Hmm, I have NEVER thought of any of my T's as being superior to me, or more accomplished. Who do they answer to??? Pretty much no one! As the saying goes, doctors bury their mistakes. I had to answer to a computer every day of my working life, constantly checking me, checking me, checking me. And insane bosses. T's have crazy people coming in to talk to them - it's unpleasant, but really, how hard is it??? Boy, SOMEBODY is grumpy tonite! me, me, me! So - advantage of BPD or narcissistic PD or being manic - always thinking you're better than everybody else! Well, plus, T says he works out, 2 hours, 4 times a week - so I understand he WORKS for his hard body, and I have seen him change. so... a lesson for me there. I USED to work for stuff, but my parents wouldn't let me have my results. so I gave up. i'm (re)learning what it's like to keep what you earn. is that an issue for you, do you think?
