Good at Doing, but Not at Being

I am still trying to understand people. And I want to share some of my findings with you.

My recent experience of a Drop Attack, and my recovery from that, made me appreciate the value of medical specialists (neurology, in particular) - and two friends, without whose help I could not have survived either.

But I also realized that my friendship with them was limited - in a strange way I had not thought about before. They were more than willing to help me solve my problem - but that was all they could do for me.

They did not want me to share my everyday life with them - or for them to share their everyday life with me. That much intimacy made them nervous.
