Prickly Personality Keeping Away Friends

[mishalak]

When I seriously reflect upon my life and my personality I am afraid of what lies in store for me. I see it every day when I'm working. Lonely old people struggling to keep existing in a world where their few friends have already died. I am a branch of a dying tree that is loosing its flowers without setting fruit. There is sun and time before winter, yet. There is no reason why I should not enjoy my time in the sun, but there is still a sadness under things for winter is coming and none has yet survived it.

I could wish I were other than what I am. It is hard to love a porcupine.

The glib response is "Even other porcupines are wary."

Meanwhile, I am bearing in mind that you have recently broken up with someone and everything looks grim right now. And will continue to look grim, because that stuff won't turn off.

Yes. You are who you are. Be kinder to yourself.
