Complexes are complicated...
Last year i had a complex. I thought the complex was gone because i went to a little seminar at Affirmations which coincidentally delt with that topic. i mean coincidentally because i didn't know it was going to be on that. and i didn't know i had the complex until i heard the speech about it and it totally applied. Then i got over my complex..and i was happy.
But now it's back.
Just thought you should know. Here are the details of the complex(sorry if i made this sound worse than it is, but i do think it's pretty bad!)
I have so much empathy for people that when they are sad i am sad. so much so that it destroys my life almost, like, i don't only feel bad for them, i totally feel their emotions and my life is just inextricablly bound to other people. I can't just say..oh i'm really sorry you're sad and that sucks and all. i have to feel completely depressed by it.
Certain people have that effect on me. Justin was one.
Sigh, I must work harder.
