Everything one experiences in life changes them in some way. For better or worse that is just how it is. So they person you know is never going to be fully known to you. I think the trick is to never stop trying to know them, and to recognize and embrace the changes as they happen. Some times these changes might bring people closer together, and unfortunately sometimes it drives them apart. But never stop trying.

I think society has kind of taught us that honesty is taboo. A lot of people (in my opinion) seem to think honesty is a weakness and have a limiting factor on how people see them. Also people who cant be honest with themselves will never be able to be completely honest with others.

Only on Tuesdays.
But seriously, I have seen and dealt with it before while working at a mental health hospital. Its a hard road to travel if you have it.

For impersonating an officer and performing body cavity searches.

Yes. Happy because I am learning to live and enjoy life again. Even with my fibro. Sad because my ex's grandma is dieing. Probably by end of week.

Figuring out what to say in your profile is probably the hardest thing here. Your is informative and to the point. People reading it will know exactly what your about. Good job. I'm still working on mine and will be forever.

Good luck and enjoy the forums.

I think people are afraid of love for a variety of reasons.
Fear of commitment, feeling's of being unworthy, trust issues, performance anxiety, fear of change and a fear of enequal amount of recipical love. Just to name a few.

I have seen friends start relationships with apparently compatable men and woman who freeze the minute the relationship builds to a level of seriuos committment. It's a horrible thing to watch as often the other party becomes emotionally injured with no idea what happened.

Jusr my 2 cents.

Welcome to Mingle and good luck in your search. Being active in the community is a good place to start.

What I would like to do is want to gather everyone I knew and cared for at an outside barbeque that last long into the night. I would spend the time to talk to everyone there and introduce everyone who didn't know each other. Sharing secrets and never spoken thought to those who needed to here them. Eating and drinking into the night with a huge bonfire and music. At some point I would want to slip away and craw into bed as my memories and thoughts surround me into sleep.

Impossible to do in this age where everyone is spread out and so busy in their own lives. So reality would be writing letters to everyone. The old way with paper and pen. Basking in the beauty of nature and retiring to bed with my pets sleeping around me.

Being nice is a double edged sword. It can take you a long way, but it can also get you into a lot of trouble. A few things I learned about being nice.

1. Nice can get you taken advantage of. Don't let the same person do it twice.

2. Never be nicer to your friends significant others than they are. Unless you want to be the should they come to cry on and the whole can of trouble that leads to.

3. Being nice can get people to talk to you who would normal not have taken the time.

4. How nice you are if often directly proportional to how much of a jerk you can be to. If pushed.

5. Nice is nothing without manners and respect.

6. Regardless of life's outcomes. Nice is its own reward to.
