavellianism. This trait is associated with being manipulative and presenting deceptive and adaptable identities online. Digital environments offer people a risk-free opportunity to create personas strategically to achieve iniquitous and self-serving goals.
Psychopathy. A higher level of psychopathy, characterized by antisocial behavior and a lack of empathy or remorse, points to a greater likelihood of presenting an adaptable and inauthentic self online and deceiving others using anonymity.
Sadism. According to the 2023 study, sadism is positively associated with preferring an anonymous presence online to fulfill the need to enjoy others’ suffering, safely from behind a screen.

That's hilarious

That's true. They say that when couples give up and stop fighting that is when the relationship dies.

 

Merriam defines

So hate is just the extreme end of an "unfriendly feeling" which is synonymous to a negative feeling. We can go "golden middle" on this and say that moderate negative feelings are ideal, but even the moderate form seems synonymous to bias or prejudice.
