Hermit

I am happy for my friends that are happy. I grieve for my friends who are going through rough times, but right now I'm having trouble expressing those things. I feel like I'm not a very good friend right now. People have always been able to talk to me, tell me their problems. That's one of my strengths I think - That I can be a good listener and supportive, but right now, I'm sorry. I just can't seem to concentrate on what you're going through. My mind always wanders back to poor little ol' ME. I don't like being selfish like this. I recognize it and try to push those feelings aside, but they are powerful. So, I'm sorry if I haven't been there for you lately. I want to be. I really do. I just feel like I have so much of my own stuff to deal with. I just can't bear another burden. If you've had some good, life changing news lately, that's great! I'm glad for you. I really truly am. I just can't come to your party 'cause I'm waiting for my good news to arrive.
