Such an awful place to be stuck. I tend to be one who say's no one can *make* me feel something that isn't already there at some level. It goes back to our discussion about indifference. If I were truly indifferent to someone (working on it at this very moment, regarding someone else...), then no matter what they said or did, my feelings would be my own.
I had a client once who used to feel guilty about a lot of things. And she would get mad at her mother for "making her feel guilty." I said the same thing to her...no one can make you feel guilty if you don't already feel it inside yourself. It's really coming from you, not your mom. And she was stuck in that dang tyranny, too!
Take care,
