@maple you know it _is_ possible to live without ever doing that. it's not a burden a lot of people like, anyway, to be _trusted_ by someone else
live without being trusted and you'll find that living without needing to trust people comes easier. I'm not saying I recommend living that way, but sometimes there's little practical choice otherwise
@maple as long as you talk like you're the only one that matters--and I haven't seen you do a whole heck of a lot else--then nobody's gonna ever think you want the help. and you know what?
they might be right.
@maple
*smiles* it's not help then, so much as a warning.
this "trust" business isn't just about YOU, after all. it's about the implicit bond you form with someone when you talk like that. "I trust you" gawd if anyone ever said that to me I'd be tempted to toss it right back at them
