Date: 2015-03-23 04:50 pm (UTC)You've mentioned a few times feeling judged by poly people. Where does that come from? What is it that leads you to believe you're being judged? Is it something you internalized somewhere or do you actually see evidence of that happening? What does it look like when it does?
Differentiating between potential and actuality: which are you more likely to see? Which is easier for you?
Also the question I asked you in message: what is it that moves you to look for and desire new connections, historically? Where does the desire to cultivate new connections rather than putting that same energy into cultivating current ones come from? Like, are there certain needs not being met or gaps in current relationships, or do you like the variety and newness of exploring a new connection, or...? I know we've talked about seeking kindred green hearts and heart connections, where in your current relationships do you feel fulfilled around that? Lots of questions, lo siento. :P
While I'm at it, a question I've been wanting to ask you. You've talked a few times about interacting with people who are part of different 'cultures'. I'm curious if you could describe what your culture consists of, like if you were to analyze it anthropologically or sociologically or whatever, what are some of its main attributes? How did it become a part of you? And to what extent do you feel like your current friends are part of that culture?
