Wonderful. I'd only disagree with one point. I believe those who do have what I call the "Observer" watch in a way which if not loving is supremely tolerant and at least semi-amused. They don't engage in what I call the Hassle.

The Hassle comes from those folks who are watching through their parents' eyes, applying their parents' judgments, beating themselves up with their parents' sticks.

That usually goes on for a lifetime, and is one of the big, big uses for drug use. Drugs quiet that down for a while, temporarily, enough to get a taste of life without it. And then it comes back.

I used to go backpacking for a week at a time without radio, without dog, just to listen to my head. It was the hassle. I couldn't counter it until I heard it, loud and clear, and then could change it.

I don't think it's close to schizophrenia, as those folks seem to be living the observer role rather than watching themselves.
