Well IMHO, and for what that is worth, in order to reach people here, just like in the 'real' world, you really have to make a concerted effort AND you have to have a good attitude. You have to give something of yourself in order to receive anything back worth having. And a lot of people are afraid of being hurt, so they would rather just keep kind of to themselves. Then there are a lot of times when you can really make an effort to get to know someone, and they just disappear on you.. Which just makes it a little more difficult to reach out to others in the future. It's never going to be an easy task, and for me anyway, I am hurt too easily, so I tend to kind of veer away from people at times. And a lesson I just recently learned, thanks to a few of my friends here, is we can't expect others to give more of themselves than they are capable of giving.. All we can do is try, help others when it's possible, and spread as much love and joy as we can and don't fret about the little stuff.. For life is short and time waits for no one...
