more reading here leads me to believe, because of that defensive character I was just reading about in posts above, that I am primarily dismissive......I do what it says in that definition: I tend to suppress and hide my feelings, and I tend to deal with rejection by distancing myself from the sources of rejection (my husband, my T, a friend sometimes.......) And the anxiety that I have now could be stemming from that......
Those high level defense mechanisms ARE mindblowing! Wow, I think if anything I do introjection and sometimes sublimation, definitely thought suppression and anticipation. A dash of dark humor in there too......
