The other with me don't like me either, I don't think it is all that uncommon. Our role of being the interface with the outside world requires us to act in ways the others are uncomfortable with.

I think a lot of people have safe places they go when they disassociate... At least that is what I got out of a conversation with one of my T's who was dumbfounded that not only did I not have a safe place I had no earthly clue what this 'safe place' thing was that she was talking about.

I am glad you found yours and have someplace nice to go to rest when things get to be too much.
