Anyway, I'm pretty sure you've become a bit guilty of appearing empathetic to people's feelings on these threads  .   Hope it works out. |
I do not believe the feelings of others are horrible - just none of my business for the most part. Mine are not particularly horrible either, but they are mine and no one else's and having them intruded upon is not pleasant or useful for me. The therapist is not my friend or family so her feelings, so long as I am not going out of my way to hurt them (and I do not believe I could hurt her even if I tried - I believe she is impervious), are not any of my business. It is my belief that is a respectful position to take.
I shall work on the other thing. Sorry. Such a thin line between not pissing others off all the time with my detachment stance and falling into the empathy abyss.
