I didn't mean to offend you. I was afraid I'd offend someone... My mother was a contractor for the Army and... we didn't get a long. She was very dense... What I mean by dense is closed-minded, obstinate (willful), unreasonable, egocentric and controlling. She's a black and white Type A personality. She can't think outside of the box. My case manager's the same way. Yes, it's my case manager. He's also the most important gatekeeper in my life right now. He's extremely closed-minded, to the point that 9 out of 10 questions in his "Healthy Relationships" class (held every other week)... 9 out of 10 questions I got wrong because they weren't
his answers. He's a very poor listener... And he ignored me for hours on two occassions--very unprofessional. I was trained in customer service in the Air Force... One should not treat customers/clients that way.
I've met dense people who were Army veterans, Air Force veterans (my acquaintance with the emotional IQ of a spatula is an Air Force vet)... Dense people come in all shapes and sizes. My mother was Army strong and Army dense... If one wasn't strong (if one showed signs of weakness), she disliked the person right away and made it clear. My case manager's like that. He's made it clear to me what he thinks of me--how little he thinks of me.
I've met people who were in the Army who were kind, open-minded, intelligent... It all has to do with training (socialization) and if one's been taken over by ego or not.
