You're just trying to make me crazier
than I already feel.
Don't tell me things I don't want to know. I won't let you scare me. Don't be afraid of what you don't know. It might help you. |

inferior. You don't get it.
You're delusional. Get some help. |

I don't know anything and what I do
know is wrong. I'm so ashamed.
You're just trying to make me feel bad about what I know. You poor thing. You're as bad off as I am. |

It doesn't matter because nothing
really matters.
You don't really care about anything either. Not really.
It's okay you don't have all the
answers. No one does.

I can't believe I didn't know this.
What a fool I have been.
Based on what I already knew, now I know more than you do. Let me teach you what you need to know. |
Recognizing when playing a role in the Drama
Triangle is vital to growing and learning. Breaking out of the Drama Triangle
requires self reflection to overcome a resistance to accepting and integrating
new information.
