I would love to do something about our communication problems. As it stands, he always goes back to, "you should be able to be yourself." He says that it is as if I have to purge every feeling as I am having it- and he cannot handle that because he feels responsible for my feelings. He always says, "I know this is MY issue, and YOU shouldn't have to change."
I always say back,"there are some things that i need to change. You have to trust that I am making decisions based on what I want for my life, not solely to fit better into YOURS."
For instance, I do not think of myself as a negative person. But, if you guys are telling me that i am coming off that way, well, then I want to work on fixing it. It is not because i want so desperately to fit in with you all, but because I do strive to be a better person. Don't get me wrong, you are a really cool group of people.....
