You, Margaret deserve it. : I don't want to lose control or power. And more often than not- I always end up feeling that my power, space, leverage, is so minimal and scarce - whenever I risk reaching out to someone- there's always that need to 'keep the distance' with them - lest they step too much in my 'space', and take over what little control and power I have left... : So basically I know that is the main reason why I am alone more often than not- hard to give up power and space in exchange for not being alone. : I guess I could have got a better response from others had i structured it more of - any one else feel/deal with the same struggle: being alone with no power/space vs. being powerless (thus helpless) when in th company of another?
