and is commonly used to tell someone to be quiet

[Silky Silver]

and take the abuse and mistreatment

some of them greedy relatives will do that to you

[Silky Silver]

it's best not to take those words to heart

Practically speaking if we were to follow maths and psychology for 1-on-1 behaviour there could be about 250 different basic types of relationships, so figuring out an interaction on the spot during any social event is rough

[Silky Silver]

feel your feelings

[Silky Silver]

communicate it if you want to

[Silky Silver]

or feel the need to

[Silky Silver]

standing up for yourself is crazy hard

[Silky Silver]

it doesn't always lead to positive outcomes

[Silky Silver]

in fact in my experience it's been more negative than positive

of course relationships aren't limited to what I've listed

Is 250 something you came up with on the spot or is this rooted in some Game Theory resource

[Silky Silver]

but personally

[Silky Silver]

I don't regret doing it

[Silky Silver]

cuz if I don't stand up for myself

[Silky Silver]

no one else will stand up for me

[Silky Silver]

except for that time where the spectators and Aura caused a riot about the recent challenge. man are they awesome.

I haven't studied any high-end psychology so take this with a grain of salt, but if you take what's commonly shared within most popular and accepted theories in human personality traits and cognitive functions, you'll get roughly between either 12 or 20 ways a typical individual will function (which can vary, of course, depending on whether you're meeting someone new or interacting with folks you know on a casual daily basis, or even a deeper relationship, but for the sake of maths, let's keep it simple)

So without caring too much for the details and subtraits, if you take the average, which somehow matches the infamous 16-personality test lol, you'd get an estimate of 16*16=256 ways 2 humans can interact with each other cognitively speaking

[Silky Silver]

at the end of the day

[Silky Silver]

the only person who has to live with us and our choices

[Silky Silver]

is ourselves
