Hi There,

I know of people that have this "skill". My opinion is that it is a learned skill. For some people, it may be a way to protect themselves from being hurt. For others, it may be that they really don't care about other people as much as they care about themselves. For me, I'm like you. I have a hard time letting go of the people I get close to. When I care about someone, it seems I'll always care about them and that doesn't allow me to let go of them very easily. In the last few years I've had to force myself to let go of my best freind that I've had for over 20 years. She was like my right arm. She has always been such a big part of who I am. Every great once in a while we will talk on the phone just to catch up on each other. I just learned that we really weren't good for one another. Her jelousy with me caused her to do hurtful things to me so it was better that I back way off from her and love her from a distance. As you get older and wiser you may be able to pick up that kind of skill. To know what's good for you and what's not.

Love,
Wendy
