Quote: Do you want to be the type of person who is friendly, outgoing and just plain happy on the outside, showing people that you are whole and comfotable in the shoes that you walk in?
Or do you want to be the type of person who seems to be the grumpy old ogre to those people who are being friendly with you?
I am just so not the grumpy old ogre... can't even get a visual on that one. But you're sure right that my emotions get in the way. And I was grumpy to H last week for the first time in a long while-- in part in reaction to that.
I guess I wonder if I want to put myself in a situation where the issue even comes up. Because I wouldn't intentionally be "unfriendly" to my H if he approached me.
I guess I'm trying to figure out if I wish to set the ground rules or leave the whole thing more open.
I think you helped me answer some of my questions. Thank you!
