Separateness and Connection instead of Fusion or Cut off

• Taking everything the other says personally. Reacting with attack, defence or hurt withdrawal.
• Needing the other to agree with us all the time
• Expecting the other to solve our problems or make us feel good
• Wanting the other to take our side against people we have a conflict with
• Mind reading the other. Completing their sentences. Interrupting. Assuming we know what they think.
• Thinking more about the relationship than our own responsibilities
