<<Yeah, "my" problem is I see people in a positive light, thinking the best of them from the very beginning. And then, even when someone shows their faults, I tell myself, well daggit, I've got faults too and I hope there is someone who accepts them. And then they do something horrible, like this, and it just breaks
Thats *exactly* what I do, (I realize this is kind of going off topic) I had to add it though, because I've often defended boyfriends to other friends saying
"Well its hardly 'normal' for someone to lie on the couch and cry all day,
(meaning me ) so I'm not going to toss him out on his ear because he's not perfect"
(I realize you weren't just talking about boyfriends)Unfortunately I can't say it's ever seemed to work out either! Its so hurtful and frustrating.
I was so nieve to think that the rest of the world worked on that system!
