SW is way too enabling sometimes

Someone could post about murdering someone and you'll have comments like "it's ok bbgorl, you didn't mean it. You're a good person and anyone who can't see that is dead to us anyway💙"

Like come on, now. This isn't being kind lmao

I feel some folks grew up in environments where being helpful kept the peace...

As adults, they try to fix or soothe everyone, even strangers. It’s almost automatic.

🤷🏻‍♀
@Punxi oh I totally get and understand the why's, it's a good place for support when needed but there's a fine line between support and enabling. It can turn a healthy place to unhealthy in seconds even with good intentions

@HijabaDabbaDoo True that.... although round here intentions are not always good.

Just attempting a bright side initially I suppose.

Hugbox environments can actually be a problem as sometimes people need to be told to fucking knock it off so you don't endlessly enable maladaptive behaviour. It's just how do you do that with someone in distress as well, right.

@CountScrofula @HijabaDabbaDoo I mean, there's nothing wrong with telling someone that their actions are messed up. There's not even anything wrong with telling them they have a behavior pattern to look at. Seriously, calling someone's behavior toxic is not the same thing as calling the person toxic, and if they take it that way, they weren't going to change, anyway.

The well-being of average folks outweighs the doting on of unreasonable people.

Someone did this to me in the funniest way possible once and I still do not know how to respond.

That said, I'm not going to stop murdering people, y'all can't make me live a boring life like that.

I know, right? Sometimes the best thing you can tell someone is, "Your behavior was inappropriate and unacceptable."
I just joke about the possibility of it. Well not murdering. Not really. More helping to..ok. nevermind

@Bexsy We found a finger on the perimeter pointing towards you.

Sister Mary Anaura would have much to say about this matter.

Oh so now I’m an enabler now!? 🙄

The perks of bean a woman 🙄
@SinlessOnslaught you say that like men aren't committing most of the murders
@HijabaDabbaDoo We're held accountable for what we do. I mean, murder is pretty much a no-go for everyone.

But posting about interpersonal stuff online it's like people always stick up for the one with tits.

I'm messing with you anyway and didn't mean to change the subject. Your OP tracks, for real.

@AbsolutelyFabulous I mean that's not really where I was going with this. Murder and trans people don't really belong in the same category
@HijabaDabbaDoo that's NOT what I meant...
