balmofgilead

A few days ago in the middle of some braindumping I wrote this:

Often I get the sense that people have pegged me as a bad person, particularly relatives.

I have never expressed that before, or even realized it clearly.  My 'sense' isn't necessarily correct.  It still colors my way of looking at and behaving in the world.

{People say "you don't write, you don't call" and I hear "you are a bad person and I hate you."}
