I think your answer is awesome! I especially love your last 2 sentences. You have talent as a writer that is for sure. You can sum up feelings in very poetic ways.
Thank you for that essay on friendship... and how it works for you. I am going to print it out and share it with K.
He has what the shrinks call "attachment issues" I guess... anyone with whom he gets that "spark" you talk about he immediately treats as if they had the history and connection of your Patty.
You can see, I am sure, how this doesn't work in so MANY ways! Mostly, his contacts end up being acquaintances (as I think is true for us all) and he feels the unbalance deeply and gets hurt. Others (usually females but not always) interpret his intimate sharing as "moving to the next step" and end up trying to own him, push me out of the picture, plotting marriage! And in the end, he lacks friends.
He's got a new counselor now and friends is one of the issues they are going to tackle. I am going to share your essay with both of them, as a starting point for work. Thank you again, you put it much better than I could (I who am much a recluse too... )
