That is difficult to do if you work or go to school or live with them. I'm a loner and don't do real well in crowds. I only avoid the folks whom I don't enjoy spending time with or chatting with. I'm not a people person in that I'm not really sociable 24/7. On the other hand there are times when I reach out and become a chatty cathy. I just go with what makes me feel happy. Some folks need a lot of people in their lives while others don't. You belong to the latter category which is fine if it's by choice. I do hope there are some folks you delight in being with! Thank you for your reply bevo and Happy Tuesday! :)
I try to treat others the way I would like to be treated. The only time I would do to others first is if a bully was antagonizing someone weaker than he or she is. To try to stop them and try to make sure they didn't do it again. Other than that, I always try to show a level of respect to all. :)
Thank you for your thoughtful answer ru. Well I give folks a chance. I believe them at first. I don't lie so I don't expect to be lied to. I try very hard to be respectful even when I disagree. I mean you CAN disagree and still be agreeable. Naive I know but there ya have it. When I discover I was wrong about someone I just leave or avoid him/her and move on. I don't engage with such folks. I don't like to fight nor retaliate nor be revengeful. It's too hard on me so I just don't do it. SIGH. I wonder how many of them there are out there? The ones you can't trust? :(
