I'm not sure I was clear about what I was saying, because it's not a lie:
It's not Them who have dominion over whether you can connect closely with people or not; it's not Them who make Valentine's Day suck for you, it's not Them who make your life insecure or disconnected or lonely or discontent or unfulfilled. Your state -- your way of being -- has absolutely nothing to do with what Them does or says or thinks.
As you say, LordSappington, it's just you and your head, and although you may see it as inordinately dangerous, another way of looking at it is that it's inordinately POWERFUL. You have all the power in the world to change what's going on with you and your head, regardless of the thoughts, actions, or words of anyone else.
It's not THEM who has any power over whether or not you love your life, it's YOU who holds ALL the power.
