@TheDCSentinel Fucked if you do, fucked if you don’t. Yes, this points out she still uses a capital driven resource. Yes, she’s asking for help because capitalism evades supporting essential social services. The answer is BOTH - it’s only a “gotcha” if you don’t see the whole picture…
I can't get over the fact that Ted Cruz yelled at Montana airport employees "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" and they had to call the cops on him because he was so pissed that he was missing his flight back to DC to ask Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson if babies are racist
I don’t remember republicans like @LindseyGrahamSC giving a flying f*ck about “faith” when Donald Trump was banging a porn star while his wife was pregnant …
“Can I walk you out?”.. “No.” I wish I had that boldness in my life.. like when my wife has cleaned 99.9% of the dishes and when she’s washing that last cup I ask, “Can I help you with the dishes?” #TheBachelorABC
This episode was a case study on how anger and impulse manifests from shame. Clayton knew he fucked up and redirected his frustration with himself onto Susie.. it’s ugly, but thats how sensitive egos, unaware of itself, exercise self preservation. #Bachelor#BachelorABC
@Sith__Lordy @marauderjoe@whatasheila I hear that. I am just sharing the perspective that his side step and diverting attention to her precipitated her own self doubt. But we have to be careful not to blame someone else every time we have self doubt. Not all self doubt comes from gaslighting.
@marauderjoe @Sith__Lordy @whatasheila I have no issue with her expectation. I’m simply describing the phenomenon of gaslighting and in my opinion, Clayton was not gaslighting. Susie took the bait and allowed Clayton to shift the focus onto what he believed to be her unrealistic expectation. Her self doubt followed.
@DalyPolitics This. Is. Not. Gaslighting. Gaslight occurs when some makes you question your conception of reality as a form of psychological manipulation. Clayton diverted negative attention from himself onto Susie. Not gaslighting.
@hannahgd1231 Regardless of whether or not Susie expressed her expectations prior, Clayton’s response was problematic and relationally unhealthy. He got in hot water cause he told three women he loved them and slept with two of them. Then he got defensive when it was pointed out.
@KLyman67 People with fragile egos are not able to hear constructive criticism because their self concept is too fragile. If your self concept is built on exclusively affirmative expressions from others then you’ll get defensive every time someone criticizes you.
@embrosha That is not what he did. He diverted negative attention from himself (because he got caught wanting his cake and eating it to) and spotlighted his ostensible from frustration with her previously unexpressed expectation of not wanting him to sleep with everyone.
@embrosha It. Was. Not. Gaslighting. One person used this term, now everyone is using it. Gaslighting is making someone question their conception of reality as a form of psychological manipulation.
@BrooklynMama2@GeasyTwo_Times What he did was messed up! But let’s be real.. none of these women would have been into him if they met organically in the wild.. but since it’s a filmed competition with social status on the line, they become more entranced by the idea of him
