Hi Brian

Thank you for sharing that, it means a lot! It helps me understand you.

I don’t mind if you don’t answer questions. Your thoughts and feelings are private and it’s up to you whether you wish to discuss them.

Life is too short to put up with people for years.I doubt many people have the capacity to do such a thing. Were there any specific things those people did that gave you that impression?

There is a saying that you might find helpful. If someone treats you poorly, it says more about them than it does about you. This means the way that people treat each other is often dictated by their internal world. Someone in a good mood is more likely to respond positively even when confronted with challenging circumstances. Whereas someone in a bad mood might respond poorly to everything.

I can understand the difficulty of finding the right balance and appreciate your honesty.

I hope we can continue speaking. I think you communicated your thoughts and feelings very well. I feel this conversation has been meaningful.
