現代人什麼都要分享，但過度分享會帶來你不知道的危險 (The Dangers of Oversharing)
- A painful developmental story tends to lie behind the compulsion. We share too much when we have been too lonely. We fail to understand the risks of overexposure when we have suffered in environments in which so little sincere or real was ever exchanged. We rush to confess because no one showed us a steady, composed route to intimacy. To the isolated former child, no alarm sounds at the thought of having an unbarred conversation with a character who entered the room twenty minutes ago. Such is the promise and lure of togetherness. Such has been the burden of secrecy. We might with time make our peace with remaining somewhat more mysterious. We might more judiciously weigh up the benefits of a sugar-rush of disclosure against the slower satisfactions of safety. We might tell very few people indeed what is going on for us in love, with our health or with work, not because we want to be unkind or boring, but because our first priority has become to look after ourselves.
強迫症的背後往往隱藏著一個痛苦的成長故事。當我們過於孤獨時，我們就會分享太多。當我們在很少有真誠或真實交流的環境中受苦時，我們無法理解過度暴露的風險。我們急於表白，是因為沒有人給我們指明一條穩定、沉著的親密之路。對於曾經與世隔絕的孩子來說，一想到要與二十分鐘前進入房間的人物進行暢所欲言的對話，就不會發出任何警報。這就是團聚的承諾和誘惑。這就是保密的負擔。隨著時間的推移，我們也許會對保持神祕感做出讓步。我們可以更明智地權衡公開的好處和安全的緩慢滿足。我們可能很少告訴別人我們在愛情、健康或工作方面的情況，這並

為什麼我們總是離不開傷害我們的人？💔 (Why We Can't Stop Loving Those Who Hurt Us)
- But for others among us, this is when we begin to show our distinctive colours. Hope springs eternal. Yes, the partner may presently be somewhat disappointing, but soon they may recover. Admittedly, they have become hugely unkind in many ways, but they did apologise nicely last week, before repeating their offence, and so there is a decent chance, we believe, that things will be on an upswing over the longer term. To outside observers, the faith that we have in our partner can appear quasi-religious. Why do we keep giving our unreliable companion so much leeway? Why do we hope against hope? Why don't we cut our losses right now and leave? Why are we so convinced that with just a little more effort on our part, one more discussion, one more long email sent in the early hours, everything will alter? Furthermore, perhaps why do we keep assuming that we have done something wrong and that it is primarily our role to apologise and make amends? The explanation is that we grew into hopeful people not by choice, but of necessity. We almost certainly spent our childhoods in circumstances where we had no option but to become enormous believers in our parents and, simultaneously, enormous doubters of ourselves. When little, we couldn't afford to think that our parents were simply disappointing, wounded people with whom we shouldn't interact too much and then walk away. We were four years old. So we did what children of unfulfilling parents always do. We started to think ill of ourselves. We developed a genius for wondering what was wrong with us and for assembling complicated and overly generous explanations for the bad behaviour of others. We evolved an expectant stance towards whatever morsel of love our parent might throw our way. We became excited by deprivation. All day they might have been ill-tempered and cruel to us. Perhaps at nightfall, they might say something sweet and ruffle our hair. This became the most exciting and appalling game of our lives. As adults, we continue to be addicted to this tension. It has come to seem that this is what love is, the pain-tinged, continuous expectation that an unfulfilling person might abruptly turn round and be nice to us again. Love is waiting for someone who was once slightly kind to resume their interest. It doesn't strike us that love might actually be something quite different, simpler and less tortured. An ongoing, reliable exchange of mutually respectful sympathy and gentleness. And if it's not this, that we should leave at once. Indeed, if we have the troubled fortune to meet a reliable soul, we will probably respond to them with a feeling of nausea and bewilderment and flee in short order. Perhaps back to the last unfulfilling partner. The toll we pay in terms of wasted years is lamentable. Whereas others among us can enjoy calm, kindly relationships, we will get locked into exhausting scenarios with perturbed individuals who very subtly mess us around, who say one thing and do another, who don't give us physical affection or blow hot and cold, who may be having affairs and keep promising to change and don't. And the worst is that for all our suffering, this somehow excites us, this keeps us on our toes, this feels like what we need to keep doing. We know nothing else. We have to start to believe what our childhoods never allowed us to think. Some people need to be given up on. Certain seemingly ordinary and good people are in fact very damaged and will hurt and bully those around them. Some people with a few lovely qualities to them will, considered in the round, work an entirely negative effect on our lives. It's not our role to keep second-guessing unfulfilling people, to spin elaborate stories as to why they may be doing what they do.
但對於我們中的其他人來說，這正是我們開始展現自己獨特色彩的時候。希望永存。是的，伴侶目前可能有些令人失望，但很快他們就會恢復過來。誠然，他們在很多方面都變得非常不近人情，但他們上週在重犯之前確實很好道地了歉，所以我們相信，從長遠來看，事情會有好轉的可能。在外人看來，我們對伴侶的信任似乎近乎宗教。為什麼我們總是給我們不可靠的伴侶這麼大的迴旋餘地？為什麼我們不抱希望？為什麼我們不馬上減少損失並離開？為什麼我們如此堅信，只要我們再努力一點，再討論一次，再在凌晨時分發一封長長的電子郵件，一切都會改變？此外，也許為
