borderline defensive

We all define our personalities within certain parameters. This brings to mind a concept of therapy for something called "borderline personality disorder." When people behave in ways they would not tolerate from others they have crossed a standard of self-acceptance and to the degree they can deny creating a problem is how unbalanced they are willing to make themselves. How this can effect (the performance of) other people makes it a responsibility of society to be informed (performance art).

Denial is the main symptom so the those who need the most help (learning about it) are the least likely to admit the tendency (that) is prevalent in everyone. You can't tell people you are concerned with their feelings if they don't want to understand yours can care innocently (when theirs don't.) Self actualization starts with maintaining contentment with behavior deviation. Denial of the potential that healthy attitude can treat depression is an interesting symptom of limiting hopefulness.

The hope I found in the book "Stop Walking on Eggshells" comes from the intelligence needed to maintain this emotional codependency called borderline personality disorder. This affliction is harbinger of an information age paradigm. "Emotional Intelligence" implies the experimenting that harnesses a new power source from appreciating paradox. Conflict in your mind is like needing opposing muscle groups to get up off your ass.
