    not in a gross way though. We watched this in psychology today and it was kind of disturbing in its own way.

    Ah, this is great. I like the lesson here, very intuitive.

    If you treat someone like a human, they will become a human. If you treat someone like a monster, they will become a monster. Or lean more in those ways at the least.

    That video was incredibly Freudian. I felt awful watching that. Just, nobody should have that sort of psychological torment and distortion. She's anti-social, most certainly. I'm glad to see there was improvement. She actually smiled and cried, but she won't ever be 100%. It's sad and it makes it hard to watch.

    Watching it, is that all you think to say? Surely there is much more to say than that. That offhand comment irked me, not because you are wrong per se but because you think to say nothing more. When you see a torn individual, you do not think to help mend them - you do not think to empathise with their situation - you only think to call them out on their fucked-upness. That in itself is quite fucked of you.

    She is a product of her environment. It is not the child you should be scolding, but the parent; consequently, you should judge his guardian; you should judge his environment. However, and this is where it gets tricky; who then do you scold? Causes as far as the [human] eye can see. You could damn the child for screwing her younger brother, damn the father for screwing his daughter, damn the father for his upbringing or for his abnormal brain chemistry.

    Or is it possible that a perfectly "normal" human being could commit such that would be considered an atrocity? We cause (affect), we are effected.

    Perhaps I am too hard on you. But you should be aware: that was thoughtless of you.

    That is not what i ment by that comment i should have worded it dufeerenrly, i do empathize with her and i feel bad. When i said she was nessed up i ment tjat she had mental issue that affected her. I probably chose the wirse pissible way ti word that. In phych we were talking about a phychopath vs sociopath. Nature vs nuture if you prefer that better. I am on the side of phychopath. She probaby has somethin wrong with her brain chemistry that makes her think that way. This could be caused by abuse but i don't know. All i ment to say is she has some mental issue that messes with her.
