Feeling guilty can even make you ask a psychopath to marry you
Helpless people are not good people…most of the time.
Watched last night, or at least I’ve tried to watch, the new Netflix show, Baby Reindeer.
Had high hopes and thought that this was going to be like any other psychological movie. Presumed that the plot was going to be the same, but to my surprise, the plot was different this time.
Quite disturbing, may I say..
The movie explores the real trauma of the comedian Richard Gadd, who experiences abuse, stalking, assault, and many other things from a +40 years old woman.
If they hadn’t warned me at the beginning that this was a true story, I couldn’t believed that this kind of situation existed.
To my surprise the cause of all this horrendous and dark story is guilt and the need to make people feel good about themselves.
Donny, the main character, goes through many phases. He is the empath at the beginning and then the savior who wants to escape the feeling of guilt by making the aggressor feel better.
Was hard to watch this invasion, it almost felt personal. I will remember this movie as a wake-up call for boundaries and self-esteem.
