Relations
Do you let people reach out to you? How do you generally respond?
Do you let yourself lean on others? How?
Has this changed for you?

Love thought provoking questions this am...yes, I let people reach out to me. When they do I feel it is based on trust and my ability to help/advise/listen contingent upon what they need. And while I am highly private, I do lean on certain others. And still to this day, if I am emotional in any respect about something and get on the phone with my mom, i will cry my eyes out hearing her voice.

I wish I had more people to lean on, but then I would probably not lean on then for fear of appearing needy. Or maybe it's the quality of the lean. Right now, I wish I could do one of those games where you lean back and someone catches you. That's what I need right now.

Every time I leaned, it bit me in the butt. When I leaned, things were expected eventually down the road in return. I don't trust people anymore.
Mutual reaching is only between me and my husband.

Liz, what you have with your husband, that more than makes up for what you get from the rest of the world.

I have begun opening up more and letting people reach out to me. If I can help, I will.
I tend to not lean on people because it backfires for me.

People deserve good life time and home loans or just short term loan can make it much better. Because freedom relies on money state.
