A male tendency towards self-deprecation as a coping mechanism for other unfulfilled needs, mostly emotional and social needs. “I want a girl that’ll kill me” because we’re lonely, so the thought of a woman who’s affection is ‘so great that it spills into possessive violence’ becomes idealized into a promising fantasy.
Affection wasn’t something I was used to at the time and I tried to explain that to her but she thought I was making excuses. I just became used to the idea of being a tool because people hammered the idea in over and over to the point I just rationalized negative treatment as effort. I think I assumed that being that thing for people to mistreat would be the equivalent of taking one for the team or something. I don’t even know anymore its just the only thing I expect from people
I mean it’s something that I’m okay with like I never knew the alternative so this is ehat I’m familiar and comfortable with but I think that’s why i prefer it more than what people usually like like I don’t understand why another person would love the other if its just another person that they interact with more than others
