One being you hold that exposure of the self is a wrong thing, and the other being that you do not want to eliminate me, despite the fact that doing so would undo all the damage caused by how much you have exposed yourself to me."

I have not said a single thing I did not mean. This includes all my expressed feelings of failure and misery, which I still hold to a degree, though perhaps not as much as a couple of minutes ago. Those feelings clearly agitated you. Why?"
