I see two ways of understanding you...<em>Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />I see two ways of understanding your comment. The first is that you are saying that people with personality disorders might be lying about their feelings. If that's the case, I completely agree with you. Just because someone says they are sad does not mean that they are actually sad. Simply saying something does not make it a fact. Only the actual feeling is fact.<br /><br />On the other hand, if you mean that people have feelings that seem disconnected from your perception of their reality, I do not agree with what you're saying.<br /><br />If I say, "I feel sad." That is a fact (assuming I'm not lying). You may believe that I do not have a valid basis or reason for feeling sad (therefore my feeling is not connected with reality). That does not change my feeling of sadness.<br /><br />I get the sense that you are speaking from experience here. Can you give an example?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />e4e</em>e4ehttp://www.emotionsforengineers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-194600066391868656.post-68583532269769854982010-04-28T12:10:05.744-07:002010-04-28T12:10:05.744-07:00Be careful with this one. People with personality...Be careful with this one. People with personality disorders can express thoughts, feelings and opinions that have no connection with reality. There are people who express and project feelings onto other people that have no basis in reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
