ShortE,
I did it with my therapist and I do it with others in my life as well, but certainly not to the same extent... someone pointed out to me last week that I might be hypervigilant; I'd heard that term before but thinking about what it means in terms of communication made me realize it was hypervigilance that causes me a lot of grief. And causes me also to misunderstand what is said (make it worse). There are times, though, that I gloss over stuff because I'm simply not ready to hear it; I make stuff lighter than it should be. That is self-defense because I'm so bloody insecure.
It helps to know those things about myself. Maybe your filter incorporates one of these behaviours?
