I like your comment about people not understanding who you are anyway :-). But I don't feel that way, I am fairly the same everywhere - atleast for a long time now. Maybe there are some deep parts of me that I don't show my friends.. but other than that, I am fairly the same. But I guess being able to show these deep parts is really what matters the most.

> Ah. I like it. I don't need to watch soap opera's anymore ;-) But it can affect you a lot if you get personally involved. I hear you there.Yeah I do have a tendency to get very involved personally with people. That is why sometimes I keep myself to myself.

> Antidote: Post about your problems too. That way it becomes reciprocal. There isn't anything wrong with feeling good about helping / being able to help others. Only when you think you 'know best' and think 'why are they so stupid they can't see this'. It is so very much harder to be objective about yourself...I have posted my problems and got immense support here. I was brought with the notion of being selfish is good - so I have little difficulty in coming to terms with feeling good with helping others. But I can understand it more now.
