I searched through thirty-two years of memories, trying to find moments of generosity, kindness or selflessness. But every memory that surfaced came with a condition attached. It wasn’t that he never gave a gift or did a… Read More “Can’t You Remember Anything Nice About Him?”

“Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you.” It suggests that loneliness is not simply the absence of company but the absence of genuine connection.

After years of extensive research (and surviving one very determined individual), experts have finally identified a rare condition known as Chronic Correctness Syndrome (CCS). Common Symptoms Believing every disagreement is a personal attack. Treating a simple property settlement like a 15-round heavyweight title fight.
