i have some achievements, a phd, a published book… but the thing I consider my biggest most meaningful achievement is finding a friend group in my late 30s that actually recharge my social battery. I love them so much. I genuinely admired them when I first met them and I cannot believe they are now my best friends.
Good friends are priceless. Very happy for you. :)
Wait you’re an actual doctor‽
yep. won’t confirm or deny the octopus part
“You wouldn’t know it, from some of the things I’ve said over the years, but I like people. I do. I like people, but I like them in short bursts. I don’t like people for extended periods of time. I’m ok with them for a short period of time, but once you get up past around a minute, minute and a half, I gotta get the fuck out of there. And my reason for this is one that you may share, possibly — I have a low tolerance level for stupid bullshit.”
- George Carlin
no i miss people all the time they just hate me
Eventually, it balances out.
Even if they love you and you want it, or when they love you and you don’t want it, or when you don’t have it; it’s too much.
Lack of &/or excess of anything is not good.
IE: I like you, but you wouldn’t want 1 billion of me liking you.
i just wanted roughly a half dozen of them to like me, not a billion
and they did for a while
but then i became “too much” and they exiled me despite my protests
I mean yeah but I also love them… But I hate em.
Best answer.
And they’re so irritating and of course misunderstandings are always my fault.
I don’t hate people (except strangers; they seem to always rude—maybe it’s because I don’t remember the others). I actually like them, sometimes. I just wish I had some friends.
*sigh* A girl can dream.
I don’t hate them. Hate is a rather strong emotion and would require something deliberate, malicious and targeted towards me specifically by someone to deserve the effort it takes hate them. I’m not even sure i am capable of hating someone. I can be frustrated by their actions or even angry in the moment, but that all dissipates.
Though yeah, overwhelming majority of the time it’s easier when they’re not around, because navigating the interactions with them can be like navigating a “minefield”. I never know how some will react and the reward for navigating is rather non-existent.
Presence of people is just annoying. I was already doing something and being disturbed is always annoying and now i need to load up the profile of interacting with you in exchange of what …?
Of course there is nuance to it.
depends on ppl itself, usually i hate all ppl around, but exception for idk cute cool ppl maybe
