A sham? An ego propping farce? I can be so supportive that I feel like I have taken on another persons issues which is not good when I am in need of help at times myself. I can at times feel what somebody in the next room is feeling. It can be disabling when being in crowded places. Grrr....... Sigh.

Dont mind me. Not quite myself.
Thanks for this!
