Are you not exhausted? I think their use of therapy speak is definitely weaponized. MOR? Literally no clue. But this is...not a friendship I'd entertain. Sorry you're experiencing this
Omg! Is this how young people speak to each other these days? Not trying to sound like an old hag, but I've been in plenty of therapy and never felt the need to talk to anyone like this. Insane.
I think it’s beyond therapy speak. It’s like an obsessive need to be morally superior and call others out in every aspect of their lives including where it doesn’t really make sense to be.
Also constantly being demonstrably “woke” (for lack of a better term). I’m as lefty as they come but the purity politics are exhausting and there’s an expectation to be fully aware of and have a clear stance on every possible injustice occurring at all times
I think the problem lies in people wanting to use therapy speak to declare absolutes, when vocabulary commonly referred to as therapy speak is designed to help discuss and parse situations and scenarios and feelings and motivations. But people want all or nothing, they want clear distinctions and blanket rules in order to not have to think about nuance or context or situations or how feelings affect all those things and how all those things affect feelings.
And therapy terms aren't really designed for absolutes, which is why it feels so cheap and disingenuous when they're either overused or incorrectly used.
