Glad to meet another Sedaris fan! I hear his newest book is really funny. Let me know if you like it, then maybe I'll pick it up as well
Just found that article you suggested on developing detachment. It was really eye-opening for me and definitely something that I need to work on (for all my relationships). It reminded me of couples counseling actually and how the therapist would always point out that we each felt emotionally responsible for the other, which made things very tangled. It was hard to separate what was hers and what was mine emotionally. I copied the text from that article so I can refer to it easily when I need reminders.
Would you be able to explain to me the concept of "going dim" a bit? I think I mistakenly believed the two were interchangeable because I thought you needed to detach in order to "go dim". Thank you in advance for all the help!
