Golden Calf In Sheep's Clothing

         Beware the beguiling con artists who "want to be closer to you" by

talking in voice and video 99% of the time...  For, they can record you, and only tell you that they did so, if the interaction turned out favorable.  They can talk over you and steamroll you, manipulating and coercing you into their own agendas, by voice inflection and connotation.  They can convince you that your real life with them means more, while denying access to ever actually meeting you there (and omit to you, the other ppl that they did see in person, during).  And they can almost never offer to spend any time with you in Second Life, because you don't know or care that your avatar is just as outdated as theirs... In fact, they toss the concept of "accepting one for who one truly is (because love and beauty are not superficial or skin deep)" out the window, and replace it with words that sound wise, because they somehow have the authority to make claims on something to do with an inverted Proteus effect  ...Meanwhile, you're a good enough tool to do their dirty work, but you're never good enough to reap the reward you were originally after, because there's always a convenient excuse (like that they irrecoverably live in Neverland, and your rescue attempts are purposefully repelled to perpetual snipe hunts within your own insecurities).  

Indeed, it may not seem like narcissistic, controlling, toxic, or even predatory behavior until they didn't predict seeing incognito you, embedded in their crowd, analyzing and making sense of things.  But never you worry about their talent of being able to spin damage control, for they deny being the "Gods" everyone fondly refers to them as --so they're totally more innocent, believable, and powerful than you.  

They already, unfortunately, proved your desperate test that money means more to them than love, as traditional values seem to have no more meaning, especially for them, no matter how you try to reach them (Proverbs 1:19).  Let's just say that they're such an excellent Lothario, that they should go fuck themselves as well.  No matter what, tho, they need to know that the buck stops here on their "you won the lottery in love from inside a virtual reality platform" scam.  

You can block them, you can deny them, you can cast voodoo chants and bury them, you can Feng Shui your life, set a path for transcendence, burn everything and leave no trace behind  ...But these sociopaths are a relentless force after your heart - as it seems the easiest target and most satisfying thing for them to have ever devoured (after all, they have none of their own, and yours just might fit the bill).  

Not acknowledging it doesn't keep them from having power over you.  And oversaturating yourself in failure analyzation doesn't help you gain any back.  Best, acceptance and knowledge... To give it back to your higher power (so energy can be expedited back to its source), and by everyone simply being aware of the warning signs (so they can make educated decisions on how to heed avoidance with all that's valued while moving forward).  

You are worthy of love, my friend.  

You do not need "ppl" like this to have it.

We love you, even if indirectly and anonymously.  

You also come from the infinite aetherial of love.  

So there's no reason why you shouldn't love yourself too.
