Not sure I ever had a base… my compass worked fine but I lived in a context where people made me believe it didn’t. So I listened to them, for years, and years, and then to other people like them, and adjusted, “repaired”. Now, I realize the compass worked fine but I made a whole big mess with it and all this extra wiring is taking forever to remove, deep ingrained in the code. Logically, I understand it, yet emotional and behaviorally something does not work.
Anyway, thank you for attending my psychoanalysis session
