You can still learn from those people, you can still enjoy their company. When it comes to family and the button pushing, I think you can view it as a growth experience. See if they still manage to push that button. And when they don't, you realise that's no longer an issue for you/you don't care if they try because you don't feel any need to react to it. |
Yes, there are many people who grow and learn through experience without formally getting into PD. In fact, I love meeting such people. Sometimes, you meet them in the most unexpected places.
I am still learning to deal with family. One valid alternative, as Roxy suggested is to leave them. That is not so difficult for me as we are not very intimate. Quite the opposite actually. I do try to view it as a growth experience and with practice I am sure I will get better. And my family will make sure that I get enough practice.
