Subject: RE: BS: Depression and Anxiety
MG plays "Everybody Does it" the TA game which allows him to rationalize his questionable (psychopathic) behavior. If he can get other people mad enough to lash out at him, he can rationalize his
brutal aggressiveness. Ho hum, pal. I see through your psychopathy.
Why not go to a good therapist and work on your own problems?

Rationalization. The subject claims false motives for questionable behavior, or downplays the importance of a threat with false reasoning. The classic example is Aesop's fable of the fox and the sour grapes. "Everybody does it" (steals, cheats, lies, etc.) and "it's for your own good" are common rationalized covers for uncomfortable motives.
