9ahba paradox

Since 9ahba has a "hofra" inside her, and there is a "9ahba" in a "hofra" the "9ahab paradox" is created.

cameron paradox

The act of making someone to laugh at an unfunny joke no matter what
That joke wasn’t funny.

Did you get the joke
Yes I did

Then you would be laughing
But it wasn’t funny

That means you didn’t get the joke
You just put me in a Cameron paradox didn’t you.

"Paradox of the responsible adult":
advocate or companion says exactly same as patient: former listened to, latter barely acknowledged/too articulate to need help or support.

Suddenly begins to feel like invalidated, ignored, infantilised,or spoken-at by professionals - irrespective of needs, urgency, complexity, education, age, or life experience.
Always the same issue with advocacy and experiencing same 'paradox of the responsible adult', no matter how old or educated.
