So?

SO?

They were part of the biggest trial in U.S. history and you say "so"?

So... every damn last one of them could make millions off this trial, like the 
judge's daughter, and NONE of them are talking?

I have a feeling they already have... they just can't divulge WHERE their 
millions in off-shore accounts are being held... yet.

They'll screw up. One or more of them will buy something WAY out of their pay 
scale, and boom. Even MORE reasons for Trump to win on appeal. 

Wanna know why Rudy even bothers to reply to this, with just a "so"?

=====

Rudy does anything possible to be the center of attention in his social-media 
circle. Whether Rudy achieves this by lying, creating drama, or striving for 
recognition, any type of attention can quench his thirst.

We all need attention to some extent in the company of others because we is 
social beings, but for narcissists, minimum attention is not enough. Rudy has a 
deeper hunger for it. Rudy feels satisfied only when Rudy is the center of 
attention.

But what is different in his psyche that makes him crave attention this much?

Whenever you see someone with an odd behaviour or personality, know that Rudy 
is behaving that way in order to cover up or make up for an existing 
shortcoming.

Like his height?

LOL

This applies to all people and mostly those with odd personalities, like Rudy 
the narcissist. A lying person will try to look as innocent as possible. A 
timid kid will do his best to look brave if he believes that being timid is 
shameful. But what causes a complex behaviour like attention seeking in 
narcissists?



1. Rudy Believes That He Deserves It

Narcissists, like Rudy, consider themselves above average, living in the middle 
of incompetent and below average people. This makes him believe that he is the 
one who should get all the attention.

Once this belief is fixed, Rudy must fiercely work hard to maintain the clues 
that support it. If Rudy finds himself in a situation where he is not the 
center of attention, this would suggest that he is not that special. This can 
badly hurt his fragile ego.

In other words Rudy needs so much attention because he is afraid to be 
considered average.

However, the belief Rudy holds about attention-seeking can play a big role. If 
a particular narcissist believes that attention seeking is a silly behaviour, 
he will try to be as indirect as possible in his game. 
GIVING UP ATTENTION IS NOT AN OPTION.



2. It Is A Source of Narcissistic Supply

Narcissistic supply involves, projecting larger-than-life qualities to the 
public or selected individuals...

"Professor Rudy"

"Superior Rudy"

... in order to get positive feedback. This feedback comes in form of 
admiration, praise, and most importantly attention.

(Only to HIMSELF!)

Note that negative attention is also appreciated to some extent.

He would rather get negative attention that zero attention.

(BINGO!)

This narcissistic supply is the oxygen he breathes. Without it, he would sink 
into depression and bad moods. 



3. To Cover Up Inferiority Feelings. (LOL)

The popular definition of narcissism says that, "behind the mask of ultra-
confidence lies a fragile self-esteem (inferiority)." And that is completely 
true. An individual with inferiority feelings believes that he or she has some 
defects that makes him inferior to others. These defects can be real or 
imagined.

(Oh, they're real, all right. Dwarfism?)

Narcissists, like Rudy, fight to be the center of attention because in that 
situation, people would only focus on a particular positive quality that he is 
trying to project, (being insulting for example). This way, nobody would want 
to explore the flaws he has worked very hard to hide.

Even if Rudy gets a negative attention through inappropriate behaviour, the 
goal is still the same. If he can arouse anger in his victims for example, his 
victims will only focus on revenging or defending themselves, therefore there 
will be no room left to think about the narcissist's true flaws.



4. He Feels Ignored. (ding ding ding ding... we have a winner!)

Feeling invisible is one of Rudy's worst fears.

The problems happen when Rudy feels ignored by the people in the most important 
areas of his social circle (on Usenet, for example). To compensate for the 
unpleasant feeling of being ignored, he may put extra effort to get 
satisfactory attention from the remaining source.

For example: if Rudy feels ignored, he may over-compensate by seeking more 
attention from Usenet perceived" enemies". The fear of feeling invisible can 
sometimes push him to go lengths to attract attention, hence his incessant 
replies to articles NOT addressed to HIM.
