I would not feel at all guilty, I'd get immense pleasure from it, however I do not want to pay the price nor feel the rage that would ensue from being judged and mocked myself after committing such an act which others would see as weakness. I keep all that tightly wrapped.

I don't bother with mimicking empathy, I agree with my father that if you can't identify don't empathize.

I appreciate this frank discussion. I'm tired of having to hide my teeth. It's exhausting .
