attachment/black and white thinking
I can’t help but separate someone as bad and good. I know this might seem normal a couple of times but have you ever been convinced someone is completely evil and is dangerous? I’ve thought that for everyone in my life at least once. It’s already hard for me to control my emotions and to not let it control my life but lately it’s been getting worse and it’s ruining my relationships. I can see someone as completely evil and irredeemable and it doesn’t go away. I am very non-confrontational, and naturally distant. So for me to have these thoughts and feelings and not have an outlet without it ruining my relationships is important. I really want to understand how to fix this and to stop seeing one flaw as an assumption that someone is entirely bad. Sometimes it feels so heavy that I feel like I’m sensing a devil or an angel. I haven’t outwardly said anything yet but it seems to be too frequent. I have tried to cut off contact with my sister and my father because of this. I’m aware that I’m being dramatic but I can’t help it. I try my best to control my emotions when this happens but if I try and view them as neutral, it makes me feel like I’m in constant danger.
I’m sorry for this being so cluttered, my brain is just all over the place and I just wanted to get rid of my thoughts 🥲

you are not alone I use to be less able to speak up or confront people.
I too used to decide a person was evil or unredeemable. I still have a bit of that too, after bad first impression etc. I have discovered many times I was just wrong and would have missed out by cutting people off or not giving them a chance we learn far more from others that challenge us then just interacting with some we have assigned as good.
