YES i’m soooo naturally introspective/intentional/considerate but i just assumed everyone was the same, so when people treated me poorly i thought they were being intentionally malicious because it didn’t compute for me that someone could just be self-centered and inconsiderate without malice

I’ve come to realize I cannot deal with compartmentalizers. They’re missing so much important stuff. They’re hurting themselves and they’re hurting me.

I am so guilty of this, and it's been a huge lesson for me. Learning to accept people for who they are, even if I find their lack of depth baffling. Also to let people make their own mistakes, because one of those mistakes might be exactly what they need to uncover a new layer of depth for themselves.

I assumed people just need the right sentence, question, phrasing to 'access' it. for some people that door is closed and they don't want to open it. I'm just too much, too intense etc etc.

I think some people had parents that never made them read and they can’t really hold nuance in their cognition. Reading comprehension isnt just about class it gives us the tools to digest meaning and use our imaginative brain

I’m so tired if meeting people who don’t like to think or reflect at all. I need people I can keep for life. I have so much love to give right now but I keep seeing these reflective type of people only online🥹

i always assumed that most people just didn’t want others to meet them as quickly as i allow people to meet me, until i finally realized how many people haven’t even met themselves and that’s why they are closed to others

It kinda scares me how much I relate to your content. I have never heard anyone discuss this life experience we have gone through. It’s wonderful.

and if you stop pouring in your energy you soon realize those "deep" connections you thought you had were one-sided. it's painful to realize

I have done this so much to the point where I would believe they would eventually be the bigger person like me and they’d want to work things out. Boy was I wrong 98% of the time😅

There’s a scene in The Handmaid’s Tale where June asks Commander Lawrence how he can sleep at night knowing he helped create Gilead. And he says something like “how tempting it is to invent a humanity for anyone at all”. I think about it all the time 😞

I thought everyone wants to know Why they laugh a lot or Why they ghost people and all.
Nope! people don't want to know. People want shallow relationships and small talk OMG!!

We both project, the difference is we project depth, they project shallowness

Oh it took A LOT of therapy to not expect from others what I would do for them and instead put myself first.

Work is the greatest emotional escape for people. It looks so noble and responsible. Some people will never face their flaws, THEMSELVES. They just keep on being busy with work, hobbies and friends.
Sitting in quiet and reflection is something they avoid as all the unanswered questions surface. Rather than facing it and pondering matters and their role in it, they just keep on running to avoid it....Often when I see a compulsively busy person- work, friends, hobbies- there is trauma being avoided.

We project our depth onto others, while they project their wounds onto us. Projection nonetheless. A person is only ever in a relationship with themselves, unknowingly. This is why presence and embodiment matters, this where you start to recognize whether there is actual reciprocity or simply misplaced hope.

Totally agree with this! This is also indeed “projection”. It can be damaging and hurtful to us as it assumes good progressive/growth motives when those qualities simply do not exist in that person. It’s delusional and deeply painful when we realize it was a fantasy.

I desperately wish I could be a compartmentalizer 🥲 because what you said about reflecting making you depressed is so relatable

I was like that few years back but after several misunderstandings I started to observe and listen more and mirror their energy and just pick the one’s who match my level of energy and experiences
