sorry that I didn't answer earlier, Skog. I hadn't been back here in a
while. The reason is that, yes, it was like talking to a wall because
of precious few answers. 

Plus, this free usenet server that I'm using (being new) has some bugs
and is dropping posts. I just went now to read through Google groups
instead and I see your post for the first time.

By way of reply, the only people that I got any help from (tons of any
help that I would ask for) were women that I had relationships with.
Anybody else will only do what little they happen to feel at the
moment like doing, if it makes them able to demonstrate that they are
a good and "caring" person.

Most humans are crap. You have to seek out the few that are not. Be
careful whom you trust. We live in a time when psychopaths are heroes.

Does that sound cynical? :)  You have to laugh... or at least, I do :)


As far as working on this problem, why not choose some small goals to
achieve? Some goals that don't rely heavily on other people being good
and nice to you, but still naturally enough do involve interacting
with other people.
