I always feel like I have to second guess whether T is trying to "provoke" me into transference or if he is just annoying to me sometimes. IOW, I sometimes wonder if he is being sincere or tempting my reactions and therefore I usually assume he is sincere and play along. Not sure whether that is a good approach for me to take but I do not want to accuse T of trying to "provoke" me if he isn't. Sometimes the smile on his face pixxes me off, though. It's so creepy thinking I am supposed to guess when T is serious. I am constantly trying to read Ts mind and therefore I bet I miss a lot of things or say the wrong things.
