well, i guess my emet is also to do with social phobia.
*graphic a little*

i mean as a kid who's v*, you're supposed to help them right? not do nothing and not care!

I don't even remember how many times i v*d in that trigger experience, but so many and I can totally understand how that would be terrifying for a small child who's father was not being supportive when I'd be told I could rely on him for support.

I read in my thrive book, that the chances of me developing emet if my dad had calmed me down in that situation and cared about me, would be virtually impossible to have developed it, and that does make me angry unfortunately.

Can I ask others thoughts/experiences? Did you still develop emet even if you had a lot of support in that situation? Thing is, I think this emet truly is unique for every one of us, so it is possible that if someone had not let you go through the experience yourself you may still have been ashamed or embarrased (the whole reason why I did not want to admit I was ill as a kid).
