geek social fallacies
Dec. 4th, 2003 09:11 pmDiscovered an interesting article on common geek social fallacies in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kendaer's LJ. No, these do not apply just to geeks.
I've had problems in the past with myself having GSFs 1, 3 and 4. I am still prone to falling into #3 because friends *are* important to me - especially chosen family.
GSF #3 is especially fatal combined with GSF #4.
I grew up with GSFs #3 and #4, to a large extent, applying to family: you must give anything where family is concerned and family of family is family. This is something that eventually became very difficult for me. I did not see saying "no" or even "I'm not comfortable with this" as an option, because to *question* family duty is the same as stating that you see family duty as *optional* - which is akin to peeing on the President. You Just Don't Do It.
