Why would I provide proof of something I never claimed?

What I was getting at with the other poster, as well as rubbing his face in his bullshit snark, was dissociation.

Dissociation: In psychology and psychiatry, a perceived detachment of the mind from the emotional state or even from the body. Dissociation is characterized by a sense of the world as a dreamlike or unreal place and may be accompanied by poor memory of the specific events, which in severe form is known as dissociative amnesia.

The term dissociation refers to the act of separating or the state of being separated.

Repressed memories, denial, other terms could fit into this category. PTSD, once called Shell Shock or battle fatigue, is a form of dissociation, as is repressed memories of childhood abuse.
