What we really want is often hindered by “I can’t get/have it.”
*****
So we focus on other things that are “not right.”
We fixate on all the wrongs,
As a way of surviving a world where “what I want is not possible.”
We blame, we martyr, we loathe.
And we take all those other things,
And make them part of our identity.
*****
If we can’t get what we want,
Then we react to it,
Often in an angry or forceful or violent way.
We try to gain agency any way we can.
*****
Assholism generally comes from feeling thwarted.
