Social Effects (A list of social effects and how they impacted you or others around you.)
A propensity to write letters and a tendency to distrust my government is the greatest social effect I’ve felt. An uncontrollable need to mouth off about my rights even if it’s to the detriment of the situation. A ‘kiss my. . ." you know what attitude that I hope I can follow through on if need arises. I’ve avoided dating certain men for fear they were setting me up or that they would be victims of the government through the information that I would be privy to if we were to get involved. I’ve told many of my social contacts that what they tell me is not a secret from people I don’t know. I’ve avoided working even part time ‘under the table’ for fear of getting my employers in trouble. And I tend to document any transgressions in case I lose things like my job or am taken to trial for situations that my prove to be a set up. In my birth family, I am considered someone who needs mental health and/or prescription care and have been treated as someone with a substance abuse induced mental illness or as acting out under the influence, which I have partially deserved by, while under the influence of alcohol, becoming emotionally out of control over my daughters custody and trust loss. I also tend to disavow people’s opinions about this situation that I disagree with, feeling either they don’t know what they’re talking about or that they are just there as a set up.
