It takes a long time. I don't become friends with anyone easily (in real life), but when I do I'm a very loyal friend. However, if the line is crossed and I become foe, it'll be cold day in he** before I'll be a friend to that person again.
I either "click on" immediately or I don't Shuhak. For me it's instantaneous. Some folks give off very offputting "vibes" for lack of a better description. I'm VERY SENSITIVE to "vibes". Of course it takes awhile for that "clicking" to turn into deeper friendship. When a line is crossed I go away and don't go back. I can no longer trust that person so why set myself up for another whack? I don't care how smart someone is I do not tolerate being condescended to, talked down to or embrace/accept snide or snarky. Life's too short to put up with that! SIGH. Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday. How are your wrists doing? Better I hope! :)
I'm very sensitive to vibes as well. If someone's putting off bad vibes, I take an instant disliking to them - even if I've never met them.
I'm doing better. I wear wrist braces at night and when I'm on the computer. They help some, but I still limit my computer time. Unfortunately, not much can be done about the arthritis part of my problem. Time and excessive use have taken their toll.
I think if we live long enough EVERYONE will get arthritis Shuhak eventually. Glad you're doing better. Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday to you m'dear! :)
