Good point, I like your analogy with the chess game, and it makes perfect sense. It's a choice on whether I am willing to sacrifice, if it is worth it more to keep the friendship.. to just to have a friend at all.. . Yes, I feel encouraged by all of you, along with my own inner convictions...

Well, I think we are really Siamese twins.. as I have struggled with the fear of man for most of my life. It has been the most prevalent fear that has kept me down, and it has hurt me the most in my life. I would gather to say, maybe.. that you are a gentle and sensitive soul? I would...
