So my father did it, and I don’t think it was intentional, the big thing was that his perspective was to be treated as objective fact in discussions in which he was a part. You could say something like “I’m cold” and he’d respond with “it’s not cold” in a frustrated tone. The long and short of it in how it fucked me up is that I struggle to trust my own subjective reality and feel the need to get permission to feel things. That can be a real problem when it comes time to form and maintain boundaries for example.

Yeah I associate it with uncontrolled BPD and it fucking terrifies me at this point because of the experiences that caused that association. Being put on a pedestal sucks, your successes become expected and your failures become catastrophic. But also you can feel trapped for fear of hurting someone who you do like who’s in a bad place. And from there enforcing boundaries can start to feel like hurting them.
With my wife we still make points to express that we’d be ok and manage if the other left. Our finances are built with that in mind even. Knowing I can leave makes me always aware of how I don’t want to, and it makes us safe and secure in the fact that we know the other doesn’t want to.
With someone coming on too strong too fast you need to keep your eyes open and be aware of your boundaries. It may be someone who’s awesome and sincere who’s just on a different pace than you, it may be an intentional abuser being machiavellian, but it’s also got a pretty good chance of being someone unstable and sincere and oh fucking boy will that cause problems if you don’t have and maintain boundaries.

9·7 days agoCatholics have the worst converts lol, they expect it to be a more aesthetic protestantism witn extra ritual, but then are shocked when they’re expected to listen to the magesterium and engage with theology in an educated manner without playing protestant calvinball, especially if they’re going to disagree with the magesterium

Yeah if you need more jobs either find work that’s good to do but normally can’t be justified like the American CCC did or cut hours for similar pay

Ok, but I’m not seeing people saying that on here. I’m seeing a lot of people doing the big business < small business < co-op attitude, but not much of the fellating small business owners
