That's exactly what I thought! She actually realized she was doing it, but consciously chose to continue doing it. I had always thought, previous to this, that this was only an unconscious, automatic kind of behaviour. She wasn't embarrassed or uncomfortable about it. It wasn't something she wanted to change. It was just a matter-of-fact observation of herself. She was OK with it - it was acceptable for her.
This is what got me thinking - well, are there actually some people who are happier when their lives are on the whole, directed by other people? I mean, are some people happiest when they're sheep?
I know I'm not.
