> to scare someone is a natural protection....you get puffed up and scare someone away and they are too afraid to come hurt you. animals do that all the time...think of that puffer(?) fish that anytime something comes near it it balloons up and little spikes are all over him! that scares others off so they won't harm him.
> it's ok muffy**Thanks ((B2))
Actually this is a really good metaphor for me. I 'get' this. Duhhhhhhhhh. Sometimes, its like some part of me understands stuff, but the rest of me don't. I could even write, "I was trying to test T to see if she would dump me" or something along those lines...
and NOW I see that the form of those tests were often on a level of a older/younger part of me, part of my defense, and its way is to be tough and scare people away....
So maybe my defense is trying to scare my T away...
Ya, GOOD analogy.
Thanks :-)

Youtube can be a minefield of triggers for me so i don't go there much, so its nice to have a specific link to it.
Thanks!
