You have deep compassion and understanding of the human heart, however your delivery it is always what gets me through. You are who you are for a reason and I love exactly who you are.

Not necessarily because you cried at a socially "acceptable" time (or more pointedly, a socially EXPECTED time), but because by sharing this post with us you made yourself vulnerable. I was moved by your telling of your friend's tragic story, but also by knowing that I'm not alone in sometimes feeling that I am missing a female gene. While I may not respond to sadness with sarcasm, I do often respond to problems and crises with extreme pragmatism. Although I've found this to be a damn useful personality trait, others often perceive it as coldness. Like you, I care. I empathize. I just react differently than "normal." Thank you for sharing. <br />Keep writing. Keep sharing. Keep being real.

I ...I can relate to sometimes feeling emotionless. I sometimes believe that is a survival technique because no matter what happens around you, life is still going on with work to be done. Some of us don't let ourselves stop and make time to truly feel the hurt, pain and sorrow. We may be empathetic, but we must stay strong and take care of business, not letting the emotion get below the surface. After all, "There is no crying in baseball!"<br /><br />That being said, I am truly sorry for your friend's turmoil. I am also happy to hear that the man survived both for his sake and your friend's.Wendy Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10683993295506037723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524287216814878525.post-50615111328791210362016-06-05T00:43:31.620+10:002016-06-05T00:43:31.620+10:00Thank you--I hope you're right!Thank you--I hope you're right!Nell Castlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06931753937672731960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524287216814878525.post-81200604010688727322016-06-05T00:35:52.923+10:002016-06-05T00:35:52.923+10:00Good observation--I definitely prefer to avoid dra...Good observation--I definitely prefer to avoid drama in my own life! As for my characters, I like them to be strong with moments of vulnerability. The man she hit survived. He was a very troubled young guy, and this wasn't his first run-in with trouble.

They say in relationships it's easier to be emotional when the other person is being strong, and vice versa. Do your own characters share that instinct?<br /><br />Did you find out what happened to the man she hit?
