This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Related: I know that incest is currently a popular fetish, but I discovered a long time ago that if a girl looks too much like my sister its an immediate turn-off. It did take me a little while to connect why I found so many models, who seemed to be popular, so unattractive.
I don't think I've ever meet anyone who looks like mom, so that hasn't been an issue. My wife resembles no-one in my family.
Freud claimed all men want to marry their mothers. I haven't found this to be commonly true, and now I don't trust "daddy issues" being common, either.
It's not, the Oedipal complex is a correlation. The "marrying one's parent" phenomenon most certainly has a psychological causality somewhere, but it's certainly not due to a generally applicable Oedipal complex.
A concrete example, the only relatively comparable thing I've had to deal with was tending to select romantic partners based on how familiar my dynamics with them were to me. Having lived in an unhealthy familial environment and with relatively few childhood friends, the only familiar I had was belligerent and punitive. Otherwise, none of my parents, or even from my extended family, are my type. I'm saying this in a literal sense. And this is against a constant, solid background of "like...no, they're family."
I love Lemmy. It's a place where you can post a comment and not know if you're going to get a vitriolic anarchist taking exception to how you said something, or a detailed, clinical clarification of a point.
On Reddit, you get only the first thing. I live for the second.
