How Do STS's View Other Selves?

[Night Owl]

I look at it like this, do you take responsibility for everything you see, think, feel, and do, or do you project blame and pass responsibility onto others so that the cause of how you feel can remain beyond what you define yourself and your power to create to be?  The power manipulation and control people often speak about related to the STS path is just a natural effect of a reality in which one passes responsibility for how they feel onto others.  example - I'll be happy when you do this, or I'm angry because you made me angry, vs I'll be happy because its who I am, or I'm angry because I'm dissapointed with something within myself that I'm seeing reflected through you.  STO sees itself as the cause of how it perceives others, and STO changes itself so as to affect change in its environment.  STS sees itself as the effect of how others view it, and therefor STS manipulates and changes it's environment in order to justify and allow for desired changes to occur within itself.

I honestly think that the only answer you really need here papercut is this one. The others are relevant to other members than yourself but I feel like this one holds much of what I feel you are seeking. The rest is up to you to answer your own questions. Others are simply there to offer you different perspectives to consider. If you feel like there is no room for your freewill maybe you can ask yourself honestly if you give yourself that space. Nobody can take it from you unless you let them get to you.
