The gist

1. Depending on one person for emotional validation gives them leverage over you, just as relying on a single energy source creates geopolitical vulnerability.
2. Manson says you cannot negotiate with irrational partners optimizing for drama or spite; the only move is to leave, not engage.

4. Manson argues that the moment you stop needing someone is paradoxically when they become most interested in you.
