Take a deep breath. Exhale slowly.
"Here we go."

"If you can't be happy alone,
you probably can't be happy with anyone else."

That isn't just my idea, it's a general rule of social psychology.

"If you can't be happy alone
and you are with other people,
you'll likely drag them down with you."

I added that one.
I didn't write it because it sounded nice,
I wrote it because it seems to be true:
I've been the one to drag others down,
as well as the one being dragged down.
::
Do not confuse inconveniences with real problems;
it is unhealthy
and, depending on the degree,
insane.

If you can't work on yourself by yourself,
what hope do I have of helping?
It is optimistic to say that it would require luck:

I know for a relative fact
that it requires a good deal of luck
to get a solution right the first time,
let alone at all,
unless it is a scientific problem
which can be solved
with studious and careful attention
to objective detail.

The medium of psychological issues
is inherently an infinitely complex one,
much less when two or more different people
and their abstract states of mind
are combined
and confined.

Things get so variable so quickly
that it approaches impossible
to make accurate diagnoses
very quickly.
::
If you have a lot of similar problems,
over varying social and temporal situations,
the most common factor is usually
You.

Solve for You.
There is no blame.
