C O U C H 39 -The Renaissance Period

In the half dark I almost picked up the custard. I wonder if warm custard and honey works?

Despite all the help he gave, H said something last night that bothered me. He said that I am not a people person and I will never be a people person and I should just accept it.

Why should I accept that?

Ok. I'm off to try this sleep thing again. Have a good one guys.

I have no idea because I wouldn't call you a NON people person.... just cause H said it doesn't mean its true.

Good night BPA....

Yea, she'd love that. Then I'd have to tell her about the memories of dad bringing his lovers and their kids to our beach house, where they would sleep in my bed and play with my stuff and leave dirty clothes and beach sand on the floor.

Ick. There is probably a session there somewhere. Drat.

my guess is that there probably would be

Don't you hate it that SD appears to be correct alot? LOL

I agree with all of those that think SD would be a good therapist.

Chopin, in order to be a people person you'd have to be extremely mellow and laid back. Nothing could frazzle you. Some people are born that way. Not us though. lol.

You mean not hate it, right?
Ack. What would do with all of those clients who wanted hugs, to hold my hand, to talk about feelings? The horror.
Perhaps I could specialize in therapist to the monosyllabic detached avoidant people only.

Yes I do ..... but she couldn't have me as a patient, as I would need to hug her and take her rejection personally.

Ick...tell them about boundaries. (no offense to the hugging hand holders on pc)

See that would be the great part about being a therapist - I would simply dismiss your hurt by shouting "Boundaries"

Too late already taken.... ( I am not one in real life, just secretly wish I was)

you are so NOT hired.

Now I am scratching my head wondering if I am a "detached avoidant person".

Can you be avoidant with the world while being all huggy and lovey with your kids, your dogs, and babies?

I consider myself an introvert. After I am with lots of other people (work, for example), I need time alone. What occurred at the grocery store yesterday was an anomaly.

Damn straight. SD...you need to go back to school.

Several "people" people I know are not mellow or laid back.

I once asked my boss who in management in this company has good people skills. My boss said no one. He considered his own to be "decent". I'm here 6-10 hours a day. Argh.

Apparently those with people skills do not work in mental/behavioral health...lol!!

(((((((((((((((((((((LOLA)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))



(oh, and huggy lovey kissy on line too)

Introverted, not avoidant.

No , you are not.... I just looked it up and there is a picture of SD.

So THAT'S what she looks like! Wow, no pipe!

Sounds familiar to me. First, I think you're my husband, now I think you're my T.

Um, HELL no. I'd hire you as my attorney, but not my T.

Other than that, I'd probably be your best client.

People-people are over-rated. My dad was a people person. He was amazing with his staff and the community. Everyone loved him, every woman slept with him. He was brutal at home though. I'd rather be decent with people and incredible at home. I think my kids have appreciated that too.

Detached avoidance = StopDog... see picture
