Every time the discussion moves into the realm of real experience, and people here start having conver- sations that she can't join in because she's never had any of those experiences, within a couple of days she will start an argument about petty things to bring the level of the conversation down to a level she is comfortable with. It's a ten-year pattern on a.m.t. The appropriate reaction is not frustration but pity.
