"friends"

[z1815]

I realize I'm not as in touch with myself as I'd like to be/should be. I realize I'm not as open and honest as I should/could be. I tend to avoid situations or otherwise not address directly things that are unpleasant. I've been trying to be better, improve myself where I'd like to improve like the issues above. But I'm still that super sensitive

I have a lot to say about this, but I don't have time at the moment, so I will saw two things... 1) Allen sounds like a douche-weasel who wanted to get into your pants, plain and simple. And 2) the phrase "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me" is completely idiotic. Humans may not go around beating each other with sticks and rocks (as much) anymore, but we have mastered the art of hurting with words. Humans are the only animals on earth known to have physical reactions based on unpleasant thoughts, so you bet your butt words can hurt

Thanks for the comment:) It feels good to be justified in my feelings, especially by someone I respect so much:)
If Allen was worth putting in his place any more than he has been, I would totally use you for your sharp words ;) But I'm going to ignore him, as he's obviously immature and does not really want to be friends. Just another person not satisfied with anything other that what he wants/feels entitled to. What are those people called? EB right? :)
Oh, and do tell me more if there's more to say about it. Makes me feel better:) Though writing it out and having your awesome response helped a lot.
