It however appeared that trekr seemed rather angry at me (you even had to delete some words, Adrienne). Look at treker's use of verbs. He uses imperatives: "accept it", "don't read it" then unsollicited advice: "you should learn to trust."
I completly believe in the idea that if you want to change someone, it's probably a part of yourself that you want to change. That is why I invited him (her) to re-read the article. By suggesting this, I am being called defensive. I don't want to get into conflict mode, hence my response "i love you". |
I understand what you meant and the connotation in which it was said. I did not get anger or anything else from your post.
and i agree as well that if you want to change someone you need to change your self.
I just think it was great that you turned the conversation by saying i love you. So, i thought i would say it back since i do love you.
