> i can be a a total basta,rd when it comes to using other dx against them, i only resort to that when it is used against me

maybe if you expect other people to use your diagnosis against you then you read that into their posts more readily than you would otherwise. it might be the case that they don't intend to do that but you read this intention into their post. in that case they are left wondering why on earth it is that you are lashing out at them.

the cycle has to stop somewhere and each of us can only be responsible for our own actions.

it can help to think that other people tend to lash out as an expression of their hurt.

lets go back to the monkeys... i'm hurting so i lash out at you. but then you are hurting so you lash out at me. but then i'm hurting so i lash out at you.

the cycle has to stop somewhere...
