Why am I so attracted to threads that seem destined to crash and burn? Why do I get involved? Is it human nature or just my nature?"
Getting off on negativity/bs drama. I think it's beyond nature and more related to nurture. It's something we can change if we recognize it's there. When we see it in others we often have the power to redirect it into something better. For me half the battle is realizing that I'm inclined to do it and that is a verrry large componnent of my past drinking behaviors.
