Hi Candybear --

I am sorry you are feeling blue about this. I think Zen has some wise things to say about reading the Rejection Sensitivity thread.

As I mentioned somewhere on another thread, during this past year of staying in the homes of so many people, one thing I've noticed is that very few people of my acquaintance have social lives that I would call "humming." Few phone messages to come home to: Longstanding friends know when we are home and call then. And really rather infrequent contact with friends and family.

I probably gravitate toward other introverts and loners, but still -- Our lives are not a Friends or Seinfeld episode. I wonder if the success of these shows is because so much of America is at home, alone, wistfully wishing our lives offered those kind of constant, you-can-count-on-em relationships. And now that I think of it, these shows also were pretty absent of any relationship problems that couldn't be solved pretty easily and within a half-hour.

Don't give up on us, CB.
