What other relationships in your life have you exhibited "non" tendencies?
«

My T made passing mention a few weeks back about, perhaps I am acting my "non" behaviors out in other relationships as well as my marriage. I was silently stifled as I immediately understood the question and its likelihood at a deep gut level.
So, though it has taken a few weeks to get into it in my mind, I have started to think through my work, friend and family of origin relationships for signs of my "non" behavior. The more time I have spent thinking about it the more examples that have come up for me where I was definitely doing this.
In particular, I have always had a hang up about an old friend that keeps replaying in my mind over and over again. I see this person from time to time (reinforcement) and talked with them very recently. Knowing what I have learned from this site, I clearly see that this friendship has similar relation qualities where I played out my Non behaviors against the backdrop of his Narcissistic tendencies.
All this made me a little (more) depressed to recognize I am a "non" in more than just romantic relationships.
Anyone else come to this as a personal conclusion? Have you found that your "non" behaviors are in multiple parts of your life?
How deep does the rabbit hole go? I am getting older and sometimes wonder if I have enough time for all this awareness to make a difference for me.
