Right on!! Nice to know I am not the only person who thinks this way. The only odd thing is that I am female and thus feel misunderstood as being a harsh bitch. I really try to look out for mine and those close to me's interest. It is indeed hard to keep the distance that makes me uncomfortable with lovers, friends when I see the potential to make a good life. It is hard to trust to relinquish the independence and yes, control I have on my own. It is scary inside and out sometimes. Closing off and judging myself and others harshly has become a way of life. Who can we trust more than ourselves? Why should we trust others when it seems they do not meet the standards we have set for ourselves??? Talk to me...I am done venting now...
