What an excellent explanation! Which gives me an idea. When a child demonstrates this kind of behavior it needs some kind of specific attention. Something important has been ignored and he is afraid to ask for it. Find out what you are ignoring about yourself and are afraid to face. It might be scary but better to face it and deal with it then go through life this way. I guess you are a parent to your inner child and not a bad one, just inexperienced.NotCreepy said:It's like walking around all day with a silly child at your side who constantly acts up, and you get looks as if you are a bad parent.
