hmm.
well i should probably say thats *my* theory
and most would probably disagree with me.i think most people...
emphasise that they aren't real...
but then how real is a self supposed to be?
maybe her reality as *other* is negotiable
(or hopefully she won't seem so *other* one day...)
but her feelings etc...
well they arise from your brain / body
just like yours do
so...
i would think...
they would be just as real as yours
and thus need to be taken as seriously as yours...and in my own experience...
i've found that trying to ignore them...
trying to say
'i made you up and you aren't real and i don't have to listen to you'
makes them worsei think...
they just want some acknowledgement
some acceptance and care
same as me
same as you
same as the next person...but i guess thats just my thoughts...
