What just happened? Have I lost touch with reality? Have I become delusional?
I think the mere fact that you are asking those questions is a good sign.
I think when the dialogue makes no sense, when the behaviour baffles, there are two things to do:
1) have a sanity check with others. Are you the only one seeing this? Are others reaching the same conclusion?
2) if you’re not the only one to find the situation strange then look to the subtext and behind the scenes. What could be the possible reasons behind all of this?
Unfortunately people aren’t always up front and honest about their actions when shame is in the mix.
So, you may have to do some detective work of your own.
