Hi Eunice -
Good advice about not going too far down the rabbit hole. If I had to wager a guess, I would say I’m venturing down, not too far, enjoying my time, but some of the shit is way to crazy for me. I’m an intellectual, rational, analytical and logical thinker. If there is no evidence to support a conspiracy, I’m not interested.
As for staying away from politics…. I can’t help myself. I love it. My BS is in Public Law. I was actually an insurance adjuster for 12 years. Fortunately before the crash, when corporations paid. I enjoyed my work because it was very mentally stimulating. As for getting triggered? Lol, no. I am an objective researcher. I don’t get emotionally involved. Even if I did, I would know when to pull back, I know what paranoia is. I have a minor in psych. Anyway, my research isn’t about looking for conspiracies, it is about looking for the truth. I see crazy crap on the way, I go in the other direction.
Negative conditioning…. the White Patriarchy rules…. Black lives mean nothing…. women are not as strong or intelligent as men, thus are not equal to = subservient to men….. women must put being beautiful (perfect) over intelligence…. anyone with a sexual preference other than heterosexual is invisible, therefore, violence against them means nothing. Yep. Got those messages. I also grew up in a home where I was taught very, very different things about the world. Women can do anything they want, you are just as good as anyone else. Skin color doesn’t matter. It’s o.k. to be gay. Your brains are more important than your looks.
I see politicians for what they are now; narcissistic, sociopathic, psychopathic, predatory; because of the men I’ve dated. Yes, I dated predators. I started on-line dating in 2011 without knowing wtf a predator was. I was a nice woman who wanted to meet a nice man. Boy was I fresh meat for the wolves. Now? Lmao!! You want to go out with me and have coffee, fine. I can quietly observe you while we consume my fav beverage. You want to date me? We can hang while I check you out. You want a relationship with me…..? That background check I run on you better come back clean, and you’re gonna get a shitload of questions. And I sure as f**k will not be meeting you on the internet cuz those dudes lie about who they are. Nope. Sit me across from a bad due, I can sus him out within 15 mins or so of sitting down talking to him. Cuz I got this innocent looking face. People start telling me all sorts of shit, they just start blabbing, and I get vibes when people are lying. Unless they’re a psychopath. Psychopaths don’t register on any scale with anyone. They seem human, they appear normal, like everyone else does, they’re masters at fitting in…. but they aren’t human. They have little to no emotional response; to anything. Sounds like the kind people who run our country.
I’m neither predator nor prey. I refuse to be. I will not be prey, I will not prey on others. I know our system is designed that way. I know capitalism is dog eat dog. I don’t care. I am a human being; I have choices. I refuse to comply with a system that thinks it is going to force me into a position that is incompatible with my nature. It will not. So…. I will operate within the system as a neutral party and as a helpmate to people who will accept my assistance. My ultimate goal is to become a Mental Health Peer Counselor. I’ve had depression for over 32 years. I could help a lot of people with depression.
Alice Miller is enlightening. Thank you for suggesting her!! I’ll also check out Hermann, she sounds fascinating.
Btw, I’m also reading a book by Peter Breggin, a psychiatrist who is against all forms of psychotherapeutic treatment other than psychotherapy and any natural “medication,” such as stabilizing vitamins and minerals, improving dietary habits, exercising, etc. He is one of the advocates in the U.S. for tapering psych patients off meds. It seems this is much more of a big topic in England, where their medical services are centralized, and they saw much more quickly than we did how psych meds are not beneficial to psych patients. In fact, when patients are put on psych meds, they do worse! They are more likely to be hospitalized multiple times, lose their job, and become permanently disabled. So…. fun topic for me to discuss with my shrink tomorrow. 😉
Hey…. maybe I could write about that for my first article? That would certainly be a big one. I know I’m gonna write about on-line dating. Those dudes are creepy. Maybe they’ve gotten better. Eh….. probably not.
I know I’m long-winded. It’s cuz I got a busy brain. Plus lots to write about bursting to get out!!
