as small as a world and as large as alone

patternsmaybe:

when complying with the prompting is graceful, and resisting is immediately humiliating, rude, out of line

When they make it so that you’re doing a dance.  And the dance looks beautiful to all the onlookers.

And when you resist, it’s as if you dropped a glass of champagne on their foot and it shatters and you spilled food down their shirt and accidentally kneed them in the groin, all at once, everything that is embarrassing and clumsy.

And worse, besides, but I know the pattern, and it is despicable.
