Ever since I was a kid I have kept to myself and as a adult it has gotten worse.i have nosey neighbors and I can't stand them.so I avoid them as much as I can.plus I been hurt so much by my family and ex friends that I don't trust 90% of people I meet.i belong to a epilepsy support group and use to be friends with a few people from that group but they wouldn't keep their mouth shut about the group in front of total strangers.i like my privacy and I hate big mouths like my nosey neighbors or ex friends.the epilepsy group I belong to has a privacy policy where clients aren't supposed to discuss the group outside of the group.the last ex friend that discussed the group outside the group I told on & the epilepsy foundation told her that if she kept bringing up the group in public she would no longer be aloud to be in the group.also growing up my mother would open her big mouth and tell Complete strangers and family members I don't like my business and that I am on disability.she died late last year and her big mouth still affects my life today.i was even bullied as a kid because my mom would tell people I am retarded etc.my mom never learned to keep her big mouth shut.i also hate where I live because people I don't even know their names ask me rude questions that are inappropriate.my counselor I see 2 times a month is trying to talk me into volunteering so I can meet new people and make new friends.but I admit I am scared & avoiding volunteering because I don't want to meet new people that might end up hurting me.
