I read that article about [redacted] and I sort of need to talk about it but also I do not want to talk about it.
#dredged up some personal shit for me but not on the obvious immediate levels.#I don't know.#Something about the morass of excuses and enabling and condemnation but not useful condemnation.#Offering yourself as an emotional anchor to someone dealing with trauma that you were instrumental in causing. Keeping them stuck.#the way you can massively destabilize people by offering them too much emotional connection too fast#And how people who do this routinely think it's emotional honesty and that it's good and healthy - even exceptional and healing -#but it gets so fucked.#the weird black hole effect around people who are so caught up in sharing hypercharged emotional interactions that it warps#their perception of everything.#and any attempt to reestablish contact with reality can be derailed by someone bringing in a counternarrative with enough emotional weight.#and how even at the point where you're seasick with it and you just want it to stop#It's hard to leave because the intensity of that emotional connection is so hard to match. Because it's too much. But it makes everything#else pale in comparison.#This is all sort of a tangential thread.#But.... the reoccurring patterns of social entrapment.#Not why or how people do terrible things to other people.#But how you can get stuck there letting it happen. Too spun around and dizzy to see the way out.#Ugh. Anyway.
