Sorry if that's the way I came across. I was saying that some of us feel defective too -- or have been told that we are. But being told that you are "defective" (and even believing it) doesn't make it true. A broken bone might be called a defect -- but it can be healed. It is just a broken bone (or heart) -- not some permanent condemnation of you as a person. I think that is how you are taking it. Please have some pity upon your self.
