So you would internalise the fact that he doesn't hate you...

I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm not sure he would go so far as to help me internalize things. I'm not sure why he decided to hug me and tell me it's okay to love him. Maybe you are right. Maybe he wants me to know that he doesn't hate me and doesn't want bad things to happen to me. Now I can put those thoughts to rest.

I'm going to try to remember how others are in pain now whenever I'm happy. I'm going to try to be a better person. I have to notice other people more....really listen. I have to learn to be a better listener, read between the lines, try to put myself in other people's shoes.
