I've noticed that I smother people in areas other than sales. Yes, sometimes I'm a little too aggressive when finding the right thing for people as gifts or the right book for their son. But I also become way too aggressive when trying to be what people need. I also realize it is stupid because it is not my place to be everything they need or to please them. And I smother them with Mez. I also try to do penance. If I've made them mad, I try to do the laundry or get them a gift or help them in some way to say I'm sorry. Often it goes, again, way too far and I end up thinking that it can equal out all of the bad I've done to them. It seeps into other areas of my life, spiritually, emotionally, in other relationships.
