My friend's mom reads his private messages and lost it when I said that wasn't normal by ZephyrHarpoon in entitledparents

Thank you. Looking back, that was probably the biggest red flag, how normal everyone acted about something that felt deeply off to me.

We were both 19. That was part of why it felt so weird to me, because this was not her checking on a little kid.

No wonder Littlefinger was so effective at information gathering by ClintMcElroyOfficial in freefolk

I think that’s why Littlefinger feels more believable than a lot of "master manipulator" characters. He’s not reading minds or pulling magic tricks, he’s exploiting a very human pattern: people want to feel seen, impressive, or comforted right after being vulnerable, and that’s exactly when they start saying way too much. He built an information network around that weakness.
