I'm good at people. -when I'm free, that is! I really, really do like people I meet but how does one contain such ardor? I express my appreciation of someone, that someone expects a new flaming relationship (romantic or not) which I cannot 'deliver'.
Now is that a problem with me or with the low love-standard of our society? Should people be more used to being told that they really are appreciated or should I just start being less caring? Cos people are getting hurt when they are let down. I hurt people all the time it seems and it's frustrating because I'm clinched between being myself and being cold.

hey ivan.. i totally understand what you mean cos sometimes that's how i feel too. there's such a thin line between being loving and people demanding more of your attention.. but for me i feel that it shouldnt stop you from being yourself. the thing is... there is too little expression of appreciation in this world. so that encouragement is definitely much needed. :) as for them expecting a new flaming relationship (as you put it) with you.. they are just gonna have to learn that it doesnt happen that way (if i may say so) isnt it? expectation places unnecessary stress on a friendship at times. just my thots :)
in any case, i say just be yourself. =)
hey thanx Stace! =) I reckon it's true, but it's just so tuff watching ppl getting hurt, let down etc. when what I really, really want is to make them happy while still being true to myself! But yeah.. I'm trying to be true..
Long time! =) Miss the East..
