The question is then are you just skin covering a metallic skeleton, or are you liquid metal?
I think you very concisely described what Corri mentioned earlier. FEAR is what drives us to do things we shouldn't and exist in situations that we really deep down don't want to be in. I personally can see how my fears have gotten me where I am. I have been afraid to fully commit to my W because I am unsure whether she will respond, given our history. Could this be the common thread that is driving all of our situations, fear of true intimacy? Some of us respond by insulating ourselves through conflict avoidance or becoming "LD." Others respond through extreme anger. A few of us respond by seeking a temporary fix outside the M where if you get rejected it is easier to rationalize your failure. Could it be that many of the HD people on this board, even though we desire intimacy more than just about anything else, are being held back by our OWN fear of intimacy, of doing what is necessary to acheive that intimacy. Or is my brain just vomiting random thoughts today?

p.s. Now I am wondering who you were sent back in time to kill
