Is Adulthood Such a Good Idea?
Millennials and Gen-Zers refuse to grow up and assume the mantle of adulthood. Why is that?
The youth of today are opting out of the political and social game and the public square. They are not participating in the life of collective, not even as rebels. They merely seek to sabotage the established order via avoidance, virtue signaling and self-aggrandizing morality plays, withdrawal, and passive-aggressive resistance. They constitute a new phenomenon: the avoidant revolutionary.

Are You Hurting People Unintentionally?
Просмотров 6 тыс.9 часов назад
Trauma is contagious. You can develop PTSD just being exposed to a victim’s story (according to the DSM 5-TR). This is known as vicarious or secondary trauma. The risk is especially high if you had experienced a primary trauma. Reactions fall into two camps: avoidance or hyperarousal. How to cope? Community and happiness (or wellbeing) are the answers. Seek help if the symptoms get worse. Find ...

Triggering Cascade, Trauma Imprinting, and Total Reactance
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.День назад
"Triggering cascade" is when a seemingly minor trigger results in vastly disproportional trauma. Painful memories, replete with the attendant negative emotions, are walled behind mental barriers: combinations of dams and firewalls. Sometimes even an innocuous mishap or a merely unpleasant event rupture these defenses and decades of hurt are released in an avalanche that, at times, can be life t...
Narcissist: Nonconceptual, Nonidentity, Othering Failure

The failure in the formation of the Self/Ego via separation-individuation in early childhood results in a cascade of deficiencies in later life.

Should You Become a Psychopath to Break the Narcissist?
Просмотров 12 тыс.21 день назад
The narcissist has 3 essential demands from his partner and companion, 3 Ss: Sex, Supply, Services. If she provides any 2 of these 3, he is pacified and ignores her: she is a captive and he is indifferent to her emotions, needs, and wishes. He takes her silent, acquiescing presence in his life for granted: an inert, lifeless, and objectified or even mummified fixture. The narcissist acts simila...

Are You People-pleaser or Pathological Charmer?
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.Месяц назад
People-pleasers dread conflicts and wish to avoid them (they are conflict-averse) - hence their need to believe that they are universally liked. Always pleasant, well-mannered, and civil, the conflict-averse people-pleaser is also evasive and vague, hard to pin down, sometimes obsequious and, generally, a spineless "non-entity". These qualities are self-defeating as they tend to antagonize peop...

    Maybe it's just in my head, but on the off chance it works for anyone else: I have used my $16 Amazon plant/grow lights as light therapy for years. Just laying beneath them or doing yoga under them. Again maybe I'm just tricking myself, but it's been a great hack for me. Hope it helps, homies. 🖖

    I only know when I hurt people when they tell me and it's rare that they have the courage. I hate it, I hate life and I hate myself for it. It makes life that much more difficult after what I've already been through. I'm just waiting to die basically. I would NEVER intentionally hurt someone but the anger seeps into every aspect of life and the therapists I have been to are less than helpful, they are just expensive. So all I can do to prevent it is to isolate.

    when i was discarded he was in a chaos filled rant and just kept repeating over and over that he could never be good enough that he was such a loser and that i would always want more than he could give. i had always told him i never wanted anything from him but his love and trust and honesty. I didnt need anything material from him as i am self sufficient. i even offered many times to help him financially and he refused (now i realize this probably hurt his self idea even more to have me offer to help) he never ever believed me and always said why would someone like you want me. It was a never ending loop of his self-hatred. In the end i said "why can't you allow yourself the joy of friendship and love?". everything fell on deaf ears.

    1. ✔️closed family, 2. ✔️ appearance > substance 3. ✔️ splitting, either or 4. ✔️ us against them 5. ✔️ roles, competitive pitting against another from a young age 6. ✔️ superficial communication 7. ✔️ ignored, mocked, backdooring 8. ✔️ inappropriate dynamics 9. ✔️ cannot be content, 10. ✔️ reframing 11. ✔️ adultifying 12. 13. ✔️ I've left my family alone but they haven't left me alone. They've gone on to tearing my closest relationships away from me but im still no contact and ill probanly be that way for the rest of my life unfortunately. i was never allowed to just be myself. I was never recognized for what i truly am. its always whatever narrative they choose. And it just got old explaining this kind of thing to them. they just got worse and worse when i ever talked about it or pulled away. But im doing a lot better now at 27 especially because i understand these things more. And it makes it easier to feel okay with being alone and building my life alone. Far far away from them. Thanks for your video.

      Listen to the description starting at about 29:00 and think of what would have been a normal child. This is all the child knows before they learn words or how to walk. Fear, despair and pain - before you have formed your own first thoughts. Now this normal child will live what they learned. And "hurt people hurt people" is not talking about a narcissist. That's a pathology that's not normal. But this normal child is cruelly mistreated and they think that is normal because for them it is. Then they grow up but now they are hard-wired to lash out or hide. They don't know how to be in the world and they are horrified at the things they do without intent. There's a poem - Children live what they learn. It's not a matter of 'they could change if they wanted to' because as hard as they try when they are stressed or not thinking or, worse yet, retraumatized they will revert to what they learned in their cribs.
