‘The need to be dependent is a want to be abused’
Independence does not mean being an asshole and hurting others – it means being dependent on Self.
That self unfortunately could be misinterpreted, and when that self is owned by someone other than our expectations – it simply questions our understanding and our certainty of things.
When you question your place in the space of things – it all goes sideways and we resort to
putting up defenses and use self talk that tries to calm our system. We start to justify our knowing
and reach out to collect evidence that supports our notions or beliefs on the topic, and those collections lets us defend our positions more rigorously, which spills over into prejudices, stereotypes and the want to hurt others.
When it’s Women…SHIT gets worse
So if she can fix this mess…
I thank her 🙂
