>Hi, UD.
This might sound strange, but I'm sure you understand it. I lived for 40 years socially inhibited, mute, and without personality. There were no anger impulses that required discipline to control. I'm still moving towards finding a balance that works for me, but it's an ongoing project.
Suffice it to say that I have very little tolerance for negative energy, especially cynicism and nihilism. For some people who are stuck in a state of severe depression and hanging on by just a thread, reinforcing a negative portrayal of the world can be deadly. I know this is usually done inadvertently, which is why I started off telling another poster not to take what I was about to say personally, and that I was criticizing the author of the book he was promoting.
I can smell cynicism and feel negative energy from a mile away. What I triggered to be brought to the surface gave me chills.
We are all different. It's normal to be different.

Bad treatment habits:
After so many years, some of the most brilliant minds appearing on Psycho-Babble had become the community's worst role models. Nobody ever gets well following their examples.Passion doesn't die. Hopefully, my expression of it will be better deliberated in the future.
You are very gentle in the way you critique my behavior. I really appreciate that.
Thanks.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
