Okay having thoughts and sorry I scream them out better here. Something about screaming into the Tumblr void helps me process somehow.
I wonder how much of my fixation on low-key dark fiction is like...rooted in just how much of my life is just...neglect. Like, I've met so many people with like shitty parents but I've also heard so much sentiment of like "but I know they love me, though". And like. I have never believed that. I spent my childhood knowing that my mother would absolutely love to not have to deal with me ever again. The only reason she is actually helping me physically now is because A. I learned how to shut the fuck up and B. Religious obligation telling her she has to love me because I'm family. But like- if I just disappeared? I've always known she'd be genuinely relieved, after the shock wore off. She barely wanted my siblings- she definitely has never wanted me. And my siblings can function. I don't even know everything that's wrong with me.
So like- feeling like that, knowing I have never really been wanted by even family like...is that the appeal? Is that why my brain is wired this way? The idea of someone wanting you enough to technically be willing to do fucked up shit because of it has literally been appealing to me for as long as I can remember, to be honest, and I've just kinda embraced that, but I'm starting to realize it may be because like, yeah, I've never felt really wanted by anyone- even people I've been with. Hell, it's what I broke up with my ex over because he was the worst offender of making me feel unwanted since my mom. So what- my brain is just hardwired to like...crave overcompensation of that? Never felt desired so the hottest concept is someone wanting me so badly they need to own me?
Anyway. Idk. A part of me feels like I still need to delve into the physcology of kinks to benefit myself in therapy but at the same time like, what am I hoping to accomplish by digging into it anyway? Using logic to get rid of it all? Cause like, I know enough to know that that's not how it works. I've talked about it enough to know that's not how it works. So literally what's the point?
Anyway. If you read this don't judge me too hard. I'm already in therapy, that's kinda the best I can do.
