Oh never mind Zana.
Whenever I see someone w/o bad intentions with the posssibility of being hurt, I sort of come out of nowhere and become defensive...lol. Of course I have my own issues that pertain to my reactions. I don't have the same reaction when someone has perceived bad intentions.
Aside from internet forums, it translates to real life-like when people sit there and do nothing while someone is being picked on. I'll always be the first to stand up for them. Unless I think someone is a sociopath I get kinda scared...And children and animals....I can really sense the hurt and fear in that person, empathisize. I'm generally a laid back person, but can get aggressive and intimidating in real life situations-especailly when people in authority are abusing someone, especially someone weak and vulnerable. I've done this in work settings, where a boss takes out their frustration on a vulnerable employee. However, I think I end up being respected more for that behavior in those situations, bizarre.
It triggers me. Probably because I was abused by people in authority several times. Like one time I was sexually molested/abused by a general practictioner MD at one of those cheap med clinics-when I was 15--the general practitioner pretended to be a gynecologist. I knew something wasn't right, and told my mother about it. She did nothing. So it was to get birth control pills, and I then went to a real gynecologist and saw the difference and put 2 and 2 together...the MD was no 'gynecologist'. My mother was in denial her whole life I think. I wish I had pressed charges against the guy. Well, there's lots more situations and worse than that.
I think the reaction is a lot healthier than the alternative, I can think of worse things that could have happened to me as a result. Instead, I became stronger. This feelings also influenced me to join the military, which was another positive outcome.
While I care, it is also about my own issues. No big deal. It's all good.
Sorry Shasling if I overreacted to your post. Phillipa is having a rough time right now, and her husband isn't being supportive, and I didn't like seeing her get hurt.
