Elana05 I'm right with you on that note! I don't know why, but I let other peoples emotions get the best of me all the time, and it wears me out too. I always feel the blame when it could clearly be the other person's fault. Meeting people has always been a hard thing for me, acceptance is my biggest issue. I want everyone to like me because I have a sincere heart and don't mean no harm to no one, and some peoples attitudes makes me mad on the outside but very sad within. So in turn like yourself, I would rather be alone. I can entertain myself at anytime... yet lonely doing so. However, knowing you don't have to worry about pleasing others and letting them take you on a emotional roller coaster is like you say...."so much more free and comfortable".
