I had a much...|||Oh wow, sorry my first response came before I saw this. A cuddle workshop does sound like a really difficult place to experience hostility. Unfortunately it sounds unpreventable if the pairs are...|||For a long time I had trouble understanding why I'd effortlessly make one-sided enemies, so this is something I can relate to.   Love and hate are related as the person feeling either emotion has...|||I voted no for other reasons. I don't have one sole reason so I'll share some:  1) I can't bring myself to support the enslavement, torture and mutilation of animals. Hunted animals are different,...|||A little (possibly relevant) side story: I had an INFP friend for many years I couldn't help developing strong feelings for. After 6 years or so of being friends we gave dating a shot when we both...|||I'm a little unclear on what you're seeking advice on, so I'm sorry if this post turns out to be irrelevant.  If you're concerned you're (re)developing feelings for someone who is going through a...|||Thanks for posting this,  I've been super curious about this sort of thing also.

I didn't even realize I had a problem with boundaries until a couple years ago, so the...|||Thanks for the helpful insight. I guess I didn't expect people to be exactly the same person in work and personal environments. It just sort of appeared to me that the work personas of others seems...|||Squaresoft ruled the RPG genre back in the SNES days.
