In the thread above I really masticated you. Then spit you out.
Okay, so you're the romantic one, is that it? Is it her that's unable to appreciate what you need? Whatever, tell me if you like, chew me up and spit me out, I guess I have it coming. I took your words and twisted them to fit my story. That's what I did. Now you know my story, too. (And so does everybody else, ack.)

Look, if you were my friend and I had food on my chin, you'd tell me. If you were my friend and I acted like a jerk. You'd tell me.
You just told me I was a jerk. What are friends for anyway?

See now, I apologize for telling you you're a jerk, 'cause that's not what I really wanted to do. I don't think you're a jerk, Toph, I don't have that right, I know you not but you seem like such a sensitive, sweet guy and I really want you to be happy.
Like I said, it was my reaction I take responsibility for it. Nothing to do with who you really are, at all.

I don't want to analyze our conversations because to look back isn't in real time and I don't read with the best comprehension anyway. All I know is that in the brief time that I've known you Susan I've seemed to really set you off twice and I feel bad about it.

That would be a waste of your time; setting me off has been a learning experience for me, and not only that, it's helping me grow in self-awareness. I hope that doesn't upset YOU!
You know what, Toph? I've said it before, I'll say it again, and it's true. We're always hurting people, but intent is the most important thing. If your intent was good, that's all that matters. And I believe your intent is always good

I don't want to go on about this, but I did reread your post and it now is clear to me that you were sharing something important about yourself and I made a bonehead wisecrack. This ticked you off, naturally. Its interesting to me that we're talking about our fractured relationships and we act it out here? Maybe Bob will move this over to psychology. Susan, you are a complex and fascinating woman. I am honored that you take the time to converse with me.
