Results of shitty Psypost study on polyamory replicated in r/psychology

Stigma peepee in another guys gf lmao

Poly people are often depressed because "poly" to them can mean their partner threatened to walk if not allowed to sleep with others. Or they got involved with someone who already has a partner because they have 0 self-esteem. And from personal experience hooking up is emotionally unfulfilling and has often left me feeling shitty.

I could see it working out in limited circumstances where a small group of 3 or 4 people have very defined roles that are comfortable for them, but i think its mostly just people justifying unhealthy relationship dynamics with a meme phrase. Ultimately though these people are making these choices freely so

Lol gotta love psypost. Never fails to generate drama on soyence subs.

The soyence says something they disagree with so of course this particular study gets scrutinized hard whereas if it had said something they did agree with then it would be beyond reproach.

16.7% of the participants at an LGBTQ+ summer camp identified as polyamorous or ambiamorous. These adolescents reported higher levels of depressive symptoms compared to their peers.

I wonder if anyone's ever studied depression vs s*x drive. High s*x drive -> likelihood to identify as LGBT -> angst about s*x life

new research highlights stigma and depressive symptoms

And thats a good thing

I would like to acknowledge that the land we are on is the traditional territory of the Marseyan Tribe, Zombulstragos, and Platillians. These Indigenous communities have lived on this land for thousands of years, and their spiritual and cultural connections to this land are deeply rooted.

It is important to recognize the history and ongoing presence of these Indigenous communities and the impacts of colonization, which have caused significant harm to their people and cultures. We must acknowledge the resilience and strength of the Marseyan Tribe, Zombulstragos, and Platillians in the face of these challenges and the ongoing contributions they make to their communities and to society as a whole.

It is imperative that we work towards building stronger relationships with Indigenous communities, including the Marseyan Tribe, Zombulstragos, and Platillians, and prioritize their voices and perspectives in our efforts towards reconciliation and healing. This includes acknowledging their rightful place as the traditional custodians of this land and working towards reparations for the harm that has been done.

We must commit to learning about the distinct histories and experiences of all Indigenous peoples and take responsibility for our role in perpetuating colonial violence. Only by working together can we build a more just and equitable society for all.
