Whether that is twisted or not is fair game for debate...
The degree undoubtedly falls into the pathological, but again, I think it is just part of my nature, and it doesn't bother me in the least. Which is probably pathological in itself...  |
Innerzone! ^ this - exactly
And I am more and more realising that my expectations for myself are extremely low. And how, indeed, what I consider 'normal' is maybe not something I should be accepting. I sometimes realise when Ts or pdocs point it out, but still.
Just to take one example, I have a friend who gets 'depressed' (ahem) and makes a lot of noise about the fact that she doesn't have a bf and her friends don't care about her enough. She feels entitled to caring friends and a bf, and the lack of them makes her feel bad. I don't even feel entitled to things in the first place.
