  1. ""While not all fawners find themselves dating sociopaths, my experience illustrates the self-abandonment that happens so seamlessly in this trauma response. it shows the power I believed I held in moments when I was actually in danger. For so long in my life, my desire to help people who were hurting me seemed like my only defense.

    Like many fawners, I couldn't act upon red flags because they were on-ramps to my helpfulness, which was essentially my currency. In the lens and language of trauma, my safety." (123)

    Fawning, by Ingrid Clayton

    I literally have hundreds of quotes copied down from this book. I could use an app that is just popping random quotes from this book at me every day to process and try to internalize.

  12. "It is important to note that you cannot process trauma if you are still in an unsafe, traumatic environment. You need to establish physical safety to be able to work through the emotional impact. Once you are safe, you can start healing by seeking professional support, practicing self-compassion, and prioritizing your well-being."

  17. Thank you @silverhuang for the link! I am looking it up!

    @oisin
    Unfortunately "fawning" is a thing and is not much handled (maybe because nobody is proud).

    What is a bit known is “please and appease”, but it would assume some agency.
    #Fawning is an offer of submission triggered by the recall of a past trauma.
    To attempt safety, you detach from yourself and emotionally connect to your agressor.

    If you've ever apologized to someone who has hurt you, you might have fawned.

  22. CW: Incest silentiation 🧶

    ‘Each person is […] bound by different moral commitments towards the aggressor – depending on the position held and the relationship with one or the other’.

    ‘In the extended family, friendship and professional circles within which incest is reported, some, now adults, have obviously themselves been victims of abuse, others have been or still are abusers. In the vast majority of cases, these incestuous acts, whether suffered or imposed, have not been reported to the courts or made public. These incestuous acts are also known to others, who talk about them, have talked about them or will talk about them in the future. Circles of acquaintance and gossip intersect.’

  27. A quotation from Moliere

    ALCESTE: The more one loves, the more one should object
    To every blemish, every least defect.
    Were I this lady, I would soon get rid
    Of lovers who approved of all I did,
    And by their slack indulgence and applause
    Endorsed my follies and excused my flaws.
     
    [Plus on aime quelqu’un, moins il faut qu’on le flatte ;
    À ne rien pardonner le pur amour éclate ;
    Et je bannirais, moi, tous ces lâches amants
    Que je verrais soumis à tous mes sentiments,
    Et dont, à tous propos, les molles complaisances
    Donneraient de l’encens à mes extravagances.]

    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]

    Le Misanthrope, Act 2, sc. 5 (1666) [tr. Wilbur (1954)]
