Yes, I am trying to keep the focus on ME. No, I don't play games with people and don't put on any shows. I don't have an tricks up my sleeve. I am pretty much an open book and that has really come back to bite me.
I prefer to have a few close friends than a lot of acquantainces. I agree with you on that aspect. That is one of my goals, being an authenic person, a real person. I have plenty of flaws like we all do, but being ME is all I have to do. It's all any of us have to do, just be ourselves.
Heavy, I don't think you being an open book has come back to bite you. I think it has given you some hard truths- and the truth is that those people were not true friends of yours. Keep on being yourself. Life is too short for games. You are conducting yourself with dignity and authenticity during a crisis. How many people can say that?
