So many times I'll be talking to someone, and I dunno I guess I word things in a very positive way, because I get a lot of responses that are like Oh well at least you do this, or at least you know/think this....Great, why don't I feel so great about it? There are so many at least's I get. At least you don't have to deal with this. At least you don't do that. It's not an every now and then thing. It's all the time. People seem to be confusing my self awareness for progress. So how would you even explain that to someone who thinks you're doing perfectly fine? I just hear sentences starting with at least that it almost sounds like a ritual.
