Hurting The Ones We Love

That's alright sookie. I wasn't looking for advice. I brought it up as a point of discussion, since it seems to be a common theme in many people's lives.

Familiarity breeds contempt - and children.

I think some people such as yourself may feel comfortable knowing you have those friends in your life that will take you back no matter what. You know they will be there if the "shit hits the fan" (so to speak), but you don't need them there 24/7. The potential problem with that is 1 day those people in your life (or others lives) just may say, "the hell with you" & when you do need them they won't welcome you back. Sure it may not happen, BUT you can run that risk.

I also think too that the reason you are more for the aquaintances is because there isn't a fear of them getting to know you deeply, plus you having to get to know them deeply as well.

Your close friends/family know all the ins & outs, probably have been there through all the good times & bad & maybe that makes you feel a bit uncomfortable.
