ABSTRACT
The author continues his tumultuous search for the other by exploring the issues of me-ness as originally conceived by Sullivan: Good Me, Bad Me and Not Me. These Me's are senses of self as cocreated between the self and significant others. Human beings seek the other in order to nourish their soul, and yet both I and You are limited to how much otherness each soul can bear. These limitations stem from the profound fears of Not Me, of shame, of too-muchness and of total abandonment. The author ends this chapter with the wished-for joy of sensing with no shame the eyes of a True Other as they see all of our Me's.
