Hamster-Bamster....Yes, we are very different this way and it sometimes causes problems. But, normally we balance each other out. I can sometimes be too judgmental, but when it comes to someone I see in trouble or heading that way, I don't mind being the "bad guy." But I do need to remember to respect that he has a different way of doing things. I've been wrong at times with my boundaries and cut people off too soon. In the case of the roommate, I just want the guy to get help before it's too late. Not being directly involved in his life, however, I don't feel comfortable saying anything at this point. As for my friend, I think he's the strongest person I know. I don't have addiction issues and will never know how hard he's worked. He inspires me every time I want to give up on anything.
