>However, I think there is a real possibility that some people here are very angry with me and do not like me. I got a glimpse of this anger and it frightens me a great deal.
I know you have been thinking a little bit about transference... Here is another one:
PROJECTION
Projection is one of the defense mechanisms identified by Freud and still acknowledged today. According to Freud, projection is when someone is threatened by or afraid of their own impulses so they attribute these impulses to someone else.
And so what I'm wondering... Is whether your concern about people being angry with you... Is you projecting the anger / fear that you feel towards yourself onto other people...And maybe that has something to do with why you send stuff that you know is inappropriate.
It is a way of eliciting those feelings in others.
(Not at all meaning to imply that you do this consciously)
But its a way of confirming that other people see you how you see yourself...
Just something to think about...
Feel free to ignore me :-)
