If the packaging is offputting who cares about investigating content? I don't mean beautiful/handsome. What do I mean?

I am not drawn to people who are surly angry irascible emotional. I don't care how smart they are I'm not interested.

I like quiet calm measured intelligent. Polished not scraggly fractious furious angry.

Now I'm not you nor you me. Some of you adore the emotional outbursts and strident temperamental showstopping discombobulation. Not me. I am a quiet person. I am not always calm but I am drawn to those who are. Good influence. Nice environment. Don't have to deal with emotional babies letting go and wacking out at the top of their lungs. Different strokes of course.

I liked Will Rogers. Intelligent humorous calm quiet insightful not inciteful. Not so much those who are his opposite.

    For me, it’s the other way around.  If the contents are off-putting, who cares about the packaging?  I have come across many people who appear to be nice, but were actually complete … jerks (if you know what I mean).  Who wants to communicate with a person who is always ranting and raving, posting obscenities, or is flat-out arrogant?

    I’m what they call a ‘highly sensitive person’.   On top of that, I’m also an empath.   As such, I tend to avoid people altogether.  Unfortunately, that’s not always an option.  While I try to be nice to everyone, I try to avoid people who are abusive, aggressive, hurtful, nasty, or trouble makers.   People like that weigh me down and usually induce episodes of depression.  Although I try to tolerate everybody, I’m mostly drawn to people who are intelligent, humorous, and nice.

    There is no way to get to the content without going through the packaging first Shuhak unless you have xray vision. Whether the packaging draws you in or repels you content waits for you to reach it. Now setting that aside being an empath means you are always at risk for absorbing the emotions around you. My gosh that is scary to me. Now we've discussed this before sort of I think Shuhak. We can go into a room and IMMEDIATELY be drawn in or repelled by the vibes there. We either stay or leave. But I'm not an empath and I feel for you because that is a very heavy burden to carry. My only understanding of what that means was on Star Trek I think. A very lovely girl was an empath and she felt the pain and the joy and the sorrows exactly as those who surrounded her were feeling them in REAL time. I forgot how long an arc that storyline was but I adored the character though I was always so sad at what she endured. No wonder you like to stay off by yourself. Picking up on all the hurts of others would not be anything I could endure. It pushes its way into your space without your permission and that is a hard way to live a life. Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I'm drawn to the same kind of people as you. I don't like to be talked down to so I don't spend time with folks like that. I'm nobody's fool and no doormat. I admit absolutely loving to be around those from whom I can learn. As you know. SIGH. Going through life is not for wimps is it? It gets your pound of flesh one way or another.
