deckardcanineMy thanks to all who have commented on my last thread. Before looking at the responses, I had spent many hours fearing a worse backlash. What I saw was largely sensitive and constructive, and you've given me more of a chance than you were obliged. That includes Rain.
My incentive to improve my use of emotion and sensitivity on LJs is now stronger than ever. I can't be a good Christian -- or a good person, for that matter -- if I don't make a sincere effort to ditch a cold habit. And I'm not going to say, "I'm sorry, this has always been a problem for me," or worse, "I've shown signs of something like developmental apraxia/Asperger's/etc." Whether or not I mean that kind of talk as a reaching excuse, it becomes one when I fall down on the job. No more of that! My hope -- my goal -- is to inject my threads and comments with something more than emotionally removed analysis. I wouldn't mind occasional feedback on my progress from you guys, tho of course I don't expect it of you. This is MY problem first and foremost, and therefore my responsibility first and foremost.
