Phillipa, I am glad that the explanation of my methods was able to help you. And I have yet another tidbit to offer. Another observation.
The longer I live, the more situations in which people are attempting to control me in some fashion I find myself in.
I'm not speaking to friends or family, I don't get that feeling from them very often ( Although it does happen ). I'm speaking of people I barely know or people I just meet. Even people who live in the TV ( not really live, but that's the only place I see them ).
But them having that goal presents an interesting truth for me. If I exercise complete self-control, then I have in my possession the thing that someone else REALLY wants. Then I'm in possession of all the bargaining chips.
If you want evidence of this, try in one situation in your life to have an infinite amount of patience and understanding. And NEVER under any circumstance let go of yourself. Yeah...it's hard to do, but the difference...is absolutely amazing.
