I used to be more like this, some trouble with expressing my feelings. Once I learned how good it was to say “I’ll love you and miss you” and exchange a good big hug, there was no going back.

I’m glad notburga understands him. Jay needs someone like that.

Feeling isolated in a group. All too familiar. Fortunately, less these days than in my 20s.

See, i think Jay kinda’ wins this one. He doesn’t get upset at ALL by the concept, only that he didn’t think it was Bruno’s style. but Sophia has a point too, we all change and try things and that’s fine and good.

I can’t tell if she’s bragging or if she’s trying to needle him with a possible topic that tests his levels of acceptance. And I’m not sure she knows either. ;-)

I don’t mind greyhound, but as long as they were on it (at least a few days) it can become pretty grueling.

Annnnnd…. the sparring returns.

That’s an awful mirror to hold up.

I’ve had some awkward moments like this, where words have pushed people away when I haven’t even known what words they were, and when I later have seen them, I’m terrified to say similar words.

Well, that was out of the blue, wasn’t it?
