[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 756042, member: 15032"] Newstart: I think that some of us draw people to us and make them want to open up and spill. I am like that. In fact, my husband calls me "Dear Abby" (some younger on here may not know who Dear Abby is). Sometimes others' "things" really brought me down. I am much better at that now. I can only handle my own stuff. Maybe your friend is so distraught that she can't even remember your story. I was in a whirlwind like that for so long not knowing if up was down or down was up. I actually take that as a compliment. I love that I can be that for someone. I think that means that I am a good listener and compassionate. Those are two qualities that I have worked hard to acquire and that I am very proud of. I am sure you are also a good listener and compassionate. If my pain and experience can help someone else, then that makes me very happy. Then maybe it's not all for nothing. [/QUOTE]
