Lol. I can relate to that. I too have a couple of dogs I enjoy. I know what you mean by having the tools. I know afterwards what I should have said or done but in the moment I go into people pleasing mode. I'm kind of at the point where I just want to give up on the human race but I know that's not healthy. On the other hand others triggering me doesn't seem to appealing either. Been sitting on this fence for a year or so now. Do you work? I don't. I was thinking then a person would be forced to be around others.
