My Life is a Jigsaw

I want friends, happy families and to feel appreciated. Exploring the depths of confused relationships is seriously hard work, when you are alone in your quest.

The purpose of my webpages is to clear my brain out so I can review my progress. I have attended self-development classes and read self-help books, which gave some pointers. I see myself as affectionate and intelligent, but emotionally and socially crippled. Difficult relationships often result from learnt behaviour in childhood.
At this time (summer 2007) I swing from a critical or condemning attitude of people's faults to appreciative acceptance of their talents. I hate myself when I cannot be constructive in my relationships, but most people do not want to be 'constructed', they enjoy their present security blanket of ill-health, ignorance or problems. Some are simply stuck in a rut of destructive behaviour and would escape if they knew how. How do I determine their position, and give a helping hand - from the heart? I am determined to confidently and sensitively express my thoughts and feelings when others agree and when they do not.
Part of the learning-process is to examine my thoughts, motives and responses to others, so that I will learn how to listen, understand and value everyone. If people also respect me and my viewpoint, we will deepen our mutual affection.
