If u read my reply at 257, it sounds pretty much in line with what you may be saying. The distinction I’m making since then, in response to your comment, is pretty much a matter of degree. It comes from my own habit of thinking in terms of how we all fall somewhere on the mental health continuum. (None of us is considered completely “normal” because we all have different circumstances that impacted the person we became as adults).
Crawling back in my hidey hole now... Lol.
That was helpful as well. I’m trying to understand someone that fits your description, minus the religiosity, and it’s a fairly accurate description.
Is this knowledge from professional experience or casual study, if I my ask.
