A question about the email regarding the emotional manipulator: I know the term is not a clinical term but I have experienced emotional manipulation in pretty much all of my intimate relationships and I have likely done some myself. I was dx with BPD and autism, and 2 of my exes were abusive. Ou offered 2 reasons (psychopathy and falling out of love) but I'm wondering if emotional manipulation is just a part if human nature and if everyone does it to a degree. I don't feel like my exes were psychopaths, nor do I feel like I am, and we never "fell out of love" with each other, the dysfunction just became to much to bear (on my part) and that why I left both times and my exes pursued me for months afterwards both times. There must be more reason for emotional manipulation besides psychopathy and falling out of love. Your thoughts?

You know what's worse than bears? Mosquitoes. That said, I avoided going where the bears might lurk for the better part of my life. I'm currently on a metaphoric hiking trip, though... no bears so far... ❤️ And the best part is the flexibility that automatically comes with becoming more securely attached and "taking the risks". It's such a liberating feeling to find ways to get one's needs met even if things don't go exactly the way you wanted, or maybe not at all the way you wanted!
