Annoying Curious Person/Me
There’s a rule of Reddit where many Redditors are insufferable people and I don’t think it’s limited… (insufferability for me is well actuallying and interjecting with my overzealous curiosity) poly rules as I understand them are the same as they are for monogamy where you don’t enter a relationship to fix something lacking or dysfunctional in your current one(s) and you need to respect your partner(s) as well as be transparent as your partner(s) need you to be. I just think a lot of folks monogamous and polyamorous titled be fucking up especially on Reddit. Those rules are to avoid abusing/using/taking advantage of and punishing people who you’re with or yourself with compensating.
I also do not see much difference between the social balancing it takes with family and friends multitudes than partners.
I finally don’t think everyone is capable of/interested in being polyamorous and some folks are more content alone, I think it’s as much of a spectrum as anything. The judgement that it makes one selfish to be interested in and capable of it though strikes me as the same criticism I get for not personally minding what gender my partners are. I think selfish folks exist in all sexualities and identities.
