Is There a Difference Between the Experience of the Other Person and the Accusation?
I grew up in a home where my parents let fly a fair amount of emotional intensity. And I had to realize that the experience of other people was that they were shaken. It's not because you're weak or a whiner or needy. Of course, you are affected by what they do. The micro expressions across your face of contempt, derisiveness, disdain and like a little exasperation can be really helpful too. They are really affected by what you do. You know, man, we're vulnerable. We're social primates who are evolved to be, in effect, the most affected by other species on the planet by design.
