The Power of Non-Directive Coaching

I have such strong rejection sensitivity that I am borderline sociopathic. People cannot criticize me because I will not, I simply won't allow it. Perceived RSC is a huge part of my disability and even worse than that is real RSD. So how do you think you neurologically tell the difference between ah, it's because you trust me and know me and you know that's a joke? Or is it just because you've got a sense of humor and you can tell when someone's joking?
