Loving the Unlovable   Many of us are mystified why some persons choose attitudes, feelings and behaviors that encourage being unlovable to the ones around them.  This mystery is further compounded when we realize that our own life has been learning to be liked and to receive the various types of emotional and physical stroking which make our lives more positive.   When we want to be lovable for ourselves, why do others choose ways to be unlovable?   When does self-study become selfish?  What are the powers we give to the labels we choose to define our lives to ourselves and others?   For example, how can I choose a personal tendency to use "I-itis" to strengthen my relationships with others?   As a PTP, we continue to ponder and learn about the powers we choose to give to others so they determine how you and I feel in a variety of settings.
