This might help you understand me

For any of my handful of readers that know me personally, the following quote has the potential to help you understand me a little better.  It is from an awesome blog from Hyperbole and a Half you could read in its entirety here.

"The longer I procrastinate on returning phone calls and emails, the more guilty I feel about it.  The guilt I feel causes me to avoid the issue further, which only leads to more guilt and more procrastination.  It gets to the point where I don't email someone for fear of reminding them that they emailed me and thus giving them a reason to be disappointed in me." 
If it doesn't ring true to you, you probably won't really ever understand those of us who feel this way.  The entire blog post it came from is amazing (except for one offensive word) and pretty much sums up many of the problems my family of origin deals with on a daily basis.  Most of us were wired a little differently than the standard human.  If you don't understand, count yourself lucky.
