That is the right word. Maybe I need a detox. Hilly - Maybe we need to make conscious efforts to notice it and QUIT it, while we are doing it? Happy New Year :) sizzle - Mine's not <i>that</i> bad... but I am going to try to notice it next time! Happy New Year! suze - Happy New Year! This is going to be a big year for you!!! Jodi - I know that it can include family :( It makes me sad when I would have more fun being myself and alone... than trying to fit in with others.

And I found that I was unhappy most of the time. Over the last couple of years, I have made a conscious effort to not be around people I can't be myself around -- that includes family. As a parent, I don't like to set the example of putting on different personalities for different people. You are who you are no matter where you are, or who you are with. I'm a lot happier now. Happy New Year! I used to feel that way a lot. And I found that I was unhappy most of the time.

I’m a lot happier now.
