Tell me all about it, dear...

Wow. Powerful stuff. I hope you and your friend end up reconciled when all is said and done. Good for you for resolving to be your own hero. Reminds me of that famous saying comparing atheism to theism: "Morality is doing what is right, regardless of what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told, regardless of what is right." Best of luck to you.

This has been a lifelong struggle for me, too. Sometimes, we just need a place to go when the physical world has let us down too much. Now I address this problem like this: I sit down in a quiet spot and start asking questions. If I can't even ask questions, I ask for comfort. Then, I sit and wait. I don't judge, try to predict or try to figure anything out. I just remain open to whatever happens next. Inevitably, I get responses. They're often exactly what I need to hear. I don't worry too much about where those responses are coming from. Maybe it's my subconscious, maybe it's someone else's subconscious, maybe it's the plant, maybe it's the cat. For me, it doesn't really matter where it's coming from because it helps. I don't know, maybe it'll help you. As much as this stuff sucks, I think it's healthy that you're allowing yourself to look at your feelings.

No answers here. Heading up on a half a century and people still baffle me sometimes. I can not teach my son how to be a friend because I don't know how (I know what I consider a friend but I seem to be alone in my definition and thus alone). What i think doesn't matter but for what it is worth, I have decided that I can do nothing about how the world perceives me but I can control how I act and if I act with compassion and respect then life is what it is. You seem a kind and compassionate soul and my life is made better by knowing you, even in a limited sense. I wish you Peace
