So I have a reasonable discussion with my former friend Chris C. I am very fond of Chris. He has contributed many things to my life. But he tends to have what I think of as "psychotic breaks" directed at me. We talk, he stews, and next morning he lets fly his mighty hammer. "What a bad person you are", he says to me. "You must go away and never talk to me again".
I am not sure what causes this but I suspect it has to do with his obsession with psychotherapy and the fact that I reject it as pseudoscience. So he takes something I say to mean that I renounce my old beliefs and accept psychotherapy as the true path and then is infuriated when he discovers that this is not the case.
I just dont like being zapped by lightning bolts after listening to him complain all night.
We must do a better job of choosing friends.
People tell me that the visual effects industry is filled with weird and competitive assholes. Maybe that is true, or maybe it is just an unfortunate sample from a larger group of nice(r) people.
