Back in the 70's there was a popular book called "How to be your own best friend." Maybe we all need to read it. BTW, when it was on the bestseller list, the New Yorker had a cartoon, a guy standing in a bookstore talking to himself, 'well, what have we here, how to be your own best friend. well, i hardly think we need that, do we? no indeed. save our money. a wise economy, old pal, what say we celebrate our intelligence with a nice drink?" truly his own bf.
