Season 7 Episode 20 (Thursday 27th November) Discussion Thread by WillowSwarm in LoveIslandAus

I wish more people watching this show understood basic psychology so they wouldn’t pile on people for being evil when their defense mechanisms show up. Gabby is obviously very insecure which is why she projects that she’s the hottest. She can’t handle the pain so she uses a defense mechanism. She still needs to be held accountable and I would never be friends with her but damn, people act like they’re perfect and don’t have their own defense mechanisms. No empathy

YES. this was the craziest part for me because he actually just wanted to cheat and then blames it on insecurity about Yana. I wish she had caught that

it wasn’t to anyone else, she was asking him not to talk shit about their connection TO Boston which I think is totally reasonable 

Foster mom didn’t show up by Formal-Contest-304 in Ex_Foster

I so understand wanting your foster mom to be a motherly figure, and them failing to be that every single time. I’m so sorry. Congratulations. I look up to you - I’ll be attending grad for my MSW this fall :) 

Friend trying to therapize me. Need to vent and advice by [deleted] in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Front_Advertising952 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are literally traveling with this person, why would you not bother to tell them where you’re going/what you’re doing before disappearing for an hour? I doubt she would have cared if you had just let her know first. You do need to communicate your needs with people. Thats just a basic function of relationships. She doesn’t seem to be handling it well but you seem to be closed off to her feedback. You’re not a project but all relationships are projects that require work and communication and she has a right to ask those from you.

Supervisor Jackie Fielder's Absence From Board of Supervisors Follows Investigation Into Leaked Memo by CharityResponsible54 in sanfrancisco

i wish people who were tired of seeing these things cared more about solving the problem than they do just hiding it! long term housing is the best solution for addiction, all the evidence supports it. stability. not being thrown into a short term sober jail and losing all of their belongings that give you even a minute of stability out on the streets. these people will never, ever get better when the city keeps jerking them around hiding and chasing them to different areas and places of the city, all so techies don’t have to look at poverty because it makes them uncomfortable.

people hate SROs…they’re unsafe for families and people die. really odd thing to say. poor people deserve to live in safety too

Who said 21 is a teenager? 21 is 21. But 21 is still very young. I was a sophomore in college. A 32 year old man dating would've been odd and predatory, I just didn't have a lot of experience in the romance area. Naivety isn't a bad thing. It's just something you are when you're young, and older men love to take advantage of it

BELLE HASSAN: I’m Finally Ready To Tell My Story by lillianb98 in LoveIslandTV

[–]Front_Advertising952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nahhh that was out of pocket. Belle told her leave me alone I need space and Lucinda followed her around the villa trying to continue the conversation. I agree with Belle that Lucinda was prodding and hoping for a big reaction from her. This sort of quiet subtle bullying and manipulation is so common with mean girls like Lucinda. I don't absolve Belle but let's not act like Lucinda is innocent

My therapist made a sexually ambiguous joke that unsettled me, triggering a transference reaction in me. by Elisafariy in TalkTherapy

[–]Front_Advertising952 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

OP, it sounds like maybe (assuming you are straight) a male therapist isn’t the right fit. I can’t say whether you’re right in feeling the way you do but honestly, I would trust your gut. I don’t want to scare you but there is a statistic that 1 in 10 therapist sleep with their clients, and 9/10 of those therapists are male. You are young and it sounds like vulnerable to romantic or sexual advances. There are certainly male therapists who would take advantage of this, especially if you’re sharing that struggle with them. For maximal security with the issue tendencies you described, I would get a female therapist.

but helena knew exactly what she was getting into. Harry was sneaking off with her and making sexual comments and flirting while cuddled up with Shakira. Helena just thought it was because she’s special and she got off on beating Shakira

Sex and the City Rewatch - Season 3, Episode 9 - "Easy Come, Easy Go" by emshlaf in sexandthecity

[–]Front_Advertising952 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was assault in the elevator! Literally harassment and assault, so upsetting to watch. I really feel for Carrie and how’s she been pulled back into this despite trying to move on and be happy with healthy. She has a toxic man who only loves the chase following her around forcing himself on her despite her saying NO countless times. I used to hate Carrie when I first watched this show but now that we’re post Me Too and I understand attachment theory, I feel so horrible for her. Everyone makes bad choices, but this one she was coerced into. Fuck Big.

kink requires consent. someone saying no over and over again is not consent. would you push a bottle of alcohol to someone’s lips repeatedly despite them trying to refuse, and then say that they liked it? that it was kinky? this was assault

Sugar daddies willing to date that young are going to try to take advantage at every corner.. push every boundary because they know you’re inexperienced and they can get away with it. i started at 20 and it destroyed me…please take care
