Yeah, you're exactly right. They swing too far in that direction. And it is a way that you can hold on to a relationship where you're not wanted. I hear this all the time. My boyfriend is abusive, but he had trauma as a kid, so I know I can't leave him. And I'm like, how do you figure? You know, how do you figure? But that's what happens.

Our minds, we're programmed to look for ways we can make it work. And I think it's hijacking our parenting instinct and, you know, some of our highest motives are hijacked and being used for ill purposes.

I feel like everything is like that. I mean, my experience as a person is that everybody has good and bad. Everybody's kind of capable of the same bad as the worst people. But we countervail it with efforts to do better things and to be virtuous. And so... I kind of think I'm not of the school that everybody's a narcissist. That word is like so overused. There is such a thing.

Somebody has to be Teflon.

You know, somebody somebody has to just like not care that everybody hates them or that they're going to get killed in the battle. They just have to be like, but I'm the greatest.
