People that know me the best wouldn't hurt me. They know that I have weapons and don't take crap from anyone.
Do you believe that the people who know you the best can hurt you the most?
Yes, sometimes. They know which buttons to push that would hurt the most.
Sometimes
I think the ones you love the most.
Oh yes i started talking over the phone with my sister toni after a 16yr hiatus. But i am keeping my distance , i cant trust her
Oscar Wilde made this the theme of his Ballad of Reading Gaol. He was hurting at the time but, personally, I think he went way over the top.
Yes, families and friends can cause you the most hurt, simply because there is an emotional bond between you. You can always drop a 'friend' who has gone rogue, but we're stuck with our family members and to sever the bond takes much resolve.
Yes.
Sometimes but I kind of build a wall around me for that stuff. I keep my distance and take a long time to get to know someone. Seems to work pretty good.
They may have an advantage in that they may know areas in which I may be more vulnerable; but while I do bend, I haven't broken in many, many years.
Its a well known thing that we always manage to hurt those closest to us, or those we love the most. After working with people for many years, this is very true, not that we mean too but somehow we manage to take it out on them and then feel sorry afterwards
