#compersion — Public Fediverse posts

The etymology of compersion inculdes a reference to a Ouija board. 😂

(This is oddly narratively satisfying.)

#Polyam #Compersion #Etymology #Language

Si j'avais été gladiateur j'aurais été genre rétiaire ... À cause du filet, de l'asymétrie, de l'esquive et du rapport au prolétariat

Mais l'idée même de faire mal à qqun-e autre m'est aussi pénible, à peu près, que d'être blessé moi-même. Ça me semble dingue que des humains aient pu faire ça. Soient encore attirés, fascinés par ça. Aient encore des modes de pensée cousins, dans la #guerre ou même dans la #lutte (tout nécessaires que soient les rapports de force)

"Don't you ever feel lonely and jealous when your partner's out on a date and you're not?"

Haha, oh, my sweet summer child.

You underestimate what a treat it is to spend a night by myself, eating pizza bagels & watching Studio Ghibli, with absolutely no need to entertain anyone else.

Don't get me wrong -- I love my partners! But I love them a heck of a lot more when I get to be away from them sometimes.

Society expects us to live in each others' pockets, and to spend very little time alone. But for an introvert like me? Time all by myself, unobserved and unaccompanied, is an absolute necessity.

I love knowing that my more-extroverted partner is out getting their social needs met, while I'm having my delightful goblin-time.

My partner had minor #surgery today and for me this was one of the more difficult experiences of being #poly. Sharing the privilege of caring for my partner, bringing her, fetching her, looking after her when she's back home, was hard. Seeing her being close with others or knowing that she shares intimacy with others was always a source of joy for me (#compersion ). Letting others in the #polycule have their moment in caring for her, was work. #polyamory #relationships

"Why Open Relationships Are A Bad Idea — No Matter How Good They Sound"

I skimmed the article. The argument is mostly like this:

"I cannot generate compersion. Therefore, opening up a relationship would be torture for me, and thus, no one else can do it. Kthxbai!"

I'm far too fascinated with far too many topics. I've compiled an exhaustive list of hashtags for some of those interests; I'll try to do better about keeping it current and updated.

Asking on behalf of a friend who's not on Mastodon (this seems like a safe space):

"Asking for advice: any nonmonogamists out there who could give me (I'm demi, my life partner is pan) advice and resources? Partner is exploring, I'm not."
