We're just deep feelers, which sounds kind of science-fictiony, but you know what I mean. You're just a good person. When someone hurts me, it takes me a lot longer than a year to get the perspective you have. I seem to hold on to things a lot longer than most people, too.

You’re just a good person. When someone hurts me, it takes me a lot longer than a year to get the perspective you have.

I can't think of a particular occassion that sticks in my mind but I still care deeply for people I haven't spoken to for years. I wonder what they're up to and I do hope that deep down they are like you and I, and they think of me occasionally. I also don't hold out much hope though... I can't understand people who would consider one point in your life to be a good enough reason to cease friendship. When I make a friend I accept that they will have aspects I don't like about them as I'm sure they will dislike things about me. It's the bigger picture that matters, surely?

I can't really overcome my own hurt feelings in such situations. I envy you if you’ve learned to accept such things without angry feelings towards the other person.
