Y Do U Hate When People Say "previous Tags"

cmon child safety lid you know it's me

A lot of pop psychology gets thrown around and since I already have a headache, here's preventing you lot from making it worse.

Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.

What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.

Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.

What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.

Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.

What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.

Narcissist: Someone afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a traumagenic cluster B disorder, that struggles with self-obsession, paranoia, craving validity from the public, delusions of grandeur, and social disconnection.

It is not: Your rubbish ex that cheated on you.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

 I planned on having a much more “formal” first post but I just need to share this hilarious moment I just had playing the Sims 3.

 I was playing Sims 3 with a fairy I tried to make to be a formal twink named Foreign Person. This is the second week, I decided to tinker with his laptop to build up the Handiness skill. Just as I told him to stop and upgrade the toilet, he gets shocked and starts a fire.

 With the combined efforts of the probably weirded out butler, that I hired on a whim for this tiny apartment, and Foreign, who just wanted to make a self-cleaning toilet, we put it out. One of the firefighters the butler called arrived and I thought this would be over, ending with me being fined or something.

...

But the Sims 3 had other plans for me. Another fire started.

“weird but this happens right?” I thought.

It is put out. But it comes back again. So I put it out again without the help of that honestly quite rude firefighter. The fire starts back again out of nowhere! Once again the firefighter does nothing but complain about my fire alarm, tell me to “be more careful next time”, and get excited about a fire being present.

This was already something weird and pretty funny, but little did I know, it was barely get started.

Somewhere during the period of 10th through 20th fires, the butler finally triggers the fairy trap that Foreign set up in the shower/bath at 3:00 AM the previous night for him. This probably made that poor man even more confused about this week of employment.

Over the next ~12 in game hours, there had been at LEAST 50-60 fires happening. 

Foreign still wants to upgrade the toilet, he had just managed to get 11% done as I kept deleting the fire with cheats so he could just work. 

The butler just wants to take a bubble bath and leave this fever dream of a job in the dust after his payday. 

The two werewolf firefighters are now practically Foreign’s new roommates.

I have been laughing and giggling to myself for at least 30 minutes. I have finally decided to just save and leave before the fire starts again and restart.

I just wanted to share this tale as I never want to forget this.

dreamy sigh followed by agonized sobbing
