right to comfort as in: I need you to be comfortable around me. My behavior may go against every single one of your values but I have the right to your placid and friendly perpetual good will. Leveling the mildest of criticisms towards me is a hateful and hostile attack. Decentering me or seeking to distance yourself from me is a hateful and hostile attack. I am entitled to close friendly comfortable contact with you. Withholding your approval is violence.
right to comfort as in: l exist in a state of such precariousness that the cultivation and maintenance of my positive image is the only way I gain access to income. criticizing my behavior in any way endangers my survival. If you don’t promise to stay quiet about what I did to you I lose access to that source of support. my safety deserves to be protected by your silence.
