Asuyuka,

I get what you are saying.

In one way, you isolate yourself to be safe from people who don't care or take advantage of others.

On the other hand, you miss the contact with people who are kind, caring and would never abuse you.

I understand that catch 22 totally.

I take on what I can handle, even if it's as little as 2 people who are trustworthy. How do I know? I respect what they do with their life. They have integrity because they are still good and caring even when people aren't watching. You get that?

So, having a few touchstones is a great way to hear your name, and feel nedded or purposeful.

I appreciate your post.

Thanks for your honesty.

Someone told me once, that the thing I most need, I should do for others.
So, at the time I needed help..so I gave it everywhere I saw a need.
Wouldn't you know, the next time i really, really needed to be supprted, it was there, out of nowhere.
Life workd like that, on our energies.

If you need love, give love.
So on, so forth.

I wish you happiness and lots of attention - only what you want though (:

Be happy
nightbird
