I’ve recently become incredibly smitten with someone who is locked in an abusive relationship. I’ve never encountered this before, so I’m learning constantly now how common it is, in both men and women, and how it creeps in slowly…because sociopaths gotta sociopath.
In researching this, I found this piece from pop-psych mag Psychology Today that was amazing, and I’ve read it over and over again…referred it to my friend and she said “that was my life wrapped up in one article”.
I’m learning that abuse isn’t a victim problem, it’s what happens when normal people don’t know that there are sociopaths in the world. So they get ensnared slowly, thinking they are working hard to manage normal relationships in normal ways. They don’t realize they’re with people who are not healthy but have been struggling to appear as healthy their whole lives.
Yes, for the Bitcoiners reading this we realize that ALL of us are in an abusive relationship. We, and I, get this. But it hits home to experience this much closer to my home and to heart.
Recognizing the sociopath personality is absolutely, 100% key to awakening in our modern world. They are small, but they are legion, and totally in control because naturally they seek control…where normal people don’t want to. Bitcoiners get this. There’s a reason most of Congress in the US is over 70…they have no interest in retiring and spending time with loved ones. They don’t understand loved ones, or people. They only understand control. It’s so unhealthy.
Bitcoin has vastly helped me understand how to be strong and sensitive and patient with a woman I’m whooped by. (And things are going forward in a very amazing way, just to say).
So: if this post speaks to or is relevant to anyone else out there right now, this article packs a lot of info into a very easy-to-read format:
