My dad’s a convicted abuser. Do people hang on to shame because that’s all they have?

    OP Please make the title a question. “thing” isn’t a question.

    @Crunchyrock@lemmy.world I locked the post as you refused to obey rule 2. It will stay locked as long as you don’t change it.

    Unlocked it per request from the owner of this community.

              I mean OP just said “nah” when asked to follow the rules. That would be enough for me to remove the post but then again I’m not the mod

              I hope you don’t, it’s one of those questions that I couldn’t feel more relevant to.

              To answer OP, Zootopia said it best.

              Catch-22’s form when people become stuck in their ways towards each other and are self-fulfilling. This is why standing up for oneself is inferior to sitting down for oneself. I’ve discussed how a previous question of mine can be said to touch upon this, though nobody seems to have understood it. Absolute thinking is the most socially destructive mindset.
