So... I'm so sorry I haven't blogged in forever. I guess I've been busy.
A lot of times, when I'm not really fond of a person and they're in my home, my shyness comes out in a really strange way. I get in this awkward "look away from them and not say anything at all" mode. That sounds so ridiculous, and really...IT IS ridiculous. I'm an overly nice person, so there is no reason for me to be rude... Often times, I find myself finding negative in mostly everybody I come in contact with, and I suppose it's a way of distancing myself from getting hurt.. that obviously doesn't work. Did I mention, most of the people who I am like this with, are people that have hurt me in some way or another? Could it be that I'm just surrounding myself with the wrong people? Don't get me wrong, there are a select few that I can tolerate and even love...I don't know, it really has me flustered?
I think I need to learn to accept and tolerate. If I can accept people, people can accept me. That's a good place to start.
Any suggestions for me?

ReplyDeleteit's possible that you could be surrounding yourself with the wrong people... or maybe you should try to look at people differently. I know that's difficult, especially if the person has hurt you in any way... this sounds very similar to me, and I discovered that if I kept it up, I would end up numb and apathetic... which is a horrid way to live.
ReplyDeleteAccept and tolerate, yes. But try to see deep into those whom you find difficult to love. Remember that they are a whole other being, with thoughts, feelings, pasts, emotions and problems, just like you and I. I hope this helps!
