A friend of mine suggested I post this to the forum. Someone I know is in an extremely odd situation and she seems to be seeking reassurance that what she is doing isn't odd. But it is; and it makes me uncomfortable to feel as though I am being coerced into pretending that things are normal. When someone tells you bizarre stuff do you just nod and smile and act like everything is normal or do you express your real opinion that what the person is expressing is weird and unhealthy and unpleasant to listen to? For me it is a trigger because when I was growing up I was forced to act as though everything was normal when it wasn't. When it is a random stranger I can smile and nod and go on, but I must put up with this 2-3 days a week.
