*ITT: I will tell you what defense mechanism(s) you frequently use, and possibly why you use them*

lol, i love this shit...

go ahead and hit me up V --- I try to self evaluate a shit load to improve as person, and somewhat ironically, this thread made me self evaluate my self evaluation process haha...

So the first thing that came to mind for me was that I probably over-rely on a somewhat subjective sense of 'altruism' as a key defense mechanism --- but again, I like what you do, so drill deep with the truth so it hurts just enough that I make the move to feel better :)
