January 21, 2026 at 5:46 pm in reply to: The phenomenon of “helping someone excessively can make them turn against you” #454399
anitaParticipantI wish I could read more from you, about the marriage you didn’t mention in your last update..???
anitaParticipantI would very much like to read from you again, Ana..?
anitaParticipantBogart and I are thinking about you, Nichole.. well, at least I am. How are you???
anitaParticipantHow are you, Bea???
anitaParticipantHow are you Renn, and how is your friend?
anitaParticipantHow are you,Kane. I would like to read more about the progress you’ve been making, quite impressive given π your young age.
anitaParticipantThinking about you, Miss L Dutchess, 2 months and 2 days since you posted last.
anitaParticipantThinking of you, Laven.
anitaParticipantHey Confused:
First, I’m glad you had a therapy session today. Second, what you realized and what she said today make sense to me.
It’s a shame when we interpret love as Pressure and Responsibility (P&R) instead of as calm and being carefree.
I think it’s about how love was introduced to us as children: something to earn or something freely given because we’re just, well, unquestionably lovable π
“Also, she told me that to her it seems like I have feelings from a ‘distance’ and when the other person comes too close, I don’t feel them.”- hmm. This is what I expressed to you.
Because too close means P&R?

anitaParticipantIt just occurred to me, Confused, that not knowing what AA or taproom mean, you may not be familiar with the.. alcohol culture, which is a very good π thing because of the so very many deaths and injuries due to alcohol Β²intoxication (traffic accidents, falls, etc.).
So, of course, I will never recommend drinking alcohol.
Another thing that occurred to me this morning π is that consulting AI, the way to support a person who is Confused and Overthinking, Ruminating- is NOT by analyzing the person, asI have done, triggering even more (paralyzing) overthinking, but to simply be a Consistent and Calm support source who will validate your feelings and offer you a safe, no-pressure space to express yourself- to offer you a space where you don’t have to think or feel any particular way, a place where how you think and feel is acceptable and valid.
A place where you feel no pressure to take any action. To just be where you’re at.

anitaParticipantHey Confused:
Local taproom is where people come together for company and alcohol, alcohol not being heavy duty alcohol drinks like whiskey, vodka and whatnot, but relatively low alcohol drinks: beer, cider and wine (I drink red wine).
“Chaotic house”, you wrote in regard the house where you grew up- that’s where Confusion can be replaced with Clarity as you look back and .. Well, the answers are there, in looking back and understanding now what we didn’t understand back then.

anitaParticipantHey Confused:
I think I’m about to leave to the local taproom (AA by the way, stands for Alcoholics Anonymous). I am sorry you feel depressed, depleted and empty. I ask you questions when I do, and I try to understand because whenever I understood myself better, the reasons behind my behaviors.. whenever I undid my own confusion here and there, I felt better.
By the way, I wanted to ask you: you mentioned that you are disorganized attached. What caused this attachment for you?
(If I’m out, I’ll be back in a few hours).

anitaParticipantHello Q:
So good to read from you π Thank you for your wishes for me π. I am looking forward to reading about the things that transpired when you get the chance to write π
π€ Anita
anitaParticipantDear Sonia:
You are very welcome! Setting boundaries, like you said, is good for you even though it doesn’t feel good. It’s good for other people too, that you set healthy boundaries because it makes you healthier, and healthier, you are better able to help people where and when you can.
I am glad you decided to post. You are a good, caring person π and I wish to read more from you in this thread, in a new thread or in others’ threads.
π€ Anita
