i think its a good topic - but a very hard one to do - toxic people tend to stay with their points of view because it keeps them "right" and "safe " JMO

often they have been damaged - somtimes by the same behaviours and words that they then heap on others - it can be a sign of a deep insecurity that they have to tear others down so that they seem taller....

I remember reading a long time ago - that if you experienced abuse you either became an abuser or you went out of your way not to be - i think there are a few more shades of grey inbetween those two statements but basically its true - again JMO

I went out of my way to not be like my father - never married - never had kids .... never passed on my "bad blood" now i see after many wasted years that the only one that protected was me - it saved me from interacting wiht the world and being part of it - and that was my main reason for wanting to just STOP everything especially after PTSD was added to my list lol

MDDBPDPTSD has people around that think that their probs can be "fixed" by just positive thinking - well that is part of it - but a whole lot of hard work and therapy has to be done to get past that feeling and back into the light - and i think tht is probably their way of dealing with it - by denying its existance .. JMO (just my opinion)

hugs to all
