I feel like I’ve driven a lot of people away with my negativity this year, which makes me nostalgic for the days of driving people away with my terrible sense of humor.
I hear you and I understand in that I have a bad habit of “counting my negatives” as a friend once told me decades ago. At 53, I still find myself falling back into the mentality I grew up with from my mom and I have to constantly pay attention to this tendency.
Sending a hug over ♥️
@see_the_sus Thank you so much. I’m currently having the worst year of my life, and I think most of my friends are tired of hearing about it.
I often worry about this same thing but I'm getting better at allowing myself to see that if they are truly a good friend, then they'll stick by us no matter what. Well, I suppose there are some no-coming backs from. 😁
The last three years of my life have been pretty fuckin' shitty, what with dealing with mom who was finally diagnosed with dementia in '21, my health taking a nosedive, and then me moving back to help my mom. Yet, my friends still call me up for coffee & such. ♥️
I hope that your friends are true and kind and that they'll not walk away merely because you're going through a rough patch. ♥️
@see_the_sus I'm sorry you've had such a difficult few years, and I'm happy to hear that you have friends who have stuck by you!
