Here is a quote that I think could be applied to Ts; it is from the book The Survivor Personality... by Al Siebert, Ph.D.:

"When you feel vulnerable to what someone says or does, try thinking of this person as a teacher assigned to you in the school of life. Of course, you can decide not to learn any lessons at this time. That's OK because the school of life is so well organized, it will arrange for you to have many more opportunities for you to learn!"


Actually, I feel that this book is in the same category.
