Networking in general is a tedious chore which is why most of us do the minimum we can get away with. To want to do a lot of it is like wanting to do a lot of laundry. Something weird there which doesn’t add up.

Yeah but I’m guessing in most cases of NPD that sense of control is just a side dish. The main course is whatever that access and entryism enables. In this case apparently laundering reputation and buying a sort of force field around his predatory activities.

Seems like lovelessness mislabeled as powerlessness would be sufficient
