DUDE! NO JOKE! That was basically what I was thinking when T (a PsyD/ PMHNP/ founder of the clinic/ clinical director/ flies all over setting up other clinics and doing good deeds WORLDY) told me she gets on planes and doesn't want to talk to people and when someone asks her where's she's going before they even take off, she pulls out her book and turns her shoulder to the person!!! I was shocked. And this is a BOUNDARY?! Rrrrrrow!!!! Interesting to see the various sides of our T's that we never see otherwise. She probably gives some nice answer first before turning her back... i hope. She said "I don't want to have to say "I don't want to talk to you", but if they don't get the hint of our social cues, then they are being rude." *kiya picks jaw off floor*. I told her that I felt like I'd just landed on Mars -I was so shocked.
Soli - sorry things are so tough with your fam - I don't know why we have to get so abrupt with people - i guess they just aren't getting those "social cues".
