To be able to enjoy associating with people. To not spend so much of my time and energy "protecting" myself. To be able to deal with problems straight on, without having to enter into all kinds of maneuvers to keep myself safe while dealing with them. To feel my emotions. Not to have to rely on oral satisfactions as much as I do.
