“I can’t live without you” and other loads of crap
“Hi, how are you?”
“I’m ok. As good as can be expected.”
“Really? What’s wrong?”
“Well, I can’t be happy because you’re not with me.”
“Awwwwww. That’s such a load of bullshit. But I hope you feel better soon!”
Haha, that’s how it goes right?
Or is it more like this:
”Oh, that is soooooo sweet. We’ll be together again soon, and then you can be happy again. I’m so glad your happiness depends on me, I finally feel needed. In fact, this could be my life purpose! Making you happy. Thank you for loving me so much that you need me, and therefore make my life complete.”
No more! And this post is not anywhere near what I’m going through at the moment, but I’ve seen a bit of this going around, and I just had to comment.
When I finally clued in to the fact that I am the only one who can make me happy, the world truly began to open itself. I’m no longer a parasite. I don’t require symbiosis to thrive. It’s more like that elephant who’s best friend is a dog. They don’t need each other, and they might not even make sense together, but they sure enjoy spending time together.
hah! that is exactly the thought process… it is nice to see it exposed all b&w like this, cos then it looks a little less intense. Thanks Rose!
Why does this feel a little like emotional blackmail? I can’t be good on my own so you need to drop everything and be with me. Myabe I am over-reacting.
No, I think you’re right on. Being needy and manipulative is not a way to display love.
