re: #156 CuriousLurker
Thanks. ;-)
I’m s-l-o-w-l-y learning that it’s possible to be horrified by awful people or events without internalizing them and thereby allowing them to harm me. I know that seems obvious, but it’s not always so easily done.
The best advice my shrink gave me when I was having similar issues, was to try to not let other people’s problems become my own problems.
So now, if I can, I step back and say, “You’re an ass, and that’s on you, not me.”
Then I flip them the bird, in my mind, of course. :-)
