Yes, makes sense.

Maybe it's a not a love issue, or that's the wrong word.

Tricky, because love (the word) can mean different things to different people, and there are so many facets to our subtle being. I totally get where you're coming from though, and your view of love. I'm not sure what my view of love is (interesting to articulate though), maybe it's like the natural unforced eminations of my pure being. I wouldn't say love *IS* me; but what the hell, it's just symantics, and what you, me, we all are, is surely behond the crudity of words..

Anyhooo..

I believe it's more like energy loss; and it's been an ongoing issue for me (maybe it's something we all do to a degree), placing my attention out there, seeking to get emotional nourishment from other people. Rather than finding and connecting with an internal source of nourishment, within me.

I've just had a major incident with the gas man which has really had me stressing ...

I've come to a conclusion though; it's way more important how you treat other people (your own honesty and integrity), than how they treat you. One reflects your own value, the other reflects only theirs.

EDIT: Though of course, it's never fun to have the feeling you're being ripped off.
