I think it easier to find a more understanding match than to suffer trying to change basic personal traits. If you need to ask a person "do you like me?", and you are worried that the answer won't be satisfactory, then chances are you will always be worrying about such answers and will always need to pose such questions. Though you might work at resolving the misunderstandings, perhaps it is easier to just pass on; not all pairs of people relate well. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. I am I, and you are you, and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful. And if not, then it can't be helped. - Fritz Perls (Father of Gestalt therapy; from memory...) Most art shops don't carry the posters that contain that last line. -IAN! U of Waterloo idallen@watmath
