You're so welcome. Personally, I'm a giving person by nature...being warm, friendly, polite, being a good listener...all very important to me.
At the same time, walking through the grocery store smiling and saying "hello" to people and receiving stone-faces in response - or worse, people staring at their cell phone screen while pushing their grocery cart...how many smiles and hellos does it take before the incongruousness between my effort to be friendly and the terrible hurt I feel inside just becomes too much of a burden?
It's very, very difficult to be an ultra-sensitive person with a mental illness and not become jaded. So I certainly understand what you've described.
Btw, I'm curious...does your mom truly not have the money she asks you for?
