It's really weird how my thoughts about you go back and for between

• maybe slightly over-the-top empathy where I imagine aww shucks everybody just puts down their sticks and makes up.
• absolute dismissal of you and (in my mind) dramatically "final" mental sign-offs; variants of "well fuck you then", as if using enough emphasis will make it real and I'll finally shoo you out of my head.

The fact that it's never often middle-of-the-road as it should be towards a plain old regular fellow-human is by itself interesting. There must be a Mechanism.

I guess maybe with time the pendulum stops swinging so wildly.
