The things is, we are not all Dinah's. Bob uses her as an example repeatedly. I agree Dinah has a very astute way with words, and is a very isightful, thoughtful, and supportive person. But not everyone has her experiences nor has everyone been in psychotherapy for years.
Maybe Ron was hurting inside? Maybe he grew up in an environment where people said one thing and meant or did another? Which leads to the walking on eggshells effect..And perhaps he was reaching out-I don't see he came here to slam anyone. And perhaps if given the chance-this is something he could have worked on through talking with others here. Now that he is blocked again, it may reinforce his experience and cause more harm. I agree with you, Manic.
Ron is Ron. Partly Cloudy is Partly Cloudy. Manic is Manic. We are all individuals with our own unique strength and potentials. And we should all strive to be our best through our positive qualities rather than striving to 'be' Dinahs.
(No offense meant Dinah...Bob just continually refers to you as an example of some sort of model he wishes to see (see numerous references in this thread)-and I do not think that is fair to everyone else.)
