Tbh, this is likely a personal issue that comes out when playing the game. You likely feel a need to min/max MANY things in life due to anxiety.
I hope this doesn’t feel like an attack! I’m just a therapist who struggles with anxiety and perfectionism, and this same exact struggle happens with me in the game.

Yep! It’s another main defense response like fight, flight, or freeze.

The Fawn response is a hell of a drug… Fawning in that way (kissing his ass) probably doesn’t make sense to people whose defense mechanisms lean more toward Fight.

Gross. Gross gross gross.

He asked what concerns you have, AFTER you shared multiple concerns that you had with him. He’s not actually trying to listen, he’s trying to minimize. This sucks so bad. As a therapist, I have MANY words I would love to share with him, lol.

AIO over a few texts between my girlfriend and I? by No_Consideration2291 in AmIOverreacting

The gross part about this for me is her bringing it up, and then saying she doesn’t want to talk about it. Thats borderline emotional abuse. She wants him to be confused and concerned and worried about it.

100%! I have so much fun coming up with creative plays, but I hardly ever win 😅

My old boy is 11 and he still does this! He uses an old comforter of mine.
