The Relationship You’re Actually In: Fantasy, Possession, and the Death of the Real Person “When the fantasy dies and the real person is all

from Zo Williams: Voice of Reason · host KBLA 1580 Am

Most people believe they are in a relationship with another human being. They are not. They are in a relationship with a carefully maintained projection, a preferred version assembled early and defended long after the real person has already left it. The fantasy is not a soft illusion. It is a demand. It requires the other person to remain recognizable, predictable, and useful to the internal story.
