It's interesting how autistic communication is clear, direct and honest instead of indirect, passive-aggressive and filled with mind games like we are taught through pragmatics in hierarchical societies, yet, they are the ones told to have a communication problem
@coreC..2 ай бұрын
bingo.. (EDIT) And i'm from the Netherlands.. usually the dutch are very direct. But anyway, triangulation does occur just the same. It's done by the people who are not so direct and honest ;-)

Its cuz the normal is the latter and “normal”is decided by whats more common rather than what is more logical or optimal….also I think that's why when people from certain countries travel to others such as the uk or America they “seem” autsitic because their communication is more direct and clear

Or maybe they're better at seeing how people are bad at communicating in general or the nuances? That's how my partner feels who was diagnosed aspergers as a child. But you know what's confronting as a person? Having communication issues with ASD people because they are telling you that Ur mind works in the ways you mention, therefore you don't understand. Feeling like you're not taken seriously as a person cause they see you as NT, then they treat you with more respect when they suspect you're also ASD but have a diagnosis of ADHD. Like I'd like to think that most people have these traits that I thought were being a decent human but asd people say that NT people are shady, in a nutshell. I don't think ASD communication and neurotype is a problem, just different and a very important part of humanity and what makes up society.

Please, would you consider talking about friendship jealousy at some point? When you have a partner and her best friend is very needy so they spend a lot of time together and that makes you jealous, because you also enjoy spending time with your partner (there is no fear of cheating etc.) Or when you have a great friend, then they get a partner and they are so in love with their new partner, that all they talk about is that partner and it's often their first priority... I would love your insight and take on those (inner) issues.

@@AnaPsychology I can help you with an example of triangulation at work, since it happened to me: **Scenario - female covert narc boss joins my new team and is trying to turn them against me** *Me in the team chat posting a team event* *Female covert narc boss sends private message to me* Female covert narc boss: Do you mind moving your event to another time? *Female covert narc boss sends private message to my product manager* Female covert narc boss: I just messaged OP and she didn't reply Product manager: I can't believe she didn't reply! Female covert narc boss: It's a big day and we have a lot to do Product manager: I agree - should I say in the team chat that some people can do this event and others can focus on something else? Female covert narc boss: Sounds good Product manager: I was talking to the other PMs about OP actually Product manager: Just about there's a different line between allowing someone to have different treatment due to their disability, but also being responsible N.B. Before my female covert boss came to my team, my product manager was praising me for working lots of unpaid overtime Female covert narc boss: Yeah I'm really struggling with her - I don't know how to get her to be productive Product manager: For the team too Female covert narc boss: I am catching up with her line manager one more time before he leaves - maybe I can help Product manager: Yeah, the other PMs have suggested sending an email, so it's more formal, so I'm thinking of a nice way to do that Female covert narc boss: Happy to help if you want - it's definitely good to get these things documented. This is not public knowledge but while I was on holiday and another manager was in charge, she complained about a couple of people in the team and said not very nice things to them. Which I am hoping she won't do again. But I am a little worried. N.B. Not true - I complained about a disrespectful male colleague while she was in charge. She then created a hostile environment, which led to my other colleagues mobbing me and then making fun of my disability and I defended myself.

My high school teacher became my supervisor as an adult… he isolated, groomed and triangulated me amongst a lot of people I worked with. He did it to everyone that worked in his office. However, when I quit that toxic work environment, he ran a smear campaign against me and triangulated an old high school friend against me. She started posting messages with him and things related to what he was claiming against me-trying to make a point. He was already removed from my life, but I removed her as well. It took me a couple of months to accept that if she can easily be manipulated and not question things, then she’s not someone I need to keep contact with.

i was triangulated once in my past relationship- would even go to say that this is when issues started to arise. ny ex bf’s best friend (she is a girl, and i’m a girl) would make snarky remarks about me or wouldn’t be as friendly as i was being with her, for no reason. she wouldn’t invite me to things but would invite my ex. where my ex went wrong (and this is the part that hurt me most) is that he wasn’t able to call it by its name until it became incredibly apparent (i saw messages about me where she had been pass aggressive towards me in conversation with him) yet he didn’t stand up to her until the very end of the relationship. i was too hurt by that point and started considering other options. I always thought about confronting her about her pass agg ways but then I was scared of getting gaslit and making a fool of myself. If this happened today, I would risk this and walk with my head held high, even reconsidering my ex’s position…

It’s tricky if you have someone in your life who doesn’t seem to be able to have any direct conversations about any issues- and in fact punishes for any feedback , even if delivered kindly. It builds tension in a common social circle. So - you said - your friend wouldn’t be offended if they heard something you said to someone else - some people are very sensitive- and of course others might be baiting gossip by asking you to talk about something they know is an issue in one of your relationships - for the purpose of creating further divide - it can be frustrating when people won’t really say what is going on.

Illegal and there absolutely will be serious consequences for ALL who continue the aggression.

We can't always know if someone is sharing with an intent to manipulate or not, what is more important is how WE respond to this sharing and what we do with this shared information. If you stay neutral and they do try to manipulate, they'll start pushing harder and become more obvious and if they are just sharing, your simple supportive statement will be enough for them and will end that topic.

I had something similar. Got into a fight with my a good friend, he confided in his best friend (who was my friend as well) and she passed on information to me (I asked her for advice because the good friend is an avoidant). So I knew he had been talking to her and not to me. I tried to talk to him but he was dismissive of my feelings, insulting, got really mad, put me down in front of people ... Long story short: I cut ties with him. She tried to make me apologize to him and always explained his behavior away. I already stopped talking about that with her, not even mentioning his name or she'd pressure me. In the long run she got really passive-aggressive and at the third confrontation she spilled the beans that she was mad at me about how I treated him. Well, I cut her out of my life as well. Very disappointing experience over all (they were longterm friends of more than 10 years). To be fair: I almost accidentally did the same thing with another friend but I cut it off once I recognized that he was starting to take sides and I made him fix things with my former good friends when they started fighting. I never asked him to take my side or to fight the others, he still did.
@Coolaxe7603 ай бұрын
Just cut off two people because of the triangle drama. My friend is in a relationship with someone and he would always vent to me about her. So I didn't like her. Later it all came to light when his girlfriend is trying to be friends with me and wonders why I didn't like her, but I'm not interested in being friends with her and I didn't want to throw my friend under the bus and say that he vents to me. I didn't know what to do.... Even though my friend would complain about her all the time, he would expect that we all be friends in the end. Drama triangle ensues and I regret taking part in it. Eventually I just told her the truth and I just cut them both out because it's exhausting and ain't nobody got time for that.

It's the first time I come across a video dealing with this topic. I've just become aware that last year I was involved in a triangulation and I can't believe it. I almost fell into the trap. I called them out the first time, they used another person to "communicate" with me, they gossiped about me, and after 3 tense months (I became really anxious and didn't know what to do), I told that person that I didn't want to discuss that specific topic with them anymore, and they disappeared from my life. Now everything makes sense. (Btw, I would love the kindle version of a season of life, I'm really enjoying the guided journal prompts)

I watched this right on the heels of the "9 ways" video about manipulators and boundaries. When you started talking about "why" people triangulate, and mentioned the failure of direct communication, I was struck by the possibility of this seeming like a good idea to someone in that situation of having their boundaries dismissed. Now, obviously I understand you wouldn't want the video to say "here's how it's your fault this is happening", but it occurs to me that a brief discussion of how toxic behavior can beget toxic behavior would be a good antidote to the human tendency toward essentialism. Just my $0.02.

When it comes to such situation, I just know they (the old mutual friends) would eventually learn about that aspect of the person I cut-off first-hand, in one way or the other.

I’m getting so tired of being interpreted in the worst light by her, I am so sad Ben hears about these fabricated mean things I’ve been doing. I don’t even try to objectively bring up her behavior with my friends, I don’t want to give her any ammo to say I’m the terrible person that she keeps insisting I am to Ben and our friends (including my husband - yes, she waited until I had left a room so it was only her and Ben and my spouse, she then started crying and claimed I had hit her. Like accused me of physical assault. Lucky that my friend and husband know me, they immediately shut it down but never interpreted her initial lie as malicious).

Maybe it’s also different because I am autistic but unfortunately in almost all of these situations I have to cut off both points of the triangle. It is the best way to keep my peace. Just because I set my boundaries with one doesn’t mean the one starting the triangulation doesn’t stop gossiping about me behind my back with the other person. It causes so much stress and in the end I feel it isn’t fair to me. A real friend would NOT allow that behavior! So, the reality is, neither are friends. And I move on (or greyrock if they are not “friends” but are something like coworkers where I am forced to be around them).

I've experienced new feelings of disgust towards male friends of mine who (i believe..) I've never been physically or romantically attracted to, however, these disgust feelings do not fall on my female friends who get into relationships. These feelings go away after a month or so, but I do wonder what this is all about. Is this a normal reaction to have? There are a lot of different reasons why I think I could feel this way, but I wonder how you feel as a psychologist!

27:49 no. If a triangulator wants my attention, and you harm me, I'll get you exactly what you don't want. Lack of attention. Break off all contact. Bye. My sister did this covert warfare against me if you cause me to lose relationships unnecessary, relationships for me are at a premium, that means you pay the premium

An ex-friend isolated a different friend through this technique. Wanted to do this with me to but didnt work because I had known the second friend for long enough...

Does Parental Alienation (that totally doesn't exist according to Feminists) qualify as triangulation...hypothetically?

Hi Dr. Ana, I bought the Connection Course already a couple of months ago. Could I still receive the content in the bundle without having to purchase it again?

Hi Mickey, unfortunately I don't have the power to provide the other content in the bundle, since my course is only a fraction of it! My hope was that those who have already taken The Connection Course will still benefit from the 99% discount on the other resources in the bundle. Totally understand if that's not for you, though.
