Oh lord yes -- more recently than ever. A recent example would be my more frequent use of the PC chatrooms. Suffice to say its done nothing for my histrionic/narcissistic traits (although i never expected it too) and to be honest i usually come away feeling stupid and angry at how ive made others sick to the back teeth of the sight of me! (at least most of the time anyhow). It has however pushed me to be a bit more social - even if its just online and i have made some interesting acquaintances. I guess it helps me to try and moderate my over-dependancy on others as well as to recognise my overall changeability which im working to try and cope with better. Like for example, the chatrooms provide a better platform for me to back out when ive had enough or need to reign in it a bit - i tend to fluctuate in the extreme i.e. from very hyper and on edge one minute to sulky and withdrawn the next. The point im trying to make i suppose is that some situations make our symptoms even more obvious to us - even if they don't otherwise seem that apparent. Again it gives you something to work on/practise with i think...
Thanks for this!
