@AndreaGuerreroQ Se nota que aquí muchos no entienden la psicología del abuso. La víctima no reacciona hasta después porque en ese momento esta en peligro. Entra en alerta a sobrevivir y para muchas, sobrevivir ese peligro, es no crear mas conflicto.

@paigelaurel It’s because they want to give you a very high quote, then offer you a discount on that if you decide on the spot. They want you both there so they can press on the decision. This happened to me on a bathroom remodel and the salesman was very mad when I still said no.

@ewolsj @nate_postlethwt @themariadelilah Me too. I think it’s because people can tell when you genuinely care.

@JordanFishWife I bet that’s what his family did on road trips. But in reality, the perfect road trip food is sandwiches. Homemade sandwiches 🥪

@tylerguitar_ @alitaylor Me too. I think people are fascinating and I enjoy talking deeply. It’s not a one-sided thing like emotional dumping. I share things and also listen and ask questions. It’s beautiful to connect with people (if they want to).

@andrehenry Same as you’d answer a “how are things?” Or “how are you?”

@not_handler @imandyhaynes You nailed it!

@Stoic_Father True story: in high school my son chose the hardest math track and it was very challenging. Two years later, my daughter’s turn to chose and I didn’t want her to chose the same. My husband spoke up and said, “She should. She can do it”. She got straight A’s too.

@kjoseff @facts_zero @Theholisticpsyc They also hate it because you’re “liked by everyone” and they’re not. But we’re liked at a big cost to ourselves. They are doing whatever they want.

@JJ_Denhollander @DaveEvanHughes Yesterday at my therapist:
Me: I wasn’t allowed to speak about what hurt me. I was told I was responsible for it and to figure out how to avoid it.
My therapist: That’s actually gaslighting.
Me: Really?
*That’s the thing, it’s so psychologically powerful it takes us a while.

@_karenjgonzalez It pierces right through 💔

@cherievann Oh no 🤦🏻‍♀️ but also this is setting off many jokes I want to say, like:
-What time will my 5G start working via my family members?
-Give me a sticker to warn others to stay away from me today.

@l0nele_ I am in Orlando and we should have no fatalities here. We had lots of rain, winds, and parts of the city lost power. The hurricane turned and the eye of it passed just south of us.
