Nilesh.org Notes on technology and everything else

The Third Person Thing(TPTT for you acronym freaks), as Nilesh had named it the first time he encountered it when Satyen was randomly walking on snow, seems to be a strange psychosocial behaviour in which an individual gets immense pleasure by referring to himself as a third person. He comments on his thoughts as if he is able to read his own mind and narrates it to the audience, which in turn, gets more pleasure reading it. Nilesh wouldn't call it a mental syndrome as Arnab mentions. It is rather a complex social behaviour, which is nurtured by the almost riotous feedback from the audience. It means that both the writer and the reader mutually exchange the virus before it spreads. There is nothing one can do about it. For that matter, nobody wants it to die. You can see some early sightings of this behaviour here and here. Anyone finding any new sightings, please post the links for everyone's benefit.
