As Marshall McLuhan wrote, “The medium is the message.” The thing is not the thing. If someone wants to fight, they will find a reason to, and the more you try to mitigate the problem, the harder they fight.
OMG. I feel you, Dee. This lands about the brick--specifically that when people get triggered into brick consciousness/parts, there is no way the other person's needs are getting met. No amount of logical discussion or expression can make a dent. You automatically become the only adult in the room. So that causes rage. And you can never really Express and get resolution with the person because they will never be able to see where you're coming from. So that puts the rage in a pressure cooker. Tough stuff. 😐
