So do you ever have those moments where you feel one way even though you are trying to think another? It seems like your emotions don't always respond logically to things... I guess now that I say that, it sounds like a no-brainer, but it just seems like one of those wierd contradictions we/I seem to go through so often. Why do our heart and our mind work seperately? It really does cause problems for me...
For instance, today: One of my friends essentially had a problem, but didn't want me to help them with it. Now I KNOW that it was nothing personal or anything like that, but I'm a fixer and if something is wrong, I want to help. I figure people listen to and help me deal with my bad days when they happen, so when they have one, it is my turn to do the same for them. That's what friends are for isn't it and aren't I a friend? Anyway, needless to say, despite knowing he didn't intend to hurt my feelings, my heart felt a little bit of a twinge and I felt myself recoil a little bit back into the shadows, not to venture out on THAT limb again for quite some time.

hey there, hon. i'm sorry about the rebuff there - hurt feelings are a pain (!) even when it's unintentional.
sometimes people just want some time to deal with it on their own...but they'll appreciate your support in other ways. i always do. :-)
