Being up close and personal with my W for the last 6 months I've noticed they go through their own roller-coaster of emotions like we do. They hide it at times just as well as the LBS, but other times(just like us) it spills over and is noticeable.
When I see those negative emotions slipping out it lets me see some of their reality and how its not all perfect as they let it appear most of the time. If you read the lighthouse story you can see they really are in chaos no matter what they show. Some are just better at hiding it and the thrill of the A can mask the symptoms. Its not sustainable in the long run.
I think fantasy land is actually a [censored] place to be in, they just stick in it wanting it to be great.
Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be
