Unfortunately from a psychological perspective it’s because it’s Stockholm syndrome. They are most of the time kind of stuck

unless you’ve been in an abusive relationship, you cannot speak on people in abusive relationships

i’ll never judge these people bc i know what it feels like to be in denial about your abuse. it took me 2 years post separation to feel like myself again and start setting boundaries. please don’t judge a book you’ve never read

i 100% get that its annoying to see ppl do stupid shit. i sometimes genuinely have to block ppl bc those posts get under my skin😭 but ive also been abused & i stayed longer than i shouldve. ppl who have been abused as children or have mental health issues are more likely to end up in abusive relationships

It can also be a sort of “fawning” response, which I learned about recently.

i agree. like it’s hard to leave because they’ve broken you down to believe that this is what you deserve, and that nobody else would want you. they isolate you from your family and friends. it’s hard to leave when you feel you have nothing.

That’s the reason I do understand. Does that make sense?

Curious as to what type of studying you’ve done because Stockholm Syndrome literally isn’t real. It’s a made up condition that was created after some victims of a bank robbery felt sympathetic towards the robbers.

Um it’s not a ‘take’ it’s literally a fact. You can look it up. It’s not in the DSM-5 and it’s not an official medical diagnosis. It was made up to describe the feelings some hostages felt after a robbery.

Just cause it’s not a official doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen and isn’t real. That is such a garbage take

I got a bachelor’s in psychology. Do you have a degree in psychology? Are there not multiple cases of Stockholm syndrome in cults and abusive relationships?
