What you say has been something that I too have thought of. I've let very few people into my life over the years, historically, focusing on one main person. Now there are a handful. I've a lot colleges, but they are distant from me, and what they do doesn't affect me. But the closer they get the more what they do or don't do does, both good or bad. I pride myself in my openness and my consistency. They are my strengths, but when does a strength become a weakness? With being open I connect and share things too soon. Which probably lead to my loosing my employment a few weeks ago. I was unhappy and I expressed it. It got back to my boss. I know its a good thing thing, but I don't know what I want to do now. Being consistent to my giving nature, I don't know when to stop.
One of my friends has asked me if I mistrust them, with projection (something I told them about), they ask how I'm not being trusting. Go figure.
To become who I want to be, I'll have to learn to deal with these complex people, even though myself, I enjoy being simple.
Tangents, I've been off line for 2-3 weeks.
