Well, I'm not your mommy, but I think that everyone has good in them. The ability to appreciate beauty, the ability to want good things for themselves. If nothing else . . . and plenty of people have tons of other good things about them.
And here's another thought to toss into the mix . . . Sometimes I think that part of why I don't want to share with my friends is that I know how I think sometimes when they impose on me. Sometimes I'm not very generous. And I'd just hate hate hate for them to feel that way about me. For example, . . . and don't take this wrong . . . but I'd hate for someone to feel about me what you just described. So, knowing myself, I expect - or dread - the same from them. So I limit myself (not being as close to my friends, not accepting their support), to mitigate that risk.
