Tay, I'm sure I am misinterpreting some things. I mean, that's the nature of human interaction, right? The things that I've posted here, though, are concrete. I have a knack for remembering conversations, and when I post something T has said in quotes it's because those were her actual words. Maybe it's not what she meant, but those were her words and my interpretation of it. That is my reality, and my reality is the only one I can live in.
My T has a very sarcastic nature, and I have seen that come out when she is angry or frustrated or feels attacked. And when I'm anxious or emotionally dysregulated, it's likely that some of her sarcasm is lost on me. The thing about the wall, for example. I said "I feel like you're throwing up walls between us" and she said "I don't see any wall there." To me that is CRAZY. And I know my T isn't crazy or stupid. So she must have been joking/sarcastic. You know what, though? There is a time for sarcasm or "irreverent communication" as DBT calls it, and there is a time when it's not appropriate. Even I know that, and I'm no T.
