    Sometimes, a reply I hear to me saying “Good Morning” is,
    “What is so good about it?”
    My reply, in the past is, “It’s good I’m alive another day!”
    I get a sense of being tested and steer clear of any sense of seriousness.

    I kept saying to myself while watching that I’m over serious. That said, i think this has been my reaction to being maltreated by my enmeshed narcissistic family system in which i am the scapegoat. My seriousness has been both a form of protection, not buying in to their status quo, and brewing resentment (which I’ve learned is bc i haven’t put boundaries in place).
    Thanks for posting on this topic; this is the first time I’ve come across this-the over serious person.

    I love the title of this video. My experience has been that when I stopped reacting that people did not want anything to do with me. It really shows that enmeshment. This goes from my family to bosses to teachers and friends etc., I think what I am hearing you talk about is detachment. There are some people that no matter what I say they will say the opposite or disagree with me. I really like that you gave many different examples and many different examples of how to respond.

    • @darinsmith2458
      @darinsmith2458 2 года назад +2

      I do also want to say that there are even more subtle ways that people try to get enmeshed. I am still learning how to spot those ways. I think a lot of this gets into boundary issues. I am still in the learning process about when people cross my boundaries. When do I speak up and when do I walk away.

    • @jerrywise
      @jerrywise  2 года назад +3

      Self-differentiation involves being able to possess and identify your own thoughts and feelings and distinguish them from others. This is the best definition that I could find.. I guess this would be the opposite of enmeshment. Weird how ACA does not talk about Detachment.

    My dad is like this in terms of wanting me to take his position. For example, if I mention a dish with something he doesn't believe is okay to eat, like shrimp, he said "Well, you know we don't eat that". And then when I express my point of view, he argues me down until I comply or just walk away. He is never wrong about anything 🙄. However, I know that I need to learn to not participate in arguments.
    By admitting wrong doing in the face of an over serious person, it seems like doing so not only helps calm the situation down, but also validates the other person's feelings.

    Oh man, nailed it! :o It's me, I'm the problem. I thrived in over serious places - first as a firefighter/paramedic then as an R.N. in a trauma center. Serious, intense, extreme, and chaos have been my home base. I've been catching up on your vids and am in the actual course and it's as painful seeing me in the content as it is seeing my family. Losing the comfort of serious has left me with loss as to knowing how to navigate "normal" but I'm not quitting. I'm going to walk through the whole valley. :o Ugh. I'm in the "being crushed by the burden of dysfunction" phase that comes just before you clear all that junk out and find your wings to fly.

    My mom once declared angrily that she was canceling Christmas (because my brother and I had not yet worked out what day would work for all of us - there was no conflict between us). You could do a few more suggestions on how to handle various family drama scenarios; they are they most tricky to manage coming out of dysfunctional families - we have little to no idea how to handle them.

  • @Sophia-hj3ko

    Jerry, I've been 3 decades in church since my youth, trying to extract the understanding how to be a decent human, have decent values and relate to others "the way God wants me to". I thought I found the answers but the life reality continued stirring me inside. Only now, as I study the lectures like your own, I started to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You know, I was looking for someone like yourself to explain it to me. I wanted to talk with an honest person who understands Christianity, psychology, sense of self and seeing through the emotional games people play... Thank you so much, Garry, for giving such valuable insights that we didn't learnt at home.

    • @Sophia-hj3ko
      @Sophia-hj3ko 9 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, I was not only conditioned by the over-serious people but was (is?) over-serious. It's like having some lake of grief near me that I can automatically access to. Even bringing this issue helps to stop and become aware. Did I want others to enmesh? Yes, in my mind it was looking for some close friend to compensate for some human warmth that I didn't have with my dysfunctional family of origin (abandonment at 11 months, indifference, growing up with 5 family members, one at the time until 17). This emotional neglect has formed a big black hole inside and I wanted "to belong" to somewhere. This brought me to an over-serious churches where I was an active member. Today I don't want to belong, to be "real friends" and enmesh. It's going back to where I belong - my own being.

    Hi Jerry, thank you for your videos. I believe I have BPD and abandonment issues. Years ago I met a man who I believe has Asperger's (he masked for a few months so I didnt know) and he is OVER SERIOUS reactive person. A slight "questioning" can send him on the edge. I also noticed his vicious and cruel to me when he feels that his friendships are being threatened. We are not married and I dont plan to marry him anymore. I do have issues leaving him and I really need to. Hes started to send me videos about "anxiety and narcissim" because he believes I am a narcisist for only caring about "my feelings" (in his perception, if I dont agree w/ him, I am evil and bad, and his mind goes into a downward spiral). Can you help me?:(

    What if there is a certain somebody who gets reactive exactly like in yourt anecdotal example on good morning - in the beginning of casual small talks, only more in the silent treatment way, ignoring messages in texting or sort of blacking out when face-to-face? I think I tried everything already, including talking about my feelings when they act this way and leaving them alone - going no contact (not to punish them of course but to give them space) but seems like instead of helping it only provoked the feeling of abandonment in them.
