Now I do hear the criticism that iphones are too expensive and please believe I agree. I've been broke. I've been properly poor. But samsung android poor?!? That's surely coming from a place of spiritual lack. I am too abundant metaphysically speaking for this user experience.

Neanderthal samsung android users abusing me in chat. It's like I'm washed up on the beach with a tribe of stick walking cannibals and I am trying to explain the wheel and fork to the locals. There is a magical phone that doesn't suck I swear.

I am currently stuck using an android samsung until I can get to a city to replace my destroyed iPhone and I just want you to know people who willingly inflict this user nightmare on themselves are wild animals. Beasts. This is shockingly bad. Everything about it is trash. I do not care if the camera is so good it can give you a DIY colonoscopy. Nothing makes this acceptable.

@ZimmerHandcraft 💯 you aren't required to risk your life for their comfort. Don't keep the peace. Be a problem

@luinalaska Bruh. You were hospitalized more than once because this person thinks you're faking your allergies. The first time might be forgivable under some circumstances, every subsequent hospitalization should have been the end of the relationship by way of restraining order.

No you completely remove them from your life and the lives of your children.

@luinalaska Am I supposed to brush it under the rug, even if it kills me? What if they harm my child? Their expectation is to brush it under the rug. I don't view this behavior as loving on their part, and I don't think it would be loving to enable it either. They are sad we don't visit.

@luinalaska People with bipolar disorder can take meds and be normal, people with borderline personality disorder might be prescribed meds but the meds don’t really get rid of their illness. It’s so hard to treat borderline personality disorder and I want nothing to do with it.

Reactive attachment is very different. This is not something I've seen often. Unfortunately it has struck me close to home as it can in families with foster kids in the home. It is devastating. Those kids will destroy your life to meet anything they perceive to be an unmet need.
KB@kinziefur

@luinalaska So is this reactive attachment or bpd?

@SEcomomist @luinalaska I go to therapy to work on my own emotional self-regulation. The single best thing one can do to be an effective parent is to be focused first on having your own emotional needs dealt with, in whatever way works for you, without using your kids as emotional support animals

I refuse to tolerate any of the classic cluster B behaviors in any context and I do not care what you have been diagnosed with, by who, or for how long. I will spend exactly zero of my finite time alive coping with that. Do not behave that way near me. I will immediately bring it up and name it. Being manipulative is unacceptable. I will just agree. Everyone sucks? Yep. Everyone fails you? Yep. Cool. Good. You are saying these things as a bid for reassurance. You are saying these things to make people pick a side in a situation that does not involve us. You are belittling someone to reinforce your own comfort. You are causing chaos to self soothe. If you toss me the social grenade I will pull the pin.
Miss Ravenel's Conversion@OzyShahanshah

Someone with BPD once said that people with BPD shouldn't Google it because all the results sound like they were written by someone who doesn't have, but passionately hates someone with, BPD, and I'm like i think you're maybe taking the wrong lesson from that. (Speaking as someone who had the grave misfortune to date someone with BPD.)

Borderline people don't have a way to conceptualize your choices as anything but cruelty to them. It is pointless to hash this out with them. Stick to the mantra that their approval and understanding is not required.
yot@punished_yot

@luinalaska I was asking more towards them. We have minimized their role in our lives, but it's just frustrating and to be in this position and the other party thinks it's cruel to attempt a reasonable compromise.

@Lauren_Southern Is there a way for me to tell you I am really proud of you without sounding super condescending? I mean this in the best possible way... I am really proud of you.

If its a teenager I find a deep breath, taking a long sip of a hot beverage, and making direct eye contact whilst calmly asking if they've lost their damn mind really makes the point fairly well.

Never and I mean never give a child what they want as a result of these behaviors. I never let a literal child hurt my feelings. If they're young I just ignore it completely. If they are old enough to be made to feel ridiculous for such an amateur display of manipulation tactics I will do so. If I am dealing with a behavior I do not want to see repeated it is my grown adult job to not give them a reason to do it again. That means it can't work. If it works it'll happen again. Kid emotions don't excite me that much. Stay mad. I shan't die.

@luinalaska How do you manage to keep your cool when you have a kid spouting hurt- and guilt- inducing vitriol at you? Asking for a friend who takes things way too much to heart

Lisa Murkowski is the most classic nepo baby. She inherited her job and then hid behind rcv. If Lisa cares about remote and rural communities where is her concern for the marine highway? We have world war two ferries coming every two weeks. Where is Lisa?

@luinalaska Thank you for your insights. Your suggestions show that there are solutions if people really care. Senator Murkowski @lisamurkowski sadly does not.

I name and shame this in my daughter. Nope we aren't getting hysterical and making comments intended to make others feel guilty. No you aren't going to be maladaptive to get a need met. Nope you aren't going to manipulate people with your words to self soothe. Let's just cut it out now because its not cute and no one likes it. Its a learned behavior you will unlearn today babe
