Re: What have you recently realized?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not responsible for other people's feelings, even if THEY want me to be responsible for it. Just like other people aren't responsible for the ways I feel about them. If they aren't willing to compromise with me, it's time to take my losses and move on. Not everyone is worth the effort.

In terms of my search for the answers to the questions I had when getting into true crime ("Why do horrific things happen? What makes a killer/abuser do what they do?"), after years and years of consuming and facing my own personal connections to some things...it's about power and control. Not all monsters see themselves as such, they will find excuses to deflect accountability.
A lot of things stem from trauma; childhood trauma and domestic abuse tend to have to do with a lot of these crimes. It's an indication to me that we have huge systemic problems that are continually going unaddressed and we're basically killing ourselves from within.
Because no one wants to talk about CSA, SA, incest, generational trauma, traumas from war, violence in personal relationships, mental abuse/mental health. Gotta monetize trauma or find a villain of the week instead. Gotta make jokes instead because it's easier to laugh and forget about it until it's convenient to get into a moral panic to deflect personal/communal accountability.

I got into true crime to try to understand humanity better. I don't know if I understand it better, but I certainly have a not-positive view of the world and society. I want to have hope for a better world but I don't feel it much. It's a very tough uphill battle.
