    There IS an extent to which this seems true for everyone, tho… Like, we were all “parented” in some way and that almost always involves answering and learning to defend oneself…

      Can you clarify this a bit more? I’m not understanding this yet.

        So everyone with parents/adult figures (almost everyone except wolf-children) they had to answer to, instilled a low-key compulsion to answer questions or any sentence with that lift at the end indicating questioning. Cuz you were in trouble if you didn’t. Childen have no 5th amendment aha

          Are you feeling ok? Can you share some more of your feelings?

              As an anonymous Internet person, I want you to know that I care about you.

              I also want you to know that I’ve gone through a lot of struggles, and I support you.

                Can I ask what the deal here is? Do you think my comments are inordinate within the context of "having been parented + human)? Do you think its unusual that I generalize feeling a proclivity towards feeling it necessary to respond satisfactorily in the face of external inquiries? Is that not a normal thing?

                I’m approaching all of this purely from the vantage point of curiosity :)

                  Your idea makes perfect sense, though I think it’s not only embedded in culture (parenting), but also in our nature as humans.

                  I’m tempted to say that humans are born curious, and by extension, most humans like to share their knowledge or more often their opinions. I know I do.

                  Just say you’re not going to hurt yourself or anyone else.

                    @[email protected]’s thought process seems perfectly rational. Contrary, your continued belittling of and attempts to force OP into the role of a mentally ill person appears almost like a superiority complex or obsession, uncannily so.

                    You’re likely a wonderful person who just formulated yourself in a very unlucky way, but OP would surely have spoken up if they needed help.

                    Can you please explain your understanding of the situation? Like, I live by myself and I’m very good right now. But I want to respond+inquire to help ease your concerns right now)
