cr*phead a bad word?
We use that word alot in our family.
Even my more refined sisters do.
But then I wondered when I saw it on the header?
Excuse me if so :(
I'm not so refined.
But I mean no harm.

I can totally relate to that one!
When I used to see my shrink I always thought that way too: Like "she's only being nice because she gets paid to do so". Eventually I came to actually believe that she genuinly liked and cared about me as a person.
They (the shrinks) chose to go into the profession of helping others, which they hopefully will do a good job at so in the end does it really matter what motivates them to do so?
But you could still always just ask her why she's nice to you and hopefully she gives you the truthful answer. Im guessing what you really just wanna know is if she likes you or not?
Or am I totally off base here? : )

Same as how I care about what motivates the administrator of this site. Mebbe its some kind of leftover safety precaution behaviour of mine.

> Or am I totally off base here? : )**:) LOL! I HAVE asked, many a time. She always says the appropriate things. But seriously, is she gonna say she thinks I an idiot??? LOL! One of the T mantras is 'unconditional acceptance'.....
Sigh.
My poor ole T can't win eh?!
Take care, happy new year.

> Muffled: ) Well of course its easy for me to ask someone else if it logically matters if your shrink likes you or not... but I know exactly how you feel. Id absolutely have to feel that I was liked or there would be no way I could see this person.
And yeah, unfortunately she wouldnt tell you if she didnt like you but she probably does... Ive read a bunch of your posts and you seem very like able.

is only "sometimes vulgar", so it's OK.
BTW, if you're wondering about a word, you can use the "check spelling" button on the posting page...

COOL!
I didn't know what that spelling thing did! Thats so cool.
It also tells in that dictionary bout vulgarity level.
I been around awhile, but I never knew.
I'm the sort that gets something to be assembled in a box, and tries to assemble it w/o looking at the instructions....
Thank you.
I am wiping sweat off my brow.
I feel slightly nauseous.
