when i quit thinking all about ME ME ME i started feeling better.

practice this daily with everyone you meet, it will change your attitude in no time and heal most of your 'troublesome' relationships faster than you think possible

Seek to comfort, rather than be comforted,
Seek to understand, rather than be understood,
Seek to love, rather than be loved

When I quit trying to get everyone to understand ME, when I quit trying to make everyone around me give ME comfort, when I quit trying to get everyone to LOVE ME and turned it around, my relationships and my feelings about myself changed radically.

Try it, it may be the miracle in your life that it was in mine.....
