There is some information that people need that if it comes from someone who inspires too much confidence it causes cult issues. I understand intellectually that some people seem normal to me that other people are like in what universe is that the case, but in practice I don't or can't differentiate.
I guess I see myself as more normal than other people see me, but I also associated with a lot of people like me who lived a long time and went through many "care" situations before they ran out of them alltogher and it was rough for maybe a century, but they figured out how to do things on their own. There is also a reason why my childhood was prolonged for more than 80 years.
So, I wasn't in the only situation on the planet where all the above was the case but I was in a tiny puddle of this energy cranking out the tadpoles so I needed to have someone carry them to one of the larger projects which was very frightening to do when the Soviets were still around.
Some of my kids are superstars, heads of state even, others are more normal for people like us around the world and some are in groups of other kids that share one or both parents and some are in other projects with people who understand for different reasons. I consider all of them productive and functional even if some need or will always need a lot of guidance for as long as it is possible still they should work on if possible getting self contained like is normal for shamans and stuff.
I also think that there are a lot of odd girls out there who are patient and who can make the donuts on their own time and don't expect anyone at home to lay pipe.
