“It Was The Most Important Night Of My Life,' He Said Calmly. 'It Enabled Me To Do What I've Always

I spent like two hours in the waiting room reading TSH and like... I love them. All. Bunny, Henry... Richard is so fucking stupid, I love him, too. The twins just spewing out those lies they concocted probably in the dead of night in hushed whispers... Francis just being Francis and his stupid apartment-- but Bunny. I love Henry, I do, but Bunny! He's so... normal. Quirks, sure, but like if my friend wanted me to go on a three day fast for a whim, damn that grilled cheese looking hella tasty, ya feel?

If Cass is the narrator, but it's Naja's story, it got me thinking:

Hm.

A lot of pop psychology gets thrown around and since I already have a headache, here's preventing you lot from making it worse.

Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.

What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.

Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.

What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.

Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.

What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.

Narcissist: Someone afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a traumagenic cluster B disorder, that struggles with self-obsession, paranoia, craving validity from the public, delusions of grandeur, and social disconnection.

It is not: Your rubbish ex that cheated on you.
