What I was referring to when people get so close to me that they use it against me.... is that she knows my personality so damn well that she knows exactly what will piss me off -- but she doesn't always do this in shit tests! When i come to her asking for advice, she will say X,Y,Z reason, and then back it up with "Because this is who you are and how you operate", and it will all be true. What makes me ANGRY about it, is that I can't BS myself for very long when friends like this help point out some things about me which are twisted off ways to think.
Cut yourself some slack, my man! Appreciate the friends who can see those things, and use it to help yourself heal and grow. Perhaps that will help take the edge off.
I don't take criticism very well. When I put myself in the frame of mind that I'm in control and I can change what I don't like when I become aware of the problem, it helps me take it (criticism) in stride.
