RE: my thoughts on Jon being an ‘addict’…
The text of this podcast, by having this as a character point, is explicitly stating that: if you were traumatized at a young age, you better develop healthy coping skills and not maladaptive ones, despite the possibility of an unstable youth or other underlying mental disorders making this difficult in adulthood, least you be rightfully ostracized and dehumanized by your peers for being unable to make the right choices.
That’s y’all. That’s what y’all sound like.
