Carly’s Notes & Highlights

Evil Eye by Etaf Rum

2 highlights

“I feel unsafe in my own body, like it’s trapped me somehow,”

“We can all get overwhelmed by another person’s emotion. That’s known as emotional contagion. But you’ll feel more secure if you set an intention of observing what’s happening, rather than becoming swept up in it.”
― Lindsay C. Gibson, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents

“My mother is a middle-aged woman, a middle-class woman, a woman of moderate intelligence and medium-sized ego and average good luck, so that you would expect her to land somewhere near the middle of the world. Instead she’s over there at the edge. The least vibration could knock her off.”
― Carol Shields, The Stone Diaries

“The US TV network Fox News recently reported on a German couple who attended a fertility clinic because they had failed to have children, only to be told that in order to have a baby, they had to actually have sex first. They thought the stork was enough.”
― Lucy Cooke, The Truth About Animals: Stoned Sloths, Lovelorn Hippos, and Other Tales from the Wild Side of Wildlife

“In dependent enmeshment, the child is maladjusted and the parent plays the role of either rescuer or victim.”
