we all have free choice and the ability to make decisions. why do people allow themselves to get trapped in situations they don't want to be in? be seeing you

Because they don't deactivate? I mean, walk away....

Desperation

Because they allow their alligator mouths to overload their humming bird azzes?

There are many reasons. I think that with many, it's a financial reason.

i do not know or care...and uhmmm i never do see you

Because they know no better...

Like Ainjel said in some cases they know no better, this is the same types of situations they have seen their family in... So it could be learned behaviors.

Other times in abusive relationships, this happens over time and they are then emotionally and/or financially tied to the other person.

Sheep...lemmings....and other collective mind populations...group mentality....

Because I am an idiot!

Because sometimes ya just don't see the doo-doo coming until the doo-doo hits the fan and then it's too late to do anything about the doo-doo you're in.

Cant speak for anyone else. I can say, that at first the situations were not bad. It was only after years of being there, and the situation getting worse, that I felt trapped..but luckily, I wasn't trapped, therefore, I left...

Many times people don't realize that they are trapped until the walls are closing in on them, they see something that makes the wake up and see that there is something better out there, or they are completely dropped out of their comfort zone without warning.

When that happens, they have to scramble and try to make a split second decision that can sometimes make or break them and many times it seems like it is easier to go back to that same situation because it is a "known" rather than venture out into a new realm that could be even worse than what they are in now.

cuz were bored. be imagining you naked...

People are conditioned from a young age. The Wilson administrations revision of public schooling was based on the fact that America needed more "ditch diggers"; people walk around in an almost hypnotic haze, with conditioned responses to stimuli (Pavlov/Skinner/Watson) and when they break away from this it becomes uncomfortable and alienating.

I always expect people to be people. Be seeing you
