Screening or withholding thoughts and emotions so that you will be loved and accepted is not genuine. It is not reflective of what is inside. [Reverse example: In the corporate world, where intimacy is not usually appropriate, it makes sense to communicate strategically with the intent of being accepted, praised, promoted. Perhaps that is why people with intimacy issues do so well in the corporate world (some of my friends call them "corporate robots"... It is an easy place to hide and practice controlling outcomes with people. None of this behavior has any place in a loving, trusting, open R.
Bingo!! -- the Corporate world and the military as well.
...and I have spent the past 20 years succeeding in and getting promoted in both!
Let me "think" on the rest of your post for a bit.
