Diana grew up brainwashed. Her terroristic tendencies allowed her to cross paths with Brad Litt. Unknowingly he was her next victim and she was to be his emotional martyr. She is always the victim, truly.

Emotional support insomnia

Enjoying the late night instead of sleeping. Staying up much later than is smart or practical in order to claw back a sense of self and autonomy. Anti capitalist insomnia.

My emotional support insomnia kept me up until 4am reading fanfic. I’m so tired but it was totally worth it.

Emotional Breakdown

Oho! Sam Sedar had an emotional breakdown! Damn!

Hym "He had and emotional breakdown thinking about his daughter getting raw-dogged by all the fat-cocks and not being able to hit the undo button. Tragic. The real question is CAN I bang Sam's daughter... For $40 dollars? That is the going rate, I think, but I'll have to check with California. I know inflation is hitting them pretty hard, um... Jewish chicks are USUALLY pretty hot so I might even be willing to pay more than $40 dollars."

Emotional Policing

When someone seems intent on telling you to stop feeling a specific emotion. Usually negativity because you're "bringing everyone's mood down" or something similar. Even when you hide your emotions in public and say one offhand comment about how you really feel,there will most likely be someone there to enact Emotional Policing. You're expected to change yourself despite how you truly feel,despite how many facts you have to back up your emotions (which you shouldn't need because that notion seeks to invalidate emotional response). Emotional Policing is everywhere.

Example one:
Todd: "Yeah,Project 2025 is going to hurt a lot of marginalized people and minorities. I'm worried my friends will die."
Bill: "Oh my god,stop being such a fucking doomer Todd! Just relax,everything will be okay."
Todd: "Oh yeah,I should totally 'just relax' when the people I know are going to be hurt or killed. Fuck you and your Emotional Policing,Bill."

Example two:
Jerry: *Expresses even one negative emotion.*
Tom: "SHUT UP YOU DOOMER PESSIMIST NEGATIVE NANCY DOOMER DOOMER DOOMER! BE HAPPY GODDAMNIT DON'T DRAG DOWN THE MOOD OF EVERYONE AROUND YOU STOP IT"
Jerry: "Fuckin' Emotional Policing.."
