Brian, I understand your intent, that much is clear. All I am saying is if you want to get different responses from people you need to do something about how you conduct yourself. Instead I hear you blame other people for your choices. Reflect on this. IF you want things to change, though I suspect at some deep level you don't, then you need to address you. If you don't want to be friends with me then that is ok. If you want to be friends again in the future then just let me know. I will be right here willing to connect with you. Personally I would rather have three friends who will be open and honest with me, telling me what I need to hear, as opposed to 100's of superficial facebook acquaintances that only tell me what I want to hear. We all have that choice to make.
