I am a people's person

hi allknowing I like people too but i get so sick of hearing how horrible life is now and how all people do not care for anyone but themselves.this same lament was written back in 1200 too.I think we see what we expect to see and if we treat people like we want to be treated, they will be friendly and out going too,We can still work a bit to get friends out of a cocoon as if we are friendly to them often it rubs off and they return our friendship.I think a lot of us reap what we have sown,in that we go around bemoaning life and people and do not realize we put off people by being sour and grumpy and really unfriendly ourselves.

I used to be very social too but over the years, I have grown to enjoy not being around so many people. I am not sure that it was the people or if it was me that changed. It didn't happen all at once...it was over a period of time and experiences.

You know my experiences. :) Its been a hard journey. :) Still went on with a smile ..most of the time. Had very few friends ..rest were just hi and bye variety. So eventually when they expressed their rights on my properties even while my pa is alive ..I had to tell them what I thought of them. Poor souls ..they were shocked. There is nothing they can do to correct or cover up their wrongs. And they did wrong me. Of course there is some heart burn. After all, they could have taken up all my retirement savings, and enjoyed wearing a few more costly clothes, while leaving me to do work in their kitchens and perhaps even job of maid. I would get a bed of course. I am just wondering whether it would be in my kitchen or my balcony..oh sorry..their kitchen or their balcony. How ungrateful I sound. I would have a roof on my head, wouldn't I? I am simply not harmonious person..not the mixing nature..dont have values for relations..I AM BAAAAAAAAAAAAD..LOL

I understand where you are coming from. as i get older i feel myself getting less tolerant. I refuse to surrond myself with negative people, weather it be work, social or family life. as i get older i appreciate the more positive people and try to associate myself with them and cut out the folk who bring me down, and there are plenty of them! I am not sure if this is a natural thing that you aquire with age but i feel the better for it and so do my family.
