No friends do I care????

[Lawrence00]

I have gone back to college. In classes, I am typically surrounded by 19 years olds. One class that I just completed had a lot of group activities and I found that everyone was respectful and did not treat me any differently than any other student.

In the gym I find that everyone is welcoming.

None of these are close friendships but I like the energy of being around people that are working on goals.

I have some "real" friends, and some strictly cyber friends. As I have grown older there are more and more cyber friends and less and less real friends. I don't mind, it seems to be the way life is in older age.

... maybe they needed the garden gnome as they have nothing in their lives... give me a break, they are morons, period.

One can't help being a moron. One can easily correct being a thief.

This is so true. I didnt mean to become a recluse. The husband was the last of my charges. His care took up all my time.
Then he was gone. And I had all this time on my hands.

If you think about it snobby people can be quite amusing. Oh you have a cat. Well I have a tiger. You have a house.
Well I have ten houses and a castle. I just smile and say thats nice. And think to myself. I could have that too
if I wanted to be in debt up to my eyeballs. Besides I have enuf trouble keeping track of what I do have.

I would definitely not be recharged. Interacting with lots of people makes me twitchy.
And Im embarrassed to say if forced too long I can get snippy.

the only time I withdraw is when there's loud people//particularly loud women in the group. I'm sure everyone knows the type. super loud, look at me.. dominate the whole conversations... I can't stand that, so i will always leave a situation where there's one or more of these types

There's a young guy at the gym like that and he's decided to be my friend.lol. He is very loud, animated and self absorbed, and the loudness is compounded because he wears headphones so I don't think he realizes how loud he is. I actually cringe when he starts talking to me, it's an assult on my senses, I need to remove myself pretty quickly.
