Judging from your Dear T post earlier--making other people happy may make us happy, but it's secondary to making ourselves happy.

Be selfish. Make yourself happy. That might make others happy too. Like your husband was pleased you told him to buzz off about your driving last weekend.

i guess that's why i can't keep trying to just make other people happy. because other people are going to interpret things i say and do in their own way, any way they want to, anyway regardless of and despite my intention, so i can't worry about anybody else.
