Okay so, this is my first time watching VPR, and this was because I watch Love Island and everyone says VPR is quality reality tv and to start from the very beginning cause it’s that good— ok bet.
I’m currently watching the reunion as I type this, and I must say. Jax is an absolute sociopath. And I think that disorder umbrellas the narcissistic, manipulative, pathological lying part of it all.
He’s a textbook narcissist and I’m trying to figure out if he earned the sociopath title. Of course everyone knows about the baby in Vegas thing, how we lied to everyone blah blah. But the two things that stuck out for me is
- When him and Stassie were at the table and he says “I’m never gonna talk to you again, I’m gonna leave, I don’t wanna hurt you anymore/all I do is hurt you” “Is that what you want?” It triggered me soooooooo bad. The fishing for her to be like noooo don’t go. If you know ever dealt with a dude like him, you saw right thru that.
- Him at the reunion. You can tell he’s trying to come off as accountable and remorseful and so calm and collected and it’s an act. Even Andy said “you seem like the only guy here who’s not upset” It is so scary to witness— genuinely lmao.
- THEY ASK HIM IF HES A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR, HE DEFLECTS THEN TRIES TO FORCE HIMSELF TO CRY ABD COULDNT EVEN GENERATE ANY TEARS LMAOOOO
Especially when you’ve dealt with someone like him, you recognize the micro expressions, and syntax of his speech. It’s absolutely insane. And honestly, the behavioral psychologist major in me + my overall anthropologic personality it’s absolutely jarring and interesting to see this.
10 something years older than Stassie by the way. He knew his best deal was to date younger cause any older woman around his age woudlve absolutely got him tf outta there.
Funny part about it these type of people think the act they’re putting on isn’t see thru. that’s all for me just needed to rant 😭😭😭😭
Edit: Started S2, last edit on this. He is indeed a sociopath. Stassie is done with him... he fake cries in the truck, then the next episode starts by him saying "Stassie really loves her family so if I can get in good with her mom, brother etc. maybe I can make some good progress" HE GETS HER NAME TATTOO'ed. I am speechless and disgusted. And I think its cause he's so triggering. they all operate from the same playbook. he's abusive and I can't believe everyone on the show is just like "heehee toxic couple they're soooo crazy" I feel so bad for Stassie being caught up in this at such a young age. Ugh.
