Well, obviously I'm in favor of it since I use it all the time. Such a nice misty blanket to hide behind. If it's causing you troubles though, it's probably time to learn a few other coping mechanisms so that you can diversify a bit. Trouble is that the most effective coping mechanisms are the least adaptive. I'm still trying to come up with some new ones myself. If you find any, let me know.
(I hear sublimation is a highly regarded defense mechanism. I've never got the hang of it myself.)
