I have a problem in that I continuously seem to make friends with people that are wrong for me. I am super down to earth and usually am very kind and open. Perhaps the issue is that generally, I am open to all. But not everyone is open to me.
So people that I welcome in, and want to come in... come in... and turn out to be not like me at all. I suspect that most people like me are highly selective about who they let into their lives and sort of do it the opposite. They are highly selective and stand offish but once they let someone in, then they are open and kind and friendly.
I don't want to be standoffish and selective. But being open and down to earth continues to send the wrong people my way.
Also, I recently made yet another "friend" that is wrong for me. We have be talking for 6 months about generalities. But I have recently realized she as a person is in a completely different space from me and frankly, I don't want to deal with her disastrous life which, is just about to explode. I feel guilty about wanting to leave her in a lurch but I also know in my heart that I owe her no obligation. And frankly I feel like not telling her off is doing her a disservice. Perhaps she needs someone to be rude to her and light a fire under her but... not that I think I will do that.
Anyone else?
