The social network phenomenon
sKePTiKal:
Yes, there is that, FW...
I'm not going to go back to living under a rock, just because there might be an N in my next social event. In fact, I know there are Ns and I'm going anyway. I'm not giving Ns the wiggle-room to affect me... when I can. I have no other interactions with these people, than social...
which is a big difference from the impact my brother can have on me, when he flips into irrational passive-aggressiveness. There are degrees... people I can ignore... people I dare not ignore, but don't have to cater to and always have to protect my own best interests, when they're loony.

Yes PR. There will be at least one unstable and potentially N (or other disordered) person at my next social event. I intend to watch their effect on their adult child, the partners, the relatives and watch how the whole thing interacts and inter-interacts! And I might even take time out to watch my reactions :lol:. Yeah, when the nuts affect our kids, that's when we need to see things clearly because it's not easy. As for semi-Foo events and effects, I'm probably backing out of all of it. I don't need that kind of evil/stupidity in my life. Who does?
Hopalong:
Huh! thought I posted this, but...
Just occurred to me that maybe WE'RE a social network.
Sorta.
Son of a gun.
Hops
Guest:
Reckon we are sorta Hops :D
sKePTiKal:
Yes, the quality of people and the safety and respect for each other... here in THIS social network... is way different than the wide open free for all of say... facebook... unless one deliberately limits one's participation. Which, now that I think of it, is a good boundary exercise...
