when speaking with any of them, they'll be the same ice-blocks they've always been. they'll try to make you think that this is in retribution to you being what you are in response to them in contrast to what they tell you about themselves. they arrange contexts around you to try to make you feel like an asshole, and then try to coerce you to become an asshole like them. meanwhile, everywhere you go everything corresponds to you and everyone acts like they know you. they'll make suggestions and try to pressure you in various ways. they put you in double bind situations, expect you to constantly prove yourself to them, and expect you to play by the rules of asserting whatever freedoms they take from you, rather than doing what you wish to do with freedoms you are supposed to already have.
