@saysomethingmichael: This is one of the most important shifts we can make when talking about grooming and exploitation. Vulnerability doesn’t mean weakness. The desire to be noticed, understood, independent, loved, included or valued is human. The concern is when someone identifies one of those needs and begins positioning themselves as the exclusive or conditional source for meeting it. Instead of asking why someone was “so vulnerable,” maybe there’s a better question: What need did the other person recognize before everyone else did? #psychology #humanbehavior #predatorybehavior #awarenessmatters #endexploitation
