#or ‘i am asserting my personal autonomy so you don’t think you have unmitigated control over me’
Text
current obsession with stories about power dynamics in interpersonal relationships and the kinds of tactics and leverage people use to navigate them
#a lot of actors and writers will tell you anyway that any scene fundamentally is about two people trying to get what they want#and like there are no universals but i think that’s frequently true#which means that’s true of a lot of interpersonal interactions too#sometimes that want is ‘i want this person to like me’ or ‘i want to help’ etc#or ‘i am asserting my personal autonomy so you don’t think you have unmitigated control over me’#but sometimes it’s ‘i want this person to feel bad’ ‘i want their world to revolve around me’ ‘i want them to do what i want how i want#without the ability to say no’ ‘i am going to back them into a corner so they can never react to anything bad i do to them’#but it’s like what are our bargaining tools in interacting with other people. what are our assurances that someone can’t do us harm#anyway#we need to talk about kevin breaking bad the patient you we have always lived in the castle#real people telling me about their real experiences with exes who leveraged everything they said or did against them#my own life experiences and the lack of agency i feel in my own life#uhhhh saw. gone girl#hannibal of course#etc
