This is more of a warning to people whom it concerns rather than a cry for help or advice. I know my flaw. I understand it. I may not have conquered it, but I know how to spot it. I don't blame anyone else for it. It doesn't bring me despair.

I have a habit of thinking about the bad qualities of people whose company I enjoy (perhaps a bit too much) so I don't get too attached to the good qualities in them. I've been doing that quite a bit lately with some people. Whether it's me keeping my feet on the ground and a well-rounded judgment or just pushing the person away is sometimes unclear to me. Nevertheless, it is good to assess the bad in a person. Do the good points outweigh the bad? I guess I'll find out. I simply must do my best not to tip the scales in my mind just to satisfy my anxiety and distrust with people. It's very easy for me to push people away when I get too close. I feel comfortable at a distance.

That said, I don't feel in turmoil as I think about this. I feel that it's something I just need to...monitor. I don't want to be close with everyone, but sometimes this feeling misguidedly affects people I would want to be close with. I don't know - I view my relationships with people in levels of closeness. I just have to make sure to keep proper track of what I feel those levels should be.
 
Barb, you're one of the sweetest people on this forum :D You'll always be my homoerotic life partner! I love the song!
 
Well I like you doubt. Maybe its just because you're sexy. *thinking* why do I like you? Well I wrote a story about you. I admire how you take care of your sister. Your bluntless would probably hurt my feelings a lot if we got close to each other. I think you're a good person though.
 
Haha, I'm sorry :p My bluntness annoys a lot of people. But I usually apologize if I realize I've hurt someone unintentionally. I like you too. I think your ideas towards the care of people with mental health issues are admirable and you have some very good plans on how to put them to action. I hope you don't ever lose sight of them because they can change people's lives for the better one day! :eek:
 
You love me bunny, admit it. You think I am perfect in every single way. :D
