I've talked with several who seem okay for a while, then show me how far they are from sanity. I don't block them, but I have to stop responding. I can't get drawn into their craziness.
@Blodyn People do what's normal for themselves. Normal doesn't mean natural. Everyone leaves their natural self to deal with all the unnatural things going on in this world as a form of protection. Recognizing where you're out of alignment with yourself is a sign of health. You're not wrong in talking about other people. You've done no harm. It's just an indicator of what direction you might want to go from here. This isn't an easy world to navigate, especially these days. Don't be hard on yourself. I think you're doing fine.
