"You're either with us or against us" — and your child picks a side just to stay in the group?
"If you don't support us, you're a traitor", "everyone normal has already chosen". There's no room for their own view — only "one of us" or "the enemy". Your child is reacting to the fear of being rejected.
"One of us" or "the enemy" — and no room for your own view
Your child is forced to pick a side. "You're either with us or against us", "if you don't support us you're a traitor", "everyone normal has already chosen" — at school, in their group, in chats. The child feels the pressure and chooses, just to avoid being pushed out of the group.
But this isn't a position — it's group pressure. The child is forced to take a side even when the situation is more complicated. And emotion is added on top — "friend/enemy", "us/them". The choice is squeezed into two extremes when there are really more.
Without the skill to spot it, the child agrees just to stay "inside". The result — they give up their own view in exchange for acceptance. Not because they "cave", but because they're reacting to the fear of being rejected.
