Yeah, I know, even to say that is another distortion. A lot of the point I am trying to make with this thread is please try not to judge people based on what I have told you about them, because I've been distorting it all along. I wonder what the connection is between distortion and resistance. I know that I am not gentle or patient with myself though, and we could easily switch theories and talk about how much I project of my own feelings onto other people. Projection and mind reading seem to be getting at the same thing, don't you think? Maybe I am the one who is pushing me to the point that I shut down and don't move at all.

Sky, and all of you, thanks for your comments. I am trying to learn to see things more clearly, and being able to bounce this off of you and get another perspective really helps.
