>I don't think they make pills to fix being human. That's a pretty common failing. My husband's coworkers think he's the most easygoing person alive. My cousin emphasized in my father's eulogy how patient and even tempered he was. My therapist often answers my positive remarks about his patience and even temper with remarks that his family might not agree. And I suspect he's right - I always wonder why anyone would want a personal relationship with their therapist when we've got the best part of them.
I think I'm one of the few people who isn't much different at home than at work. And I'm not sure that's a good thing at all.
