I don't see any of those things in you. I see someone who rather than being self-interested goes to incredible lengths to be a good friend and partner even when other people are being impossibly awkward, who doesn't just take the lazy way out of problems but faces up to them and fights them.
(I also see somebody who sometimes gets overwhelmed by all the stuff that's not as good as they want it to be. I think that's normal for people who care about things. Which doesn't mean it isn't horrible when you feel it, but I do think it's an occupational hazard, as it were, of caring.)
I wish I could offer some more useful help than just textual hugs all the time. Certainly if there's anything practical that you think would help with finances then please tell me; I need to do something about my money situation as well and it's often easier to do these things with company (and somebody to prod gently when necessary).
And as regards the weight I know it's a question of what you're happy with rather than what other people think looks good, but for what it's worth I still think you're drop-dead gorgeous. More importantly though you're a lovely person and a wonderful friend, and I just wish I could be half as good a friend to you as you are to me.
