Nope, I disagree. But there are many times that the one's who like you still can misunderstand you, the one's who love you can misunderstand you too and be hurt by words uttererd...but those who need you most sometimes need the time and explaination the most because they matter the most, no matter what it takes. And you know what? It's SO worth it in the end. Friendships, and many different types of relationships mended when you thought there wasn't a prayer. Trust me on this...I know what I'm talking about 
Just something to think about....we've been there done that and through a lot of this ourselves.
