Cusack, I think that one thing that might help you would be to learn to let things go. I remember when you first posted about the spades game. That was several weeks ago, wasn't it? You might never play with the same players again, but you are still as mad at them as you were at first. It is okay to feel angry, but when you keep feeling angry for this long, your own anger hurts you. Those guys don't even know that you are still mad at them.

People say and do things that hurt. That happens to all of us. Nobody can control what another person does. What we can control is what we do. People do nice things too, like trying to understand and help someone. Could you try to remember the nice things that people do more than you remember the mean things? Also, more people will do nice things if you are nice to them first. I am not saying that you don't already do nice things - just that doing nice things is one of the best ways to get people to be nice to you. Even if it doesn't work all the time (nothing works all the time), it will work some of the time.

Is it worth a try?
