thanks pegasus, long time no see. I am seeing this same pattern play out in most all my relations.
Any praise I get is from someone who knows not whether I deserve it or not, or if I am commented on by someone in the know, they have nuthin to say good or at all.
Makes me feel less than (dirt). trying to communicate better to some today that I need and what I need. I think this is the first step.
