Oh, I'll certainly give you an earful. But know that it's only because of care. Midnight often tells me the opposite of love isn't hate, but apathy. All of us scold you only because we care; if that scolding ever ceases, that's when the real trouble begins.
[ there's a bit of rue along the edges of his lips, however, as he considers what to say next. ] However, if the reverse is true. If you don't give others a chance to fuss, or a chance to know what is happening with your life, both the weal and the woe, then others will feel as if you don't want them in your life. For who wants to be friends with someone who backs away from them? Nobody wants to be a fairweather friend, one that is only there for the good. To share in the challenges - well, to put it frankly, it has them feeling they are of use to you. Many people need that, I think.
