Honestly, there are some people out there who I care about a lot but who make me feel intimidated of ever saying anything beyond the banal everyday sort of things.
They are so sensitive and volatile that I have had conversations that I have planned out carefully for days blow up in my face.
Then they have the audacity to say that they would prefer people to talk to them personally if we want to address an issue or want to talk about something more intimate that is going on in their lives.
I would rather go into a cage full of tigers.
Seriously.
At least then it will only be me who gets hurt.
Because that is the other side of the issue. Yes, there is an element of self preservation here. I do not like being in what seems to inevitably turn into a drama.
But there is also the part where I don’t want to hurt anyone by my bumbling around in an effort to be tactful.
Yes, I would like to approach them and talk to the person on a one on one manner, but is it worth it?
After I think about it and remember the past, I usually decide no.
Yes, ideally it would be best. Christ tells us that it is best to talk to your brother.
But it is so much easier and the end (immediate) result is so much better if I find out through someone else.
So yes, my relationship with that person doesn’t improve, but then again it doesn’t become any worse either.
