In my defense I’m trying to get out of a reading slump

Apparently Yalom thinks all women’s rooted problems are only because of their shitty/absent fathers

It’s been a very long time since I’ve gotten this attached to a work of fiction, and this mere fact saddens me, because I know how empty inside I will feel once I’m done with these books.

اتعلقت بيها أوي وبأجّل أني أخلصها :(

Honestly I can’t wait to finish this book😂

“The world is ugly, and no one wants to give anyone the benefit of the doubt about anything.”
This is getting boriiiiiiing 🙄🙄🙄

“We have brought into our conception of marriage everything we once used to look for outside—the adoring gaze of romantic love, the mutual abandon of unbridled sex, the perfect balance of freedom and commitment. In such a blissful partnership, why would we ever stray? The evolution of committed relationships has brought us to a place where we believe infidelity shouldn’t happen.”

“My mother raised me to be polite, to be demure. I have long operated under the idea that civility is subservience. But it hasn't gotten me very far, that type of kindness. The world respects people who think they should be running it. I've never understood that, but I'm done fighting it.”

This is too much man

“I’ve observed an interesting connection between my patients’ responses to betrayal and the type of justice they are likely to seek. Some mourn the loss of the connection. “I’m hurt because I lost you.” Others mourn the loss of face. “I can’t believe you made such an idiot of me.” One is a relational injury; the second, a narcissistic one.”
