I know what you mean. Where I worry on "standing" is that sometimes it (can) mean "I'm here for you no matter what and no matter how you treat me!".. and that's not so healthy. I don't think you're being a fool, far from it.
Wow that is so cool that my post to CW got you going to meetups! That really made me smile. I'm so glad you found a good friend there, too. I know you're more of an introvert but it does the soul good to have friends to hang with, too.
