It does, and it wont improve you chances for a date either. I mean - this implies that when you finally hook up with someone, you will dump your friends, and ask her to do the same?
And worse, I get easily irritated and let it spill over on people, specially if they try to lend a hand for support. I will become a grumpy old man when I get there, I am sure.
I learned to handle it better, but everytime I feel sad or disapointed this feeling of "let me be alone or I'll bite" shows up. Not very nice feeling at all - it has it's roots in not trusting people.
The only one that ever managed to break through that barrier is the one I spend my love on today.
Good thread, interesting comments (I am taking notes, believe me).
RE: Do you lough if you see someone fall down while walking.
I laugh at my self for tripping, bumping my head or what ever it is I am up to at the moment (got lots of training).I only laugh when I see people trying to walk through glass doors, their falling do not do the same thing, I worry more they hurt their head.
