Experience tells me that when you dislike someone on such vague grounds, the problem often rests with you.

I’ve always had issues with people who seem perfect. Seems like there must be some serious fault behind all that fantastic exterior.

Our shared fear of showing weakness. The constant worry that we weren’t good enough. And not least, the paralyzing feeling of being incapable of connecting—either to our own emotions or to other people.
