You know, Tad, you feel what you feel. So, you love your pet a lot. You feel badly that she isnt doing well. You dont have to question it.

Given your childhood, I understand why you are afraid to get attached to people. But thats not really a way to live, right?

I kind of get the feeling that after you go out or something, you are expecting this uplifting of sorts. It doesnt quite work that way.

You have to push yourself some, T. Force yourself to get out there even when you dont feel like it. The more you are around people, the more chance you have of feeling better and better.

You are in control of you. Make some decisions to consistently push yourself. Keep trying, Tad. You never know whats out there. smile
