sorry dawning, I just reacted to his email and forgot to respond to your questions/thoughts.
[I feel he] is attempting to drag me there too.
Practice your boundaries. No one can drag us where we are not willing to go..
Am I overreacting?
Do you think you're overreacting?
Does this letter make sense?
What do you think? What parts in particular bother you?
I haven't the foggiest idea how to reply.
What's wrong with honesty? What are you fearing if you do that?
I truly wonder whether he is saying something here that is profound and I am just not getting it.
Narcissists are good at making us think this...I don't remember, is it possible he's one?
Is there also something wrong with me?
bleck! Personally I hate this question - what's "
Wrong" with me??!! I know it's a trigger from my N mother overusing the phrase "You're Wrong!" though. Nothing to do with you, personally. Can I ask it in another way that sounds gentler?
Q: What truth is this triggering for me? Why am I so annoyed/exasperated by all this? What do I have to learn here?
A: what do you think about it?
Should I mention this group to him?
I wouldn't!!! keep it to yourself
It sounds like he really needs someone to listen to him and tell him all the right things. I feel absolutely and completely helpless towards this guy - and I am at a complete loss.
hmmmmmm. Do you really believe this? You are helpless? So you are still feeling like the slow running gazelle?
I'm so sad for you, then. Are there people with whom these feelings don't come up? If so, why not surround yourself with them for awhile? Just a thought.
hugs,
bean
