10. I think it is because of our discussions over time.

It may have been obvious to that person. Or, they may have just had a lucky guess. I can certainly see this person deciding not to be further involved with me because of that reason. Some people don't like to be around negativity at all, and a professional cynic like myself can be very negative at times. I mean, I did once sit with a friend to discuss why I wanted to end things and after an hour he told me he would set out his gun so I could just take it and sneak off to the woods. He had wanted to talk me out of it. I am not proud of it, but I did warn him how inconsolable I can be at times. I did decide not to go ahead with it. Mainly because I just did not want to make trouble for him. No one deserves to be involved with something like that when they had nothing to do with any part of why I was so depressed anyway, and was trying to help.
