I find it odd and somewhat amazing that at the time I might be in need of understanding, sympathy, comfort, or a kind word from family, friends and co-workers they are determined to put me down or criticize.

What is wrong with people that they want comfort & stroking when they are hurting, but lash out when you need their shoulder to lean on or maybe even cry on? It's as though you are a dangerous spider and are going to be stomped and killed!

Do you find life to be the same? Oh, there are 2 or 3 good friends or family members that are always there, but as a whole, your pain is a delight to the rest. It's a shame everyone can't abide by the Golden Rule.
