That's interesting. Back in the day I could have formed some theory or imagined slight. I think the basis of stinking thinking is wrong assumptions and self centredness. I didn't need any facts. Judging someone else by my own standards would have been enough.

It is very self centred to assume that people act in a deliberate way to harm us, when in actual fact that could be the furthest thing from their mind. In the example, I might not have replied simply because I don't do Xmas cards, as a general thing, not a targeted thing. People that know me wouldn't be offended. But the alcohlic mind could make something of it.
