Interesting. I watched a video the other day describing how the terrible times in our lives are necessary because otherwise we'd have no reference point for the times that are good or even just OK. No light without dark, etc. I modelled myself a bit on Crowley (among other controversial or artistic figures) as a young man, unfortunately I had neither the wealth of Crowley nor quite the opportunities/talent/charisma of the others (Poets, artists, rebels) . But I accept that younger, externally focused self, as without it I would not have eventually become the more inwardly content self that I am now.

Yash I wouldn't say I am fond of Crowley but the quote is on to something essential. We thrive more when we can feel connected and in line with the heart of things.

Thanks for the hugs.

Thank you I am glad you liked the pics Lifeisthis.

What I'm thinking of doing would be expensive, could send me right over the edge, but it'd probably get things tied up and neatly cut.

My f-ing weakness and lack of assertion at critical times led to this failure.

Do you want to say what you're thinking of doing?

It sounds like you're being really harsh on yourself. Do you want to explain why you feel this way?

What kind of bird is that? Either the bird is big, or that tree is small.

Until recently, being alone has never been a problem for me. Creativity can be a focus, I get lots of things done, I can navigate the way I want, social interaction issues don't intrude into my mind, and I'm less likely to become anxious.
Perhaps I was fooled or purposely fooled myself thinking I was smart enough and nice enough to be an introvert, and pull off being a good partner.

I think you're smart and nice and could also be a good partner. If you're introverted, relationships can be more of a challenge than they are for other people, but I think things could still work out with the right person.

That's nice of you thank you @may71 .
