To Cope With The Excessively

Dear Mary Haworth: I am 30. P

I have in mind three Pel'5l'D5 who friend. the other two in-laws. who are closely associated with me.

II I should like to tell them, but I have to hide my innermost thoughts. and act sweet and kind -and insincere.

It irks me to have them con- tinually referring to their big hearts, kind souls. good nature.l sympathetic service to others, etc. -but in the past. when I was out- apokenly frank, they made me feel like a heel. with their outburst of fears. Yet I hate being a hypo crite to keep peace. .

Other people don't affect me this way, or to this degree-provided they don't get too close. I dislike the smothering feeling of someone closing in. , sively. My mo- ther rarely klssed me, and my father never, to my knowledge- He was the authoritative. know-it- Ill type. It is my nature to keep friends at l comfortable distance; and it is embarrassing to have I woman kiss me. though I manage. clumsily, to put on an act.

IS SHE NEUROTIC?

These women expect me to love them-when I am on edge in their company. They get under my skin so it uothers me for days. Even most of their ideas are in sharp contrast to mine: and. since I can't escape them. how can I cope? I've studied your column Ind similar writings for years, and always felt confident of solving my problems with God's help -- but these three people have me sty- micd. Are they neurotic? Or am I?

I am sure of my husband's love (which is responsive but not de- manding) . . . and feel little need of others outside my family. Nev- ertheless we entertain and visit. and go to church and Sunday school. and have a reasonable so- cial life becuse I think it's right. Yet I really prefer the company of law husband and daughters to my other. and hate to leave homo for I club meeting or afternoon out with the "girls." Usually I rave a headache on my return C.L.

Dear C.L.: You are pretty self- ccntered, it seems; little inter- ested in individuals as objects-ob interest in themselves.

BASIC FEMININE NATURE

I wouldn't deslsllllle Y0)! 85 l)e"' rotic. necessarily. But it strikes me that the natural bias of your personality - your characteristic ways of feeling, thinking, being and doing-veers more towards the masculine, than the tradition- ally femlnine pattern.-

And to really delve into the sub- ject of the difference between the essentially feminine. as versus masculine personality. you might read Dr. Florida Scott-Maxw-.-il's article in the current (June. 1956) issue of Harper's Bazaar: an ar- ticle entitled ”Women, and. Some- times Men." She is discussing the new balance of masculine and feminine, that is emerging in so- ciety in this century. It is a fas- cinating commentary that nobody should miss.

OUTRAGE IS CHILDISH

But back to your psychological resistance to these three ladies who are always trying to get in- si".e your guard (so you feel)-I

are quite immature. Your put- upon outrage is childish. Given some sophistication of soul. you would develop inner detachment and outward passivity in dealing with them-in which case, they couldnli get significantly close enough to annoy you.

It is a mistake to fight a boor or a bore, in one's actions or thoughts. To get the rust out of your social reflexes. read "God's Reach" fMacalaster Park) by Glenn Clark-and practise all-in- clusive kindness in your walk of life. MH

"I think I'll leave that to yourselves."

"Then after dinner we'll play a while before we join you again." How happy they were then at their games about the lawns, voices gay, laughs

merry. And no quarrels to mar the serenity of the fine July day. Was it Hide-and-seek they play- ed? A young face turned against a smooth birch bole calling the numbers and the warning in words that have stood the test of long years: "Ready or not, you shall be caught. in your hiding- place or not!"
