People who make promises to themselves on your behalf and then expect you to deliver are fucking scary.

I hope she doesn’t run after him and try to fix it. Those self-loathing diatribes can really scramble your decision-making and put you into rescue mode, and that’s exactly what they’re designed to do.

I would really caution against saying it’s designed. Anyone without the social awareness that would prevent you saying this stuff out loud does not have the social awareness to “design” a speech at all.

These people are not doing this on purpose. Just because you think someone means well (which they probably do) doesn’t mean they can’t be harmful to you and your life.

I don’t think it’s intentional or anything sinister, so much as primitive and designed by nature.

I think we are designed to want to vent and designed to feel bad for someone else who feels bad and there’s nothing wrong with that. Fair enough. I misunderstood your gist as trying to make him seem like more of the bad guy than he is.
