Jeff - Why not try what I would like to call the Blaise Pascal Approach
to the problem?  Pretend to be nice, warm, sensitive, etc.  OK?  Just act 
out the role, but do it consistently.  Meantime, keep praying and trying
and so forth to actually be nice, warm, sensitive,etc.  If the change takes 
place, then GREAT.  If it doesn't, then not to worry, because you will have 
the joy of all those people around you who think your so nice, warm, 
sensitive, etc.

Yeah, I know, there are objections to this.  (The Blaise Pascal Approach to
being a christian [if you're a non-believer] has the same sort of 
difficulties.)  Anyway, it's an idea.  
(Pascal thought his approach to being a christian was pretty neat, and Pascal
is clearly one of the great geniuses of the world, so maybe the approach
is better than it seems to us dummies.)
