I've been aware of life for about 10 years (long story, some of you know already), and in that 10 years it has been me as I've never been close enough to anyone else to actually be concerned about them. I have that now, and in an odd way I appreciate caring enough about someone other than me to actually worry about their well-being...but at the same time it is an odd feeling and one I'm not at all familiar with.

Hopefully I don't screw this up, because I actually like it.

Sorry, just had to let some feelings out.

I was once told, the only way to truly "screw up" is to deny your self expression of who you are.

Pats (((Fear))) on the back.
Its ok to care, infact it makes you human.
Its scarey, but its also a great thing to feel.

That is actually solid advice. Don't see me denying any self expression, anyone that knows me from here will tell you that.

Enjoy the feeling...

Thank you (((TeddyBear))). It's not so much scary as it is just something new to me, I'm learning it though and I like it so I figure it is a gradual climb from here.

than I'd say your doing better than most

Awww, Fear, that's great. :)

Enjoy it. I care about a lot of people and I *still* am in awe of it sometimes.

Excellent advice already given. Good luck, hon!

Traitor.

Never lose sight of how much you like it -- because that may be the very thing that preserves it all for you.

It's a hell of a great thing to have -- and a hell of a bad one to lose.

Hold onto it. You deserve it.

slow and easy fear, you will do just fine!!! i have to say i am proud of you. i know men who just wont say it!!!!

Don't forget that its a learning process that never ends, and is always changing. Don't beat yourself up for little mistakes, learn from them and continue the caring. You will do great.

Thanks for all the positive feedback all, I'm going to keep doing what I do. Going to see her in nine days, looking forward to that!

And was this a Mutual Match........hmmmmmmmmm.......spill it mister

that is very un-fear of you.

My subscription ran out, I had to do this without Mutual Match!
But I'm sure Mutual Match would have taken me this way...I stopped paying attention to that thing a long time ago!
