Gordie: Pulling it all together 2

[Rose888]

I think I missed something. Why are you doing LRT?

Do you think not pursuing is the same thing as LRT?

Are you generally a distant person? I ask, because I'm not. I tend toward over sharing. So when people say, "act like you're talking to a neighbor" that doesn't mean the same thing for all of us.

Iknow our situations are different, and those differences might be key here, but for me, distancing backfired. It was far more effective for me to be me but to work on living my life without letting the situation with H affect my mood.

So in that way, it was like a neighbor. If I see my neighbor, we talk, I ask about her day, I talk about mine, I commiserate if she's having a bad day--but her bad day does not make me have a bad day.

Not sure any of this is useful, but hopefully something in there sparks an idea.
