Clay, in this instance I don't think it's about me doing things right but improving something that creates distress for me. I want to be able to clearly communicate my needs to others.

In the past, I expected people to mind-read me and just know what I needed. When I didn't get it, I felt rejected and became resentful. That builds up and piles on and somewhere down the road, there's a blow-up.

It's a stress and anxiety filled way to live.

I don't want that anymore.

Thanks for making me think about it and clarify what I need.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
