There you go, seeing anger where none exists. Is humor beyond you?

Don't worry. We're all neurotic in some ways, and neuroses can escalate to
detatchment for any of us if we let it. Wellness is measured in mere
degrees, remember.

Back to the point:
The BF Contessa isn't insecure. She's pathological. That's not just human
weakness. That's illness.

I deal with mental patients daily. I'm the director of nursing in a nursing
home that takes patients ready for discharge from extended stay hospital
residencies (state hospitals) but who will likely never be able to return to
the community. In other words, I work with mental patients every day. We
have one at this moment who reminds me of the BF Contessa constantly, but
I've seen others before her and I'm sure to see more in the future.

Why do you ask?
