With my PD, it could either be all-about-you or all-about-me. I had an intellectual understanding of that which didn't help a lot. I worked like heck (with my therapist) get to an understanding of a separate self (me) and separate other, which are separate but both OK. Would you like me to write some more about that?

I was hoping Thorn Bird might be around to offer her insight, since you have been helpful to her, but she seems to have flown the coop, after banging on the door, screaming and trying to break in a window to get what she wanted! But maybe she'll come back, we'll see.
No I'm still hear I have asked questions but as you all conceive this to be banging on doors and breaking windows I have been somewhat content with the answers I got from underground - all I am trying to do is understand - I am not the enemy! Your talking of empathy understanding how someone feels when they are hurt or sad - think how you feel when you feel things and then metaphorically speaking put those feelings into the other person they feel the same things as you do - may be I am presuming you feel those things?
