- a great example of what I'll call surrogate selfing
= unsustainable but super-useful role where A takes on caring for all of B's parts when B is identified with one part/perspective, or otherwise unable to access Self and just feels like a collection of arguing parts- eg "your Self seems to be offline, but I bring my Self energy to care for your parts".
- I'm tentatively coining the term design bug to refer to a situation where the app doesn't respond in the way the user expects, even if technically the code is doing what the designer wanted it to do.

- oh, so is this, although it would more naturally be categorized under something like healthy relationships or codependency or something
