Broken People

Little Type Amy's picture

Been saving some FB post and reels mainly self help stuff advising on setting boundaries with toxic narcissitic folks. I guess social media is good for something. 

The bottom line is clear across the board: We are all dealing with some majorly F@#$ed up People and its not our job to heal them.

One takeway is that some people ( like the majority of our skids and also the BM's) dont really want to heal. They just want Attention.Mainly  because they love the kind of attention that just Staying Broken  brings them. Thats why they wont fully committ to doing the work they need to do the help themselves get out of any situations or mess they are in. Thats why  they are full of excuses , full of reasons why they cant mange to level up in their life. They really dont want to step it up.  Thats also why they look to the easy way out of everything instead, so nothing changes. Its just easier for them to stay broken and pitiful. expecting others to be their supply and do that work for them. 

I tell you what Im still going to do: Just leaving SD and her clan right over there with their broken selves.Why? Because thats a decison that she is making and has decided thats the life she is settling for.. Im OK with just leaving her to it. Hope it works out for her. Im just going to keep moving happlily along with my own business 

There is a difference between people who really want to better themselves  and attention seekers. ( which is hard to believe when SD really has "grown" as much as she says while she  is just too busy focusing on all the wrong things, namely laser focused on suddenly thinking im going to be the one to do that for her) People like her just want us to make them feel comfortable in the mess that they are in that they created, They dont want you say nothing, but not me, Im not afraid to say shit anymore. Im just going to walk off and keep moving! Peace out!

'The great time is over.  All they have to do is hurt the SO  so there parents will get back to together and have a remarriage at Disney World.  '
You will never win.

Something that we all tend to do is fail to remember that our own SOs are responsible at least in part for all of the crap.  They are not blameless and sometimes they are highly responsible for the crap.

I get that failed family progeny are CODs and they think that they are hurt.  Even if they are hurt and upset by mommy and daddy moving on from each other, they do not have the right to hurt others.  Pain that is a symptom of life events and not targeted malice to actually cause them pain is bullshit and it is the hurt fee fee little failed family kidlets (regardless of age) that are willfully trying to cause others pain with malice.

Ignoring the crap fixes nothing.  So .... SAY IT!!!  Call them all out instantly when they pull their crap.

Make their presence in your life contingent on them knocking their crap off. The only way to ensure that happens is to keep the spotlight on the crap and forcing them to either scurry for the dark corners like cockroaches do when a light is thrown on in a dark roach filled room or they fix their crap.  Tolerate nothing less than them being gone or behaving reasonably.

Your goal has to be living your best life and tolerate nothing that detracts from that.

...our SO definitely plays a part when they allow bad behavior and do not take a stand against it. 

I have learned that DH often learns indirectly, Yesterday we were discussing 'Disney Dads' and how this can contribute to spoiled rotten kids, and dysfunctional rotten adults. He brought up OSD.... Thank goodness, I think he's got it!
