Slowly,

Actually, this DOES make sense to me.

There are some people who seem to be motivated by pain... sometimes their own and sometimes by attempting to understand others by tapping into that pain.

I can think of a few times where I thought nothing of something until I saw the reaction of someone else... if that response was anguish and emotional pain, I was very inclined to go back and do a mental replay of what had happened to see if I felt differently.

The bad part about this tendency is that this form of figuring out DEPENDS on others to demonstrate or spill their feelings first before any work is done. I wonder why he does not feel he can do this without having to see you go through your emotions first?

Any insight on this?

Great job with the positives, sweetie. A big hug coming your way (((((Slowly))))).
