It's also easier to drop people & walk away when they don't do what you want rather than to try to work on a relationship.

Maybe you don't feel that anyone is really worth putting any effort into making a relationship work?

This is a good thing for you to think about.

I know that I didn't have friends when I lived in my unhappy marriage....I had acquaintances that I would see when I felt like it & didn't have to bother with when I didn't.

Then I left my husband & left all the anger I had penned up inside of me.....actually in KY, I have found the most wonderful people (many have moved here from elsewhere)....but I have many different groups of people that I am involved with & have friends who we do so much for each other.....unconditional friendships are wonderful.

I have found that being accepting of people for who they are....sort of live & let live without a judgmental attitude really helps.....but we all come together & are there for each other just as I always thought that friendships were like in my imagination...NOW they are for real.

One of my friends said that she loves getting together with me because I accept her no matter what.....I don't force her into doing or being something that she isn't at the time.....unconditional acceptance. We are able to talk through so many things & share so many thoughts & beliefs.....& another friend.....it's the same even though we think differently about many things, we have wonderful discussions & with her, we have many horse things in common that we have fun doing together.

I have come to know so many wonderful people who are wonderful because they are who they are.....not because they are what & who I want them to be.

Sometimes our general attitude about things gets in the way of our social interactions if we let too many things bother us or aren't willing to let go & just let people be. Just as we don't want people telling us what to do or how to do it....others don't like that either even though you may be the one walking away from them.
