They are deeply insecure, ashamed, alone, anxious, and afraid. They CANNOT be faced with others confirming their worst fear: that something is deeply and terribly wrong with them. They’re basically emotionally disabled and can’t empathize, work together as a team, or be genuine. They completely lack accountability ir responsibility. In close relationships, they suck the life out of people the most because it makes them feel better about themselves and they choose this tactic in these relationships because that person is least likely to leave them.

Graphical way of searching by a given artist and the results are shown based on who is most similar (closer to center) and who is least similar (farthest from center). Love searching this way.

I’ve also used YouTube to search for a familar artist and then I’ll go through the suggestions to see if I find anything interesting.

Didn’t think about that! Will edit my reply.

Yes, my job has a fairly simple explanation. People who feel bad for whatever reason sit on my couch and I help them feel better.

Edit: I’m a therapist.
