That's not fair.....you make them feel guilty, and you WANT off of them, no matter how small or insignificant, attention, money, sympathy. When I need to learn something, I go out and teach myself. Too many people want to borrow off other people, stability, and things like that. And even when they do get it, they never took it from that person. It's always inside them in the first place....They just don't want to look.

Part of being a true friend is learning to share the good with the bad. If you lock your friends out for one or the other, you will eventually have no friends.[/QUOTE]That is true too an extent, but trust me, I ain't ever gonna run out of friends. What I am saying, is I don't burden them with my problems. They just see the good happy side of me, and not the sad, depressed side of me. How can that harm a friendship?

And Mel, I suppose it did come out a little like that, in exactly the same way. When your offering strongly opiniated views, you sometimes totally miss what you yourself are saying!! OOPS!
