You're right, I shouldn't make sweeping generalizations. I know I have some friends and I'm very grateful for that.

I know I come across needy in relationships and I can't deny that is true but how do you change that? I was going to elaborate on that but I've changed my mind but I will state that I'm really misunderstood too but nobody cares to listen. They always think they *know* me when they don't know me at all. That's happened so many times. Each time they didn't give me a chance, they didn't want to hear anything from me. I lost what I thought was a very dear friend that way last summer.
