I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

used the combination of above and it kinda worked. He said that it was a "cute attempt to manipulate" and suddenly agreed to make a doctor's appointment for June 1st. If he keeps his promise it would be the best progress I made in the past year.
thank you!
Check up on him before June 1st and ask him if he's going. Just in case he develops a temporary "amnesia" as the term starts getting closer...
