Dear Anita,

Interesting point you brought up, you never have. And yes to all of the above, he does all that and more.

The issue is, we enjoy being social – how to be social but not “be” with those people? How to enjoy others company in small selected portions, but not “be” anywhere else.  We are quite social (on weekends) but in small selected doses.  Often have people visiting, events, large circle of people, etc. etc

My sister is someone I enjoy time with, in small selected portions.  She has been helpful in the sense that she understands me and the background – but that isn’t really helpful – it is RELATABILITY.

you are right, no one has been helpful, no one truly cares in that way.  you are right. no one else is important.

selectively redirect. I have the power to redirect, I have achieved so much in a short amount of time in this past, so therefore, I too can redirect this energy.
