But you're triggering my terror of countertransference that you might have noticed mentioned a lot by posters on PPB (or PBP, I suppose). Most of us are terrified that our therapists have strong negative countertransferential feelings for us. I know you're not our therapists, but all this talk is making me dizzy.
Now I'm going to be afraid to joke with you, or fuss at you, or say nice things about you, or in any way be free and open with you in the way I have liked being for fear you're secretly feeling g*d only knows what in response.
Sigh. But maybe that's your intent.
And isn't it possible that we have feelings for you that aren't entirely transferential? And isn't it possible that you have one or two genuine feelings for us, too? G*d only knows you've gotten to know us much better than we've gotten to know you.
