[QUOTE=Sisabel;6413198]So this is really obvious yet somehow I could never see it...

I’ve posted here about wanting to make friends and to build healthy friendships. I’ve been sad that I just don’t form lasting friendships. I’ve been working on this and I’ve been trying to be more mindful of my emotions and behaviors.

It's wonderful, Sisabel, that you've had this flash of understanding. Congratulations. I wish you the very best in your pursuit of friendships. I imagine that with your experiences and depth you would make a wonderful friend.

Now my experience with this kind of sudden insight is that as wonderful and true as it is, you have to end up working it just as you are right now. It's kind of a long process.

But again - congrats! May many wonderful friendships come your way.
