Insisting to spend your attention on exactly 1 (one) significant other.

I can't imagine being monogamous.

Why people use comic sans

Not technically a behavior, but - having hurt feelings over other people expressing their negative opinion about myself.

Like, say someone tells me I look bad of that I acted badly or whatever. I see three options:

  1. They're right, so it's a good thing they told me.
  2. They're mistaken, so it doesn't really matter (though the fact some people might think that way is still valid information)
  3. They're being mean, in which case I don't really care about what they say.

I guess it's some defense mechanism? I can see how that would work with people prone to narcissism, but having ones feeling hurt over things like that seems normalized in (most?) societies.

Oh, also religion. People believe in an all powerful being that personally cares about every person in the world, but is unwilling to reveal itself? Despite having zero corroborating evidence? And he's responsible for every good thing that happens to me therefore I should see that as proof it exists and believe more, but if something bad happens that's because I didn't believe hard enough and should therefore believe more? And you're sure about that and don't see how that might be purely because this answers a psychological and social need? I understand I'm exaggerating a bit, and no offense to religious people, but... I don't get it.

People who stay with abusive partners the first time they are abused

The first time he loses his temper and screams how stupid you are is shocking. And then he apologizes and love-bombs and you write it off as a one-time bad day, confident it won't happen again. The next time when he screams how useless you are, the love bomb and apology are accompanied with a perfectly calm and logical (and apologetic) explanation of how you made him lose his cool and if you just wouldn't X, he wouldn't get so mad..... Eventually when he screams and calls you names, you are the one apologizing and begging forgiveness.....

By the time he actually hits you, you are already convinced that you are the problem and if you just wouldn't make him so mad, he wouldn't lose his cool - and you're so worthless and useless and bad at life that you are lucky he wants you at all and no one else would even give you the time a day......
