Fun or a Burden?

It seems like everytime I begin to socialize it is always filled with drama. I like to hang out with friends, and I get tired of never socializing. Then when I start to hang out with people again, it doesn't matter if they are from church, they always seem to cause problems. I end up not socializing sometimes months at a time till I get bored again and start trying to hang out with new people. Its like no matter how cautious and selective I try to be, I get the same thing all over again. Is it just people? Sometimes I feel like it is me, but I know I am not the one causing the problems. I'm just ready to give up trying to meet decent people because I feel like its trying to find a needle in a hay stack.

" I'm just ready to give up trying to meet decent people because I feel like its trying to find a needle in a hay stack." Well, well, this is a huge statement. Your body language could perhaps be the culprit in that you must be giving them a complex making them feel that you are holier than them. Perhaps you could try and change this attitude a bit and see if you will then find 'decent' people. Just a thought.

No, I am always really nice to people, and its like I just get stepped on. I am a psychology major, and I'm really starting to see that it is kind of the truth when the professors tell you in the U.S. most people have some kind of disorder. Don't get me wrong, for a job I would like to help people, and I do all the time even with my ministry and with friends, but its hard when it seems like I keep running into people who pretend to be nice, but just have selfish or bad intentions that go along with it. I have a handful of really good friends that I have been friends with for years, and I think for awhile it will have to stay that way because I'm just tired of putting myself out there and people hurting me in return.

Try to accommodate others, as they are.
