About there being "too many mad [people]", "everyone's crazy round here", "they're all nutters". I work in a customer service environment.

I'm not sure how I'd respond to a best friend with the same issue. I'm too entangled with a Protector self state that is all for controlling people and making them say more 'acceptable' things that are more compassionate to vulnerable people. [I have complex trauma difficulties due to my childhood plus.]

Does anyone else have any thoughts?
