Hey, I agree with Eagle. I have found that in real time social situations I am more at ease than I used to be. I think it's because of the frequent and supportive giving and receiving on this site. No kidding! It's true, it's true! I used to be like Eagle: avoiding confrontation. And if I hurt someone else's feelings, my goodness, I couldn't get over myself, even if they were way past it. I would apologize for things I said to him or her and he or she would say, "What? That didn't even faze me." Meanwhile, I had beaten myself up. Somehow, the communication here has helped me 1) not take things too personally 2) not mull over if I should have said this or that or not. Love and Light, Lynn
