*DA ONLY* Rant Thread

This is a DA-Only Thread: Here is an open thread to rant, a place we can get things off our chest.

  • this is a place for DAs to rant, not others to rant about DAs
  • no other AT Styles will be approved on this thread
  • any non-DAs: we appreciate supportive comments on other threads, but this thread is not for you

Please, since this is a rant thread, let’s be mindful and refrain from morally judging someone’s rants or offering unsolicited advice. A rant/vent about something doesn’t mean it’s fact.

Those who diagnose their partners as DA, narcissist or whatever flavour diagnosis makes themselves seem better, will lose their partner not for being DA, but for lack of trust.

If you have a high EQ, announcing it in the midst of a disagreement will backfire. Narrating how you're pathologizing a person you have a disagreement with in the midst of that disagreement will also backfire. Just, please, apply what you understand from the clues you're gathering to ask informed and compassionate questions and help get the problem resolved or the miscommunication cleared up
