Help is the sunny side of control.
- Ronsenshi 8mo agoInteresting quote and certainly can apply to some people, but this behavior could also be considered as "acts of service" type of "love language". You can take any endearing and genuinely good behavior and make a toxic version out of it.
- inanutshellus 8mo agoHelping people is 100% my love language. My SIL queues up household tasks when I come over. "Hey I got this new thermostat, can you help me put it on?" kinda stuff that she could do herself but she knows that's what makes me feel fulfilled. Point being: GP - calm down bud. ;-)
- ambicapter 8mo agoAn extremely toxic mindset.
- clcaev 8mo agoSomeone who stops at road side, and helps a stranger with a tire iron, likely has no reason other than it just feels the right thing to do; the recipient's smile being the most precious payment they could possibly receive.
- pizzafeelsright 8mo agoI thought about this without instantly rejecting outright. I agree. I am not interested in controlling someone's thoughts or actions and I do not help.
