Chat/Internet is acting weird and bipolar these days. This has caused me to ask- "Am I here?"- a shocking number of times in a day. To illustrate, a recent conversation with TQ
Holy Cow: Hello? Am I here?!
(Silence)
Holy Cow: I need you so I can find myself!
TQ: Yes. I am right here :)
Such sweet words! Music to my ears! Oh! And the joy on hearing that I was in fact present at the scene of the chat and I did in fact exist.
This really takes Winnicott's theory of being able to be only when you find yourself reflected back through the other, to another level now doesn't it!
