@nick_werber: Something about human psychology that I’m sure has a term but I’m not aware of it... do you know what I’m talking about? It’s about how our empathy for others and basic assumptions we have about human decency and standards actually makes us vulnerable to not seeing very stupid, very obvious forms of deception that we don’t even consider because it’s so far outside of our own standards. And it’s horrible because if you experience this type of manipulation it really shifts the way you see human beings. A sort of social contract / baseline level of decency that you believe humans have is broken by it. And you might feel yourself stuck in the thought that “there has to be more to this…” There has to be a reason… They can’t possibly be this selfish… Is this familiar? #blacksheep #scapegoat #scapegoatchild #generationaltrauma
