I wanted to hit him in his face for that. Gah. You're right, that just makes things sooooo much worse. It's one thing if they've just kind of forgotten or something, but to just... not care? *head desk*
So you think Rodney's social needs are important? Yeah, I think he's gotten used to people. He's gotten used to having friends. I think he'd *rather* be able to go on without them, but when it comes right down to it, he'd now miss them a *lot* if they were gone. ...Not that we were able to tell from Carson going... Grr.
thanks for sharing that information about your friendship with me. It's not easy to admit things like that to someone you don't know very well, so thanks. :) I actually find it slightly easier to tell these things to people on-line than I do to people in RL. That layer of anonymity and biased opinions helps. :) I think the thing with me and Sara is... we met at university, and had a lot of other friends there, but we were always closest. Then we went to China together, and I think it just being the two of us, I got on her nerves a bit. When we came back though, I went back to Ottawa, where I had grown up, and she went back to university, where she had a lot of other friends. I don't have many friends around her, so want Sara to be there for me, but she's crazy busy in general, and has friends that are closer, so it's kind of a hassle to do things with me. She doesn't get as lonely as I do though, so she sees the hassle as much bigger than I do. She's also the kind of person that spreads herself really thin and tries to please everyone. But instead she kind of ends up pleasing no one, or not giving the people around her the time they want/need. Like, I would go up and visit her on some of my weekends, but she'd be working all day Saturday that we'd have only a few hours together instead of a weekend. And while I understand she needs to work, it just makes the 10 hour drive to visit her seem like a waste. Especially since the last time that happened, she ended up leaving me alone and hanging out with her room mates at one point. :S
