@Vincarsi What you say here resonates with me. The way I was taught to be, including religion, charity, goodwill, etc. didn't prepare me for the real world and put me in a position where I could be exploited, though my Dad was terrified of exploitation (he was abused by clergy plus had polio as a child) so I had a lot of mixed messages that made things very confusing and difficult to figure out. So I was taught fear & in a way it worked. It was just very unhealthy. @CynAq@actuallyautistic
