Jennifer, I'm really sorry. I think it's more likely that your friends don't know what they SHOULD be asking about, rather than every single one of them being dolts, but I'm sure you're past the point of giving them the benefit of the doubt. Sounds as though you've tried that already
I always follow your posts because you seem like an interesting, intelligent, and grounded young woman. I'd love to see you soar. You're doing all of the right things, it seems, so I hope that time is all that's necessary.
Have you ever tried groups like MeetIn and MeetUp? Or activity partners on Craigslist?
Hang in there - I'm paying attention and I care.
LMo
(ps - how's school? have you seen any good movies lately? what's happening with your ex and your married friend?)
