For example, when I'm depressed I rarely answer honestly when asked, "How are you?" That's because at that point sympathy is the last thing I need, because sympathy - as you point out in your post - reinforces my negative perceptions of the moment. The last thing I need, at times like those, is to get agreement that things suck, since agreement can only serve to perpetuate my perspective. I'd rather be "right" about something a tad more enabling. And I agree with Julie, your insights are always welcome. (BTW, great website! Kudos to Michael!)
