@HeidiPriebe1 Alas, being human and having self-defenses built into our self-concepts makes it nearly if not entirely impossible to honestly answer a question like the one you suggest: "Would I date someone who behaved just like me in relationships?" --> Of course I would, I'm amazing 😉😂
But also: not even conflict. Relationships of any sort, imo, are about finding people who are tackling problems with their lives that we find interesting, and want to support them on and/or join in on.
6. The most insidious toxic behaviors we have are almost always things we have categorized to be good or even noble behaviors inside our own minds.
These are usually behaviors that were adaptive for us growing up (and so their usefulness was endlessly reinforced) but that are no longer appropriate or reasonable in the realm of adult-to-adult relating.
We are most immune to feedback on these things and are quickest to dismiss or degenerate people who bring their inappropriateness to our attention.
These are also the places where our deepest and most powerful growth opportunities lie.
@HeidiPriebe1 Hbd friend 🎂 look forward to whatever next year has in store 💘
I would LOVE to see you intersect your work more with gender, sexuality, patriarchy, masculinity...
I.e. sign me up for parts 2 thru 100 of your dialogue with @Deezy2_Blessed & @LetsGoCNote years back.
