Thinking Again

I had a long conversation with my best friend, and he did a good job pointing some things out to me - things in front of my face that I just couldn't see on my own. The base line is that I need to find a way to feel confident other than wrapping guys around my little finger. When my ego is on the line, I tend to use the manipulation of men to help myself feel better, and this is bad both for using men and for the inability to self-soothe.
