I love the case studies in the back of the book. Really good practice.

Yeah, it sounds like I'm seriously guilty of grasshopper....but I don't think it's a trust issue so much for me, like I've heard with other ENFs, because I usually think well of the other person. I think it's more of a pride-protective thing -- I want to control my vulnerability & the sides of me that I share so that I have some control over their perception of me. I think I easily feel so judged even when I'm not, so that is a way of managing that on my end.
I'm guilty of mindreading & probably 1/2 a dozen of other ones!
, I need to read that book, it sounds really good.
