Dear  Cat:

In your note to me you wrote: “healing  is to start protecting my energy and to stop letting in people who won’t respect me or understand me etc. For too long I’ve been an open book, hoping that someone will pick me up and understand me… Now I realise, I am my own book…. and surround myself with other books who are on my wavelength”-

Later on, here on your thread, you asserted yourself with a member and did it very well, if I may say so.  You practiced here what you wrote (quote). The more you practice this in any circumstance of your life, be it on your thread here, in your home, anywhere, the better your well-being.

I used to look at about just anyone as a  potential savior, the one to pick me up from my despair. Oh, how much more despair it was when I was… picked up by the wrong  people. It is so very  important to  be selective, to evaluate a person before becoming vulnerable to that person.
