How to use "Only" in context?
I should have known better than to count on "only." This statement is one that can be very frustrating for someone who has progressive expectations. It's like my expectations for myself are never good enough and that everyone else is metanormative and without-or at least without as much-limits. What does this have to do with anything?
"Only" is used to people who are in a position of privilege to dictate the terms of the conversation. It implies that the person who is saying it has more knowledge or control than the other person.
