@jens (and here I shall stop my rescuer tendencies triggering me 😄 - unless prompted/asked)

@jens The whole thread is good, thanks for it. I react here (though I was triggered several times already):

Here’s a proper psych theory about the dynamics you describe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpman_drama_triangle

Keywords: Karpman drama triangle, co-dependency, emotional abuse

There is a way out of the triangle and it is by refusing to participate in the dynamics. I experienced it as an “escape through the centre” of the triangle. There are smart articles and youtube videos on this just a google search away.

@jwildeboer Well, fears here and there, what evidence (except your own fear) do you see?

@jwildeboer Anyway, to operate from a position of fear is useless. Let me cheer you up with a recent one in a follow-up toot 🙂 .

@jwildeboer Don’t you recognise for one, that thanks to COVID-19 pandemic and now the war in Ukraine EU acts gradually more and more decisively and coherently together? I cheer for that and applaud it! That’s exactly what I wanted it to to and it responded.
