In reply to What is the point of being genuine?, posted by Dinah on August 21, 2004, at 10:34:18
OK, so 'Real Dinah' is easily overwhelmed by her feelings, and acts them out in disturbing ways, and has trouble functioning as an adult. 'Fake Dinah' shows no feeling at all, just behaves as a proper adult and suppresses her feelings totally. Then 'Genuine Dinah' must be somewhere in the middle, right? Able to function and behave appropriately, yet also able to feel and express feelings. So I'll bet that while some people might prefer Fake Dinah to Real Dinah, they'd really much prefer Genuine Dinah over Fake Dinah.
I have trouble with the whole concept of middle ground myself.
