One thing is for sure it won't get any easier. The advice everyone gives is good.
If you are going to continue giving parts, plan on developing a dual personality because that is what it is going to take. My wife already notices that in me and to her its' not very pleasant.
So for the past several months I've been giving far fewer parts, commenting far less, spending far less time in F/S and just blending back in with lower profile publishers. The result.........I'm happier!
Doing less is sort of a silent witness to everyone that I'm no longer going along with the GB program and yet they can't do anything. I really think many among our circle of friends admire that.
Good luck.
