Yeah, f*ck them, Susan.
I hate arrogant people who judge others. F*ck them. But it's really healthier to ignore them, pity them. It's also important not to blame them totally for our weaknesses. We are largely responsible for our own sensitivity because of our defective genes, our dysfunctional environments, our self-destructive tendencies or other crap that life has laid upon us. But the Pollyanna in me tells me that it ironically has also been a gift to be f*cked up. My troubled clients seem more comfortable with me than my colleages, I have a real hard time hating anyone when everyone else seems so adept at hating, and I have this crazy notion that something good is going to happen to me someday or that somehow this suffering that others have been spared will all make sense to me somehow.
You've been stuck in this quicksand for quite a while now Susan. We keep trying to throw you a line but nothing seems to get you out. It even seems as if some of your own struggling to get unstuck has gotten you in deeper. Still, I see you freeing yourself some day. You are too damn tough to just quit.
