Would you become a nicer person if life was easier?

@SW-User That's a good way to keep yourself from getting hurt

@SW-User it costs me though. I spend so much time being a jerk and keeping people away it bleeds over onto the ones I love sometimes, too.

@SW-User You're not a jerk, but I can understand that sometimes our self-protection mechanism can come off hurtful to others that we love the most

@SW-User I appreciate you saying that Alex. Yes it's an unintended side effect

@SW-User I've done it myself. Never again though :D

@SW-User I doubt you ever meant anything by it you're such a sweetheart
