Thanks guys. I agree, they seem to be more upset that I am upset than they are actually upset about it. LOL I get some strong emotional channels from a couple of them and they sometimes seem really sad that I think I'm not doing well as a keeper.

That's is a very valid point that many of us make. However I doubt you ever treated them more as tools to be utilized instead of friends. When I was reading this I was getting the impression and feeling that you never too advantage or used them. That you were unaware how much you showed them friendship, respect for them and included them as companions for some of your endeavors of adventures and leisure time unconsciously. You did not actively include them or even think to include them on a human level. But in the deep part of your subconscious at soul/spirit level you extended the invitation for their company in everyday activities, such as shopping trips, lazing about chilling at home, being with human friends and family outings as well. But it's great and shows true character for coming to the conclusion you did. Thank you for that.

Good necro, Bhardin.
