I agree with alot of what all of you who responded to my last post had to say. You all are not who I have problems with. I have had problems with some few others on my friends list, though ... some I have known and been friends with IRL ... some I met thru others ... some I only know thru LJ.

I am NOT talking about needing attention or constant care ... I just don't understand why someone would add you to their friends list and then constantly undermine "friend interaction" by NEVER commenting or replying ... what is the purpose of that???

I used to think I wanted to cultivate alot of friends ... a whole network of them even ... a misguided idea at best ... right now ... i would rather have a "friends list" that truly means what it implies.

I lost my self for a moment of cowardice and guilt ... if I follow the path back to my self, hopefully all will be well.
