I'm aloof and standoffish sometimes, but friendly and likable other times. I have a lot of friends, but few close ones, and I've never had or been someone's "best" friend.
*hugs* Aw :) You've made my day. I guess I've spent my whole life thinking that while everybody genuinely likes me, there's always someone else they'd rather spend time with - there's someone else they call first to hang out with, someone else they go to in a crisis. I was always one of the last ones picked for teams in school, not because people disliked me, but because they all had stronger loyalties they needed to choose first.
"I don't make close friends easily, but once I do, I'll do anything in my power and I'd sacrifice anything to help them and make them happy." I've experienced this one! Talk about some awesome design work for my bridal shower.
I had no idea negative comments affected you so much. For me, they generally seem to roll off without much notice - for me, the positive comments really stick. I can remember positive comments made years ago. I wonder how many times I've said things that made you sad. I hope not too many =(
Meg, you are awesome. Thanks for helping me to better understand you!
I shall limit myself to one unsolicited comment, unless you seek otherwise. I read the interference part at least. :>
At any rate, my comment is that the only person I know who knows Meg and doesn't think Meg is amazing and talented is Meg. We have a tendency to measure ourselves by our perceived shortcomings vs others rather than by our accomplishments as ourselves.
"I dislike interference by others (however helpfully intended) and will only accept it if I've sought it out first."
I know this, which is why I tend to leave you alone when you're in your room. Do you want more attention? Less, because I'm being annoying? Am I doing it right?
Many of these seem true of both of us. Introverts R Us.
I love you, intensely. I just don't really know how to go about demonstrating it.
Interference as I meant it here is when people (unasked), tell me what to do, how to be, or give me "suggestions for improvement." I find that incredibly, INCREDIBLY annoying, unless it's someone I know and trust deeply. And even then, I'll probably still be annoyed for a while before settling down to consider it.
But you aren't someone who tries to tell me what to do, so don't worry about it at all. :) You're doin' just fine. *snugs* I love my Sistermonster and I would be so lost without you! Plus our parents deserve at least one kid who isn't snarky. :P
