Yeah.
It's called aging.
And yes, it sucks.

Thanks, my friend.

You are fortunate in being open to other viewpoints. That's really important in recovery, and in success.

There are people here who are stuck on their one viewpoint, and don't bother to listen to the "other side of the story." I feel like it's sometimes because they're skeptical of the intentions of others--because they've been taken advantage of in their lives.

It's an understandable viewpoint---but it's detrimental to them achieving their potential.

I often find that I am taken advantage of, and I tend to then break contact.

At least you know when you're being taken advantage of.

This awareness is essential when it comes to contact with humans.

Most people I encounter are either naturally decent----or just don't have the time to take advantage of people.

Many times, people who take advantage of others "do it for a living"----because they don't feel there's any other source of income. Many criminals are in that category, for complex reasons.

You come across as intelligent, straight to the point (Unlike me who writes a story to tell the time to someone), kind, whitty... You have a lot to offer!
