Relying on (sometimes optimistic) mental constructions and then having to come to terms with reality seems to be a motif, yeah, lol, and can come off fickle. Just speaking about a certain someone I know, u know.
(You'd think I'd learn to take things with a grain of salt by now. Getting there.)

I know I confused her (?) at times. I get more insight into what she may have been experiencing through your posts.

I hope she knows I was even though romantic relationships on my end didn't leave room for my friendships. I still consider my old friends friends even though I don't talk to them. If I saw them tomorrow I could probably take up right where I left off with most of them. I am not sure if they all could do the same.
“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
some of your "choices" LOL
