A few months ago this very point was troubling me greatly. How could I go from breezing along (ok, how about huffing and puffing?), not really thinking about how I was feeling, to this self absorption? I felt guilty that I felt I couldn't see beyond my own nose, much less reach out to anyone else.

For me, some of the reaching out I do - support and unasked-for advice - is the only thing that connects me to the world sometimes. And by "talking" to others with similar problems, to mine, it helps me get a perspective on my situation too.

Mostly I feel like I'm just putting my hand on other peoples' shoulders and saying, "It's OK, go ahead, I am listening," and in doing that I help myself. Selfish, really.
