Like, totally, man...
I know, I know, closure, boundaries, "place," are you at risk (although I've never been asked the last one, lucky me...)
On the other hand, and here I go intellectualizing again (!), they ARE only just words. And we have to use words to understand each other. And if we balk at a certain one (empathic really gets me, though), maybe it means it's an issue (arrrggghhhhh) we're having trouble with. Like empathy, or the grieving we feel when someone dies, or the ability or inability to let others know there's a line they can't cross... It's all just shorthand.
My 2 cents. After all, I haven't been here in a few days, the sub teaching has been good lately.
More later, love to all,
Wendy
