Dharma/Karma does things in stages in my life. For a couple decades I was continually being beset by the Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disordered. I learned that Karma does pay back in big ways.
Now that that's done (kainainhora), I am barraged by people who complain about their lives, and are in denial about the causes:
*The acquaintance who is continuing in a relationship with a guy, and then wondering why he mistreats her, and she won't leave him, and she wonders why she feels miserable
*Another acquaintance who has his blinders on, repeatedly complains about how his brother is jacking up the business, and then refuses to cut him loose
*This same acquaintance with blinders who is upset that his "girlfriend" is breaking up with him, even though she has an extremely inflated "resume" refuses to check up if she is telling the truth
This is just a short post, but my response is "Arrrrggghhhh!"
Perhaps the Dharma/Karma is trying to teach me how to better respond to their incessant complaining about problems they themselves are creating. Perhaps the Carl Rodgers approach would be best. However, after a while, I would probably feel guilty about pretending to actually care what they are saying. Maybe I need to learn how to set a boundary, telling them that I really don't want to hear it.
Now I am convinced that I would have made a shitty psychotherapist.
