It's like I would use it to set up a "smoke screen", so people don't see the real me, so that I can hide in plain view. Does that make sense?
I do this, too. In working with my therapist it is becoming more clear to me every day, too, how I use it to manipulate. It is uncomfortable looking at it, admitting it and dealing with it. I'm very confused by a lot of it; because what happened is real and often times painful. It's what I DO with it that has been causing me grief. Sorry to be vague, but I'm at the babysteps stage with this.
It's what I DO with it also that causes me grief, lots of it.
Mike, you have given me much to ponder and re-think. I'll get back to you on your most recent post.
