That guy sounds sort of self-important. You do wonder how it's supposed to help you to know that he's pleased with his own work-ethic.
My T tries to claim he's doing it for my benefit. I keep feeling that he could do more for my benefit if he did whatever he's doing in gentler, or less cutting way. He doesn't agree. Or he also doesn't agree that he's being mean. In fact, he strongly suggests that he's not going to put up with my saying that-- when I mentioned that anyway.
Maybe I need to work on not being so upset if he doesn't like what I"m doing. Not an easy thing, though-- since I frequently myself feel disappointed in what I'm doing.
Or maybe I do exaggerate the sarcasm. I don't suppose I could be completely making it up though. I'd hate to think I was capable of so misreading another person for so long, and not being able to correct my false impression.
