Does anyone else peg Travis Kelce as manic?

He's very thirsty and probably does exactly what she tells him to do. She seems like a control freak. Together, they seem to cheapen one another's brand for some reason.

Taylor probably pegs him all the time.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Desperate to be a Hollywood player. Will use anyone to get there.

R3 for the win.

He just seems like a massive attention seeker and being in a relationship with one of the world's biggest music stars (at present I mean) provides him with the attention he so desperately craves.

No one has pegged him

Cluster B king!

Everyone in Hollywood has Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Jesus Christ

It doesn’t make them “on” like this, constantly seeking attention

That’s either bipolar and in a mania stage, or histrionic personality disorder. And histrionic is more associated with being inappropriately sexual behavior (PRAISE ME)

Provocative (or seductive) behavior

Relationships are considered more intimate than they actually are

Attention-seeking

Influenced easily

Speech (style) wants to impress; lacks detail

Emotional lability; shallowness

Make-up; physical appearance is used to draw attention to self

Exaggerated emotions; theatrical

Histrionics are rare birds I think, but fun as hell.

Histrionics are pretty common among women (JLo would be the template)

Very rare among men

No way does this relationship last. They're just using each other for publicity.

Jlo is actually the perfect mate for Taylor.

OMG R12 that’s brilliant

I think she’s a lesbian and Joe was gay, that’s why it went on for so long. There’s photos of Joe pre-fame where he has super gay face and is snuggled up with some guy. Not as blatant as the Matt Bomer photos (when he was in the closet) but he’s very gay looking.

I bet Travis makes her sick but it’s worth the publicity.

Travis wants to be the next John Cena and The Rock and this is helping him get there.

He is def cluster B, but everyone plays along. He received some honorary degree at a graduation . Before he shook the deans hand and took the fake diploma, he chugged a can of beer , crushed it against his forehead and threw it down . The dean laughed

[quote] It doesn’t make them “on” like this, constantly seeking attention

That is the very definition of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

I would peg that hairy old of his.

R17 no

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is not inherently tied to attention seeking behavior

Someone extremely private like Peter Thiel can have NPD

Attention seeking behavior is a sign of something else

Sure, R9, unless one of them is your mother.

They are both homosexual. This is how they pay the rent.

Narcissists are attention-seeking people. I've known a few. One put a guy in jail because she knowingly ate a piece of weed-infused cake. After she ate it she immediately called the press and the police told them she was allergic to weed and it could've killed her. She was all over the news for a few days. She went to court and told the judge he purposely gave her the cake and he got 2 years in a mental facility. Every time she finds out the news will be in a certain place she shows up to get on camera. the state legalized weed a long time ago and she used to smoke copious amounts of it. Peter Thiel is more than likely a psychopath.

Travis isn't manic, but quite a few of the posters on this thread are clearly delusional:

[quote]The relationship with Alwyn seems like the kind she would prefer - someone very quiet, extremely private, and who stays in the background.

Lemme guess: you're a geezer. (Over 40.) Any Swiftie can tell you that Joe being reclusive was a major factor in terms of why they broke up. He's an introvert, she's an extrovert, and they gave it a solid try but finally mutually agreed to part ways. (If anything, the only sus bit here is the timing of her dating Matty Healy from The 1975: it's unclear if she'd formally broken up with Joe by then.) The fans love Travis because they think he's EXACTLY her type, and I agree. (I'm not a Swiftie personally, but I hear all the tea.)

[quote]He just seems like a massive attention seeker and being in a relationship with one of the world's biggest music stars (at present I mean) provides him with the attention he so desperately craves.

It's entirely possible to be an attention-seeker – and I'd agree that Travis is one – but also have a legitimate interest in Taylor. He *is* a millennial, after all, and a vast number of them worship Taylor to the same extent DLers do for Judy, Liza, The Golden Girls & Helen Lawson. Also, I know almost no one on DL watches football, but Travis was already one of the best *and* highest-profile football players well before he met Taylor, and he's considered one of the NFL's best tight ends *ever*. (Yes, I know what you're thinking. No, please don't bother with the super-obvious joke.) He's still in his prime and has already broken over a dozen NFL all-time records!

[quote]No way does this relationship last. They're just using each other for publicity.

They already HAD a fuckload of publicity – independently, though obviously Taylor had more – long before they met. Also, has it escaped your attention that Taylor never dates normies? That's because only other celebrities can understand shit like having 100 paparazzi staked outside of your hotel room while you're on tour. Neither has any need for more of it, and both are already vastly wealthy. (Travis isn't a billionaire like Taylor, but he's made over $100 million just from playing football and probably another $100M or so from endorsements and whatnot.)

[quote]I think she’s a lesbian and Joe was gay, that’s why it went on for so long. There’s photos of Joe pre-fame where he has super gay face and is snuggled up with some guy.

Yes, "gayface" is always 100% accurate in terms of discerning the sexual orientation of any person on the planet. 🙄 (I know DLers try to argue that everyone is gay, but arguing that *Taylor* is gay is flat-out batshit.) Also, just a quick reminder that LITERALLY ALL of the celebs DLers are convinced are gay – despite zero evidence whatsoever – are boyish-looking actors under 30, and British actors in particular. (And this particular saying is true, at least if you've ever spent any real time in London: "He's not gay, dear. He's just British."

Btw basically any actor, musician or politician can be reasonably defined as "attention-seeking," so trying to make an argument to this effect about TNT is a) stating the obvious and b) entirely irrelevant in terms of relationship status. And the OP is incorrect however you slice it: Travis doesn't have any "manic" tendencies.

R23 please tell me you aren’t allowed to vote.

In a few years she will go down as one of the few true all time greats and a multi billionaire. He will be in the Hall,of Fame and considered an all time great and very rich and famous on his own..

Most of us on this thread will still be posting on the DL

He pings of the charts for me.

[quote] He *is* a millennial, after all, and a vast number of them worship Taylor to the same extent DLers do for Judy, Liza, The Golden Girls & Helen Lawson.

Millennials don’t worship Taylor Swift. Millennials worship Britney Spears. Taylor Swift at 34 is a phenomenon for only the youngest millennials. The Zombies who do things like this are all under 30. Millennials are age 44 to 29.

I think she is probably still in love with Joe Alwyn, and this is one we she can send him a message while having fun doing it. Taylor is clearly a serial monogamist, she is going to be in a relationship with someone, even if it isn’t the person she truly wants. I would love to see her prove me wrong about this and marry Kelce because I think he is a great guy. But Kelce is too unlike anyone she has ever dated for me to think this is much more than her playing mind games with Alwyn.

It's more people over 30 who like her now. In a year or two Tyler herself is middle aged. She's getting close to bleeding out her last egg.

And I think R23 is way off base. I think her and Alwyn broke it off because Alwyn wouldn’t marry her. For whatever reason.

I don’t think she got dumped per se. She might have even been the one doing the breaking up. But I am fairly certain that if she did, that was not how she wanted things to go down.

I do not believe that their relationship ended because he is an introvert and she’s an extrovert. That’s the sort of thing that ends relationships after one year, not six or seven.

Actually, R23, you sound like a completely delusional and over invested weirdo. Seek help.

Based on the photo in the OP, is Taylor Swift the new spokesperson for Depends Undergarments?

She's definitely developing an early gunt.

R1 Indeed because she is a manly lesbian. She wants to be a CEO type of woman... a career woman... writing all her songs and being the boss of her career. What does she want with a manly drunk like that? For her, Travis is just a pit bull she wants to euthanize but homophobic Hollywood wants A-list stars to pretend to be hetero.

R23 This is a photo of him holding hands with a man cozied up on a couch.

I guess that’s what straight British men do too.

Actually I think it may be Histrionic Personality Disorder. The male variant of Histrionic Personality Disorder is more about boasting about feats than about dressing provocatively.

I had ChatGPT create an example using Superman. 75% of this sounds like Kelce.

-

If Superman had Histrionic Personality Disorder (HPD), his behavior would be markedly different from the traditional portrayal of his character. Here’s how his behavior might manifest:

### Attention-Seeking and Emotionality:

- **Public Persona**: Superman would be excessively flamboyant in his public appearances, always ensuring that he is the center of attention. He might perform unnecessary stunts or take dramatic poses to capture the admiration of the public.

- **Media Presence**: He would frequently appear in interviews, talk shows, and public events, constantly seeking the spotlight. Superman might exaggerate his feats and embellish stories to captivate his audience.

- **Emotional Displays**: Superman would show intense, exaggerated emotions in both victories and defeats. He might cry dramatically when things go wrong or show over-the-top joy and gratitude when praised.

### Interpersonal Relationships:

- **Superhero Community**: Within the Justice League, he might be overly charismatic, seeking constant validation from his peers. Superman could be prone to forming superficial relationships and might quickly shift his affections and alliances to maintain excitement and novelty.

- **Romantic Involvements**: His romantic relationships would be intense and rapidly changing. Superman might engage in flirtatious behavior, seeking reassurance of his attractiveness and desirability from multiple partners.

### Risk-Taking and Self-Dramatization:

- **Heroic Feats**: He might take unnecessary risks during his heroics to prove his bravery and gain admiration. Superman could engage in reckless actions, such as confronting villains in highly visible, public settings to ensure maximum attention.

- **Self-Promotion**: Superman would frequently promote his heroics, possibly even exaggerating the dangers he faces or the impact of his actions to appear more heroic. He might use social media extensively, posting dramatic updates and heroic selfies.

### Appearance and Style:

- **Costume and Presentation**: His costume would be even more elaborate and eye-catching, possibly with additional accessories and bright colors to stand out. Superman might change his look frequently to keep the public’s interest.

- **Public Image**: He would be very conscious of his public image, perhaps engaging in charity work or public speeches with a dramatic flair to maintain a positive and heroic persona.

In essence, Superman with HPD would be a larger-than-life figure, always in the spotlight, and using his heroic deeds as a stage for his emotional and attention-seeking needs. His actions would be driven more by a need for validation and admiration than by pure altruism.

R19 You really need to study your Cluster Bs before opening your mouth and sounding so incredibly ignorant. You’ve embarrassed yourself twice now and just keep on digging, proving what a laughable fool you are.

[quote] Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others.

[quote]Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a complex psychological condition that presents with a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy.

It does not necessarily include attention-seeking (histrionic) behavior. It can, but does not have to.

R37 are you autistic? You seem autistic.

You ARE autistic! Jesus Christ I’m good. You are the person who accuses other people of being an Emily Blunt Troll. I said that there is no Emily Blunt Troll and you repeat the line often because echolalia has made you fixated on the consonant sounds in “Emily Blunt Troll” which you repeat over in over in your head, due to autism.

Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll Emily Blunt Troll

See look how often you repeat yourself

Autism 101

You get stuck in looping thoughts

I don't know if he's manic, but there's something about him that gives me the creeps. I don't know what it is. I seldom have any reaction like that to any kind of celebrity as I am just indifferent to them in general. I don't know how Taylor Swift can stand for him to touch her. I know... MARY!

I agree R41 They don't go together at all. She doesn't seem like the type to go for a stupid jock. And she is always talking about feminism. I would be so embarrassed if I was with a guy who smashed a beer can on his face.

He's Hollywood networking like crazy because of her. So much winning for him and his post football career.

It will make her eventual scathing breakup double album about him worth it.

he's just a golden retriever. it's not that deep (and neither is he but damn is he hot)

Is he gay or why is he touching Tom Cruise?

[quote] Any Swiftie can tell you

Tell me more, r23. No-- really. Your "thoughts" are "fascinating."

We're diagnosing personality disorders based on reports of celebrities trying to get more publicity? Jesus Christ, it's like the Meghan Markle freaks have morphed into something even more retarded.

Stop saying retarded you backwards sick fuck.

No! I'll say it if I want!

R43 That’s exactly what this relationship is was for. He wants to break into Hollywood and this was the girl to do it with.

I still think this is a PR relationship.

This is still a fake relationship between a lesbian and a opportunist

How can a forum full of men who generally based on their own posts seem to have no one romantically in their life, be such an expert on other peoples love and sex life people they would never in real life ever know?

It’s easy folks today everyone is entitled to their own truth. Just make up any crazy shit you want and it can be seen as the truth as well.

[quote]Actually, R23, you sound like a completely delusional and over invested weirdo.

As opposed to the plainly delusional weirdos here thinking they have the ability to use the DSM-V on a person they've never met and never will meet – plus they lack a psychiatry or psychology degree in the first place? Uh-huh. But you do you.

[quote]Millennials don’t worship Taylor Swift. Millennials worship Britney Spears.

Um, okay Boomer. But seriously, nobody "worships" Britney these days, nor have they for at least 15 years now. Taylor's base is Gen Z, but also millennials under 40.

[quote]I had ChatGPT create an example...

R36, PLEASE do not ask ChatGPT to answer questions on here FFS. 🤦🏻‍♂️ It's useless garbage and entirely unoriginal, and I'm hoping at some point TPTB here enforce a ban on that ridiculousness.

[quote]I think she is probably still in love with Joe Alwyn

It's been 18 months. Let it go, hon. They are never, ever getting back together again.

[quote]Millennials worship Britney Spears.

They absolutely do not.

[quote]She's definitely developing an early gunt.

Menopause

They both seem like alcoholics

I like Taylor Swift. She’s smart and she’s progressive and uses great fame responsibly. What I don’t get is the mediocrity of her music and the idolatry of the same. Sheesh.

As for the speculation about Travis, her and their relationship on this thread, the word hysterical comes to mind.

I don't really hate Taylor. I have no reason too. I don't think I've ever heard any of her songs. Being the Cowboy Junkies troll it's clear where my tastes in music are. What I hate is all the publicity. I try to avoid everything about her yet I know everything about here. Osmosis or something like that I guess. Mostly I hate her fans. Especially the over 30 ones. I have a friend at work who is about 45 and is the biggest Swiffer of them all. They creep me out.

R57 No she doesn’t. She plays victim and has hurt people’s careers. She’s still dissing Kim Kardashian from something that happened years ago on her new album.

She’s definitely a mean girl and she knows how to trigger and let her fans do her dirty work.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I don’t know what happened to my post at R60 but I said.

R52 Taylor has always been about PR with her relationships. She has it down to a formula.

I remember when she “broke up” with Harry Styles and the paparazzi took photos of her alone on a boat leaving after the breakup.

But yeah I’m sure nothing is staged or phony about her relationships, especially with a football player who wants to break into Hollywood who never dated a white woman in his life.

[quote] It does not necessarily include attention-seeking (histrionic) behavior. It can, but does not have to

Yes it does.

Which makes you likely to be one.

Good luck dying alone, you disordered piece of shit!

R40 is The I Hate Emily Bmunt Troll, drowning in a sea of Twinkies and Edy’s ice cream.

Looks like Taylor and Chewbacca are engaged.
