Rejection & Transactional Analysis

I got rejected last night. My friend Vince tried to fix me this morning. I had a meltdown. He said, "What do you want from me? Do you just want to vent? Gretchen screamed at him, "I just want some sympathy for God's sake." He said, "I' m sorry, but how am I supposed to know that? "Susie started crying and said, "You are supposed to read my mind." Vince then listened and gave me sympathy and stopped trying to fix me. He promised to do this in the future unless I brought something up over and over again. Susan then explained to him that infants need mothers to read their minds so they can get fed, so this is my inner infant. We all have so much to learn about communicating with wounded people.
