I don't have anything to contribute to sopranos discourse but my 2yo has a jellycat bunny named tony soprano so I say 'tony soprano' about 500 times a day. do you want tony soprano. let's cuddle tony soprano. tony soprano is under the couch. don't drop tony soprano in the gutter

Posting a picture of a mailman and asking "What is this genre of person called 😭"

Both avoidant and anxious attachment behaviors can be highly destabilizing for the people on the receiving end of them. We just hear a lot more about what avoidants do wrong bc anxious attachers tend to externalize hurt, whereas avoidants tend to internalize it. So an anxious attacher, after an objectively bad relationship with an avoidant, is more likely to take to social media & bash avoidants, whereas an avoidant attacher, after an objectively bad relationship with an anxious attacher, is more likely to retreat & blame themselves for having poor discernment/not behaving self-protectively enough, etc. The externalizing is *in and of itself* an extension of the anxious strategy (keep others close by highlighting vulnerability). The self-berating is a natural extension of the avoidant strategy (avoid embarrassment by ruthlessly self-monitoring). The *way of coping* determines which type we end up hearing more about, not the volume of dysfunction.

reading books by blowhards always has me feeling “do i really have to participate in the self-image maintenance you’re doing here”

My daughter (1yr) gets a bit overwhelmed by the supermarket, so we give her a lime to hold and look at. It's so funny watching a baby calmly examine a lime. I think I'm going to try this strategy for myself too.

just thought i’d pop into the replies to let you know that the personality you’re trying to construct is not one i approve of. why not try for a more inspector gadget sort of vibe
