I've been coming to some realizations lately too. For instance, I'm always getting mad when a friend goes somewhere and doesn't invite me along. An example would be like when my friend called me from her car on the way to the movies one time to ask me about a restaurant (we live fairly close to each other). I felt slighted because she didn't ask me along knowing I love movies and we have yet to see one together. I was really quite mad about it.
Then I started to see a parrallel with a friendship I severed a few months ago. I started thinking,"You know, I want people to invite me places because they enjoy my company and want me around, and if they don't feel that, I can't get mad at them for it".
Its kind of a painful lesson, but it has really giving me food for thought. I'm still thinking it through, and am not quite sure what to do with this knowledge, but I think maybe I've actually had a breakthrough or something!
Oh, and by the way, you can call me Tex, or Billy Bob, or cowpoke (I'm not ever sure what that means) or whatever you want. I'm not sensitive about southern analogies. Just as long as you remember I *don't* like country music! :-)
