Nowhere, validation coming right up!! I recently took down all my personal mementos at work, and put up a few signs with uplifting positive messages such as "choose happiness" and "live with intention" to sort of surround myself with positivity. Negativity is so so contageous, and positivity is just fleeting and hard to catch. Good for you!!

JS, my ex was the same way, and though I never knew it was a "technique" I used to give him the blank face/mirror as well. It IS hella emotionally draining, but better than a shouting match or a call to the police. . .

Have a great day couch!!
