I have friends who think the same way...white picked fence, 2.5 children, home in the suburbs. It used to irritate me. I'm not the type to conform to society's standards. In time I've learned to accept their ideologies and even see the positives things in them. What I will not tolerate, however, is their snot-nose attitude to the contrary. If that's what they do, so be it. I just don't have to be around it anymore...and that's my choice.
Funny...I've always believed in the things I've just said but haven't exemplified it lately. As I am typing this I feel that I 'materialize' my thoughts - kind of making it more of a reality for me rather than a theory of some sort. Hah wow, typing things out really help!

the friends i had who were negative got the nerve to tell me to stop being negative. yea, how does a negative person tell another negative person to stop being so negative? such an oxymoron. i also told my therapist about making new friends is now scary to me as it never was in the past because of being unemployed who wants to hang with an unemployed person that u feel u have to pay for them all the time?
i said i dont know many unemployed having or keeping friends it seems as long as ur employed with money flowing in u will get friends.
