When what's most important is to mirror this guy so he feels like you're empathic with him, so he's not gonna be angry at you and use the emotional apocalypse of threatening you or blaming you, criticizing you, then that allows you to walk into the dance. It allows you to say, well, tell me what I'm doing. Like, I won't do it again. Which you might've come to that conclusion anyway.

Look, it makes you really uncomfortable and it doesn't seem like it's too much for you to give up. Maybe you would say that, but not while you're being put down and undermined because of it. So when using the word willing, my hope is that people will know if they can walk into it, they can walk out of it.

That's right. And in a family, it's very confusing because most of the time when you're growing up in your family, as I was describing my own family where like angry explosions, just like that's normal. Well, it's kind of not right. And parents saying, you're not hungry. You're tired telling you what you feel or teaching you over time.

That you don't know how to trust your feelings and you shouldn't, in fact, trust your feelings. Or lying about their own, no, no, no, I'm fine when you just heard your mom crying on the phone. So when you're a child and you grow up, and even worse, when you grow up where the gaslighting is about you, you're worthless. You're just so lazy. You're not going to find anyone.

And then that becomes your self-talk and that becomes the scared feelings, your vulnerable feelings that you never want to share with anyone, keeping you at a distance in all relationships. But when you can begin to critically think, and it has to be taught to you, maybe you don't leave, but then you say, I'm not having those conversations with my mom anymore.

The undermining of who you think you are or something about you. It's not that you have a different opinion. It's that you don't know how to think straight. Of course, we have a different opinion about this because you don't know how to think straight. And here are the multiple examples of how you don't know how to think straight. Or you say that, but nobody would agree with you.
