Pretty sure his therapist has acquired some trauma, too.

"...imagine living a life where someone... just existing causes you trauma".
Republicans live this life.

Quite a lot of people have recently indicated that they do find Taylor Swift's continued existence to cause trauma. A whole segment of the voting population has indicated this.

I'm trying hard to parse the meaning of "a person existing causes trauma". That's a very uncommon definition of trauma!

What an appropriate word.

Aka yikes!

He's been harassing her for years. Ariana Grande too. Check this out as one of the many examples.

Don’t forget the 2006 winner, they’re awful.

It's funny how people don't get that it's not the "good person of the year", it's just the "person of the year".

I don't think that's about Taylor swift being time person of the year.

One year time made "you" the person of the year. I think it was about the rise of social media if I remember correctly.

I think I read something somewhere about this sort of thing happening with movie scripts. The issue is that if somebody sends in the script and anyone in the studio actually looked at the script, and then didn't make a movie based on it the scriptwriter now has all sorts of opportunities to sue the studio if they ever make something that uses so much as a single word used in that script (not literally, but things like broad concepts might be replicated between scripts). Because they could argue they are not being compensated for their work. Even if the studio never even wanted the damn script.

This was a major plot point of the movie Airheads. The record label guy wouldn't accept their demo so they took over a radio station to force it to be played publicly so the record execs would be able to hear it.

This happened with a little kid who sent Steve Jobs some ideas. TV news made a big deal about it (local, probably) because whatever. Oh look, here're some cats in hats on sail boats! Everybody do a dance.

I'm sure the therapist did say something like "think about forgiveness towards Taylor" and he, being delusional, interpreted it as "I need to write my feelings in a song and send it to her so she can finally understand why she caused me pain, and only then, if she responds positively, I'll forgive her."

Any person practiced in forgiveness knows the act doesn't involve the other person at all, and isn't conditionally based on them doing anything.

It is a choice you make internally within yourself, by accepting they have hurt you and choosing not to hold on to the negative feeling of resentment.

Viola Davis is often quoted as saying, "forgiveness is giving up hope that the past could've been different."

He's delusional, truly.

A lot of people think of forgiveness as something that only happens when the "offending" party falls to their knees to repent for their actions. They can't move on with their lives until they receive closure from someone who may not even realize they did anything that requires being forgiven for, and so these people often hold onto their hurt until it festers and becomes an obsession.

Well played
