SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH ME-6869
Tonight I have had time to think. I think something is wrong with me. There are too many people I don’t like and don’t want to associate with anymore.
There’s my brother-in-law who really pissed me off before I came to Toronto. I will never talk to him again.
There is my friend here who was very critical and I stopped speaking to her.
There is my friend from bridge whom I will not play with again.
I am not sure if there is anyone else but I realize again that I am better off alone. That is why I will drive home alone. That is why I stay alone most of the time. I guess I should try to figure out why I get so "angry" with people. I need to figure out why people annoy me so much. I need to have more patience. I need to be more tolerant. It’s been like this for a long time. I haven’t changed and I guess I never will. I think I should dig a hole and crawl in!!!!!!!
I kind of feel like that myself it seems I have always had a hard time getting along with people: from high school, in laws when married, couldn’t get alog with people i worked with.I’ve been estranged from family for years. I can’t seem to get along with neighbors in the high rise. Just broke up with gf. I have been isolating myself since then don’t go out don’t talk with anyone. …

nope nothing wrong with you. As you grow your taste in people change. There a person I have been friends with since 1 st grade but I have distanced myself from her A LOT.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with you. You don’t want to be around unpleasent people. That’s normal. RYN:They are all sharing and the baby loves bubbles but so does Cora. I’m taking her out tomorrow because we’ve been lucky with the weather and the ground is finally dry enough so her wheelchair doesn’t get stuck.

It is all about acceptance, you have to accept people the way they are. You can’t change them much as you would like to. Yes they can be annoying but either you accept them as is or leave them. I stopped talking to my BF from high school as I realized she just annoyed the hell out of me. It’s OK to do so. Why bother with annoying people?

we all find we get on better with some people than with others. Perhaps it would help to always attempt to look for the good in people you know rather than just tolerate them or not. Everyone has some good in them. hugs p

My mother has been like that ever since I can recall and she is the first to admit that people get her back up but she cannot accept that she may play a part in difficult relationships. You have a lot of insight but please don’t internalise these feelings. You are who you and are as individual and special as everyone else. I sometimes notice that I behave like my mother (oh my! have I reached that stage already?) and can only put that down to wanting to control a situation. I try to let things go now and turn difficult things (for me) on their head. I use my creativity to work through these feelings. You are creative too – maybe this will help you. Very best wishes, A

What’s wrong with spending time alone? I like going to movies alone and doing all kinds of other activities alone. I’m good company! Ha!

We all have our own personalities, and some people will just rub us the wrong way. Hang in there and do not worry. Love,

I have found that as I get older I am less tolerant of certain people who I dont enjoy being around.. Some people we just drift away from as we take different paths and attitudes.. sad but true.

Lots of good advice up there. Sometimes, it’s just the way we feel more comfortable.

I’m a loner too a lot of the time, but I learned long ago that the only person we hurt when we hold grudges is ourselves. Most of the people like the ones you speak about couldn’t care less what we think. There are a lot of people I don’t have much contact with, but I try to be civil to them when I do see them. I certainly don’t seek them out, but I don’t hold on to the negative feelings. I sometimes wonder if we aren’t tolerant of other people because we don’t feel that good about ourselves or if we’re just generally angry because life itself has disappointed us in many ways. This isn’t meant to be critical of you in any way. You’re not that different from anyone else. You just got me thinking about myself…

Your feelings are valid. I’m beginning to feel much the same way about a lot of people and have begun to spend much more time by myself.

*hugs* I think it’s because you give so much of yourself without seeing much in return. If you didn’t care, the things they did or didn’t do would matter to you. I hope you can find the inner peace you seek.

I came to the realization in my life that the only thing I could control or have influence over was the way in which I reacted to other people. Once I came to that, I found that I was a more peaceful, calm person. I don’t have to live in their skin, only my own. I find that I just don’t let things bother me the way they used to. They are their own problem…not mine! “Let it go” helps me!

The older I get, the more tolerant I am with some people, people that I really WANT to remain friends with, and less tolerant with others, people that I really don’t want to be around. I want to spend time with people that I enjoy and I no longer feel like I have to “like” everyone. Maybe you are experiencing the same thing.
