Alternatively, Name That DSM-IV Disorder. Also a fun one. Sometimes, we're even trying to figure it out about ourselves.<br /><br />I once heard someone say that (para-phrasing) we are self-absorbed 80% of the time. It's what we do with the other 20% that really counts.Just Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861216483398553225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-71619290757526379372012-02-27T11:58:24.138-08:002012-02-27T11:58:24.138-08:00Buffy doesn't destroy, she saves the world.

I am constantly fascinated by the idea of "overriding" our default settings to become better people.

Working where I do, I have lost track of the number of allegedly adult men who have actually used the phrase, "It's not fair!" sincerely to me, after taking offense at some decision that had little or nothing to do with them. Actually, Cranky Boss Lady, at my former job, had many moments of slipping backward developmentally. I said to her more than once, "I don't understand how you get to be the age you are and still somehow think that life is fair and all about you." <br /><br />I think I know that it's not all about me, but I'm pretty sure all of these people have been sent into my life solely to teach me an important lesson. ;)Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-7004459951956392692012-02-27T06:39:05.243-08:002012-02-27T06:39:05.243-08:00Well put!

I try and try to explain to his siblings that he isn't standing in front of the TV to bug you. It's the best place for him to see and he just isn't thinking about how you feel. He is making progress tho. Recently, his brother got new shoes and he told him they looked cool. Brought tears to my eyes that he was able to look outside himself.Julie DeMillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17929034148906710834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-90061330090930991952012-02-25T13:55:16.126-08:002012-02-25T13:55:16.126-08:00My memory of Developmental Psych is that many adul...My memory of Developmental Psych is that many adults never make it to formal operational but remain stuck in concrete. Even there, you are supposed to be past the worst of egocentricity. I guess we should just be glad that everyone is not stuck in sensorimotor and sticking our blogs in their mouths all the time. That would really be tiresome.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644569152748119356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923792986438866285.post-69460304022538113322012-02-25T13:23:25.538-08:002012-02-25T13:23:25.538-08:00Excellent, and spot on!

Sometimes, I stop and wonder what developmental stage some "adult" is actually in, despite the fact that they should be in Formal Operational Stage. (sometimes that adult is me...yuck!). Anyway, something about this reminded me of a Unitarian Universalist Sermon I delivered recently, which I thought might interest you: <a href="http://reasonable-thought.blogspot.com/2012/01/do-we-know-what-we-believe-or-do-we.html" rel="nofollow">http://reasonable-thought.blogspot.com/2012/01/do-we-know-what-we-believe-or-do-we.html</a>@NativeMikeAdamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08446931065863021549noreply@blogger.com
