And yet you claim to be unaware of this? Unaware of how important others' opinions are to you? This is the kind of thing that makes me think you might be on meds. But, again, I mean no offense because I'm being honest. It is insensitive of me. But you claim not to care, don't you? And yet you set boundaries? My incredulity is really my weakness I'm in some kind of denial Why can't I comprehend this? I remember the expression, " too tough to care. " But, in effect, coming from someone who claims to have compassion...? Oh, hmm, maybe you're just too busy to really think about it. Yes, I'm sure that must be it. OK, I get it. ....
