Does over caring or over loving a person create problems?
in a way yes and no.you can always over love someone in your mind and heart but if that person doesnt love you as much as you do then your going to find yourself very emoitionally hurt when it over. if your over caring for someone and over loving someone by showing it your going to creep that person out but it depends on what your definition of "over" is. it might create problems in terms of creeping the person out and making them want to be not with you too much. people need their space their own time no one likes to be smuthered all the time.
The same as any other experience in life. The fact is that prison is not all it is cracked up to be. There are a wide variety of myths that are perpetuated about prisons in the US. They are just that, myths. Keep in mind that there is a grain of truth at the root of every myth; the story begins somewhere. As far as prison, most of that is in the past. There is brutality in prison, but in the US today, most of that is perpetrated by staff members against inmates. Take sexual assault for example. Prison rape is one myth that has survived for some unknown reason, and has become the brunt of far too many jokes. It happens, don't get me wrong. But the statistics do not bear out the emphasis it seems to get when a discussion about incarceration comes up. The US Department of Justice Bureau of Statistics shows that sexual assaults of all types occur only 3 in a 1000; that is for every one thousand inmates, 3 are assaulted in some sexual manner. That could be accosting (requests or demands for sexual favors), to touching or groping, to coerced or forced rape. Keep in mind that this statistic comprises the entire 2.2 million inmate population of the US. So, 3:1000 means that the yearly total for all male andfemale inmates in the US is approximately 6,600. Now, here's the frightening part, of the 6,600 inmates assaulted, 67% of them are victims of staff members; those people charged with keeping the public safe from the criminals they watch and keeping the criminals safe from each other. That's 4422 people. Who keeps the inmates safe from the staff? I realize this may not be the answer you were looking for, so here it is. How do you survive prison? Be invisible. Do your time and let everyone do his time. Don't get involved in politics. Don't gamble, don't borrow, don't buy or sell. Do what everyone else who goes through prison and comes out the other side has done: wait. Wait for the day to begin. Wait for your meals. Wait for yard time. Wait for count time. Wait for mail. Wait for store. Wait for library so you can get more books to make the waiting a little more bearable. And, finally, wait for the day that you can go home. You'll notice at the end there that I did not say, "Wait to be free again." For good reason. Those who have been to prison know they never really were free before, and will certainly never be permitted to be free once they re-enter the world. See, "freedom" is a myth also. Oh, "vanity of vanities..."

The book is titled, "The Ascott Maelstrom" by Wallace Robert Brown. You can Google the name of the author or Title, or go to Amazon.com and type in the author or title.
Prisons are not meant to be good places to be. They are not resort communities where people lie around and work on their tans. There are no spa treatments, or excursions (well, there are for court and medical appointments, but those usually require the wearing of leg shackles and belly chains).
There are gangs and violence in prisons, and while these are prevalent, it is not as necessary as some might have you believe to become involved with them. Loners often do quite fine without involving themselves in the imbecilic politics and activities of gangs and gang members.
There is no "Greeting Group" led by anyone named "Bubba" waiting ready to take incoming inmates' innocence.
Some inmates do carry shanks, but it is rare that you would ever see one in the open, let alone used. The supposed prevalence of them is more to serve prison administration reports of how dangerous inmates are, and how important it is to keep them locked up.
Make no mistake, prison is a dangerous place, especially for those who have no concept of respect, and those who have been locked up the longest automatically receive deference for the time they have served. The greatest danger comes from "cops," prison guards, who find pleasure in playing games with people's lives. And, the inmate on staff violence that gets reported, generally does not report also the reason for the attack, which is usually a form of prison karma--what goes around comes around. Especially in prison.
