Talk me out of it.

[Breeze54]

I've decided that I can't stand people anymore.

They're irritating and obnoxious and the less I have to deal with them, the better.

Am I going through a mid life crisis? :shrug:

I used to love people and was even nicknamed "Sunshine" in my younger years. :P

I was always so happy and pleasant and sweet.

Not anymore.

Now, I'm

[some guy]

1. Go for it

become a hermit. You're blood pressure will thank you.

[Breeze54]

3. I'm already a 'hermit.'

:(

[styersc]

14. I'm also a hermit, but I think that makes people even more

irritating.

I do, however, believe that if anyone ever called me Sunshine, I might become violent.

Maybe all the hermits on earth should get together and form a therapy group, or sorority or fraternity. We could collect dues and go on field trips.

[Breeze54]

16. I liked the nickname at the time but I was

19 and very naive' at the time. ;)
I was a kid when that was going on and I was young and beautiful and dumb! :P

Maybe that's why I feel violent now, when I encounter idiots? :shrug: :rofl:

[redqueen]

2. It's a phase I bet...

I'm sorry you're feeling that way... I know that feeling well. I get it in traffic often. :P

[Breeze54]

4. I don't drive much anymore because

I get soooo pissed off!! And I can't stand store clerks anymore either.

Everyone is grating on my nerves. Argh!

And I hate it!! :cry:

[redqueen]

7. Yoga?

I find it very relaxing... helps me to deal with those situations where I just want to reach out and slap someone.

:hug:

[FloridaJudy]

30. I'll second the Yoga

Also meditation. Also spending time with your cat/dog/iguana/tropical fish.

Sometimes you just have to withdraw from the world for a time. Draw, paint, write poetry, teach yourself a musical instrument, fly kites, garden - whatever captures your imagination. Personally, when I get the urge to slap the snot out of humanity, I make quilts or play with my Tibetan singing bowls.

Or just lie on the sofa with a cup of hot chocolate and a trashy novel.

[Breeze54]

33. Quilts!

I've always wanted to make quilts and learn how and it's funny you
said that because I've been thinking a lot about what designs I'd make.

You're right!!

I should now focus my energy on creativity and just screw the world; for a while.

Thanks for reminding me. ;)

[Breeze54]

11. I hope it's a phase because I hate this feeling.

:cry:

[redqueen]

23. awww honey...

I wish I could give you a real hug... :pals:

[Breeze54]

27. You just did.

Thanks. :hug:

:toast:

[begin_within]

5. Cats and dogs are so much better as friends.

[Breeze54]

8. Wah?

:shrug:

Ok, I'm also slow tonight! :P

I love dogs but I can't have any pets here. :(

[begin_within]

17. Take a walk...

...go to the nearest park and just sit and people-watch, especially kids playing and see their joyfulness at just being alive.

[Breeze54]

20. You're right actually. I need to

get out more.

Maybe just watching the children play will warm my heart up again.

Thanks. :hug:

[DS1]

6. some do

[derby378]

9. Ewww

We're trying to cheer up Breeze54, not gross her out!

[Corgigal]

10. OMG

I'm in my middle years and discovered that I can't stand most people. Quick move in next door to me and we will never pester or visit each other. Ha.

[Breeze54]

13. Lol!

I would never bother you! :P I'm very quiet at my place.

I used to be a loud partier with lots of people dropping by.

But those days are gone and so are they. :(

The police were only called once in the last eight years! :P

Funny how friends move away and die and life changes...

It sucks!!!!

[havocmom]

12. Have some soy nuts, throw some chick peas on your salad or make hummus

and hide out for awhile ;)

[Breeze54]

15. k

:hug:

[havocmom]

18. Have a yam too.

Plant estrogens are GOOD for us!

:hug: back at ya.

Oh, and want some rock 'n roll?

::havocmom stumbles off singing Dancin the night away...::

[mainegreen]

19. Talk you out of it? No way, I say go for it.

People don't make enough effort to spend quality time with themselves.
Go for it!

[hippywife]

21. Wish I could.

Maybe then I could talk myself out of the same situation. :hi:

[Breeze54]

25. Thanks for letting me know...

that I'm not alone. I hate feeling this way.

:hug:

[Breeze54]

22. I cut my hair the other day too.

My son actually said, "WTF? You CUT your hair?!?"

I only cut off 6 inches but it's still down to my butt. :P

I plan on cutting even more!

With the humidity lately, after the cut?

It started curling up! OMG!! :)

I'm going to cut more off but not real short, just below my shoulders seems right.

I think I need a big change! NOW!!!!!!!

[redqueen]

24. Hah!

I did the same thing (by accident... I only wanted 5 or 6 inches off and she took 12!)... and mine started curling, too!

I hope if you make some big changes, that it helps with what you're feeling. :D

[Breeze54]

26. Maybe a haircut and a

dye job will be the trick. I'm so gray now! Argh!

Unbelievable!

I want my strawberry blond back! :P

[redqueen]

31. Whatever makes you happy darling...

as for me I love my grey... my sis threatens to drug me and dye it... I said if she did, I'd shave her head!
:D

She loves it though, the dyeing... so if you'd like to, go for it!

[alarimer]

28. What took you so long?

I came to this conclusion in kindergarten. I used to hug people randomly when I was a little, little kid but now, I don't even like to shake hands.

[Breeze54]

29. I guess I loved and trusted people...

despite how crappy they treated me.... maybe I just wanted to be liked.

Now, I feel like I have a sort of 'permission' to feel what I really feel and say it out loud.

I'm guessing my children made me suppress those feelings. I really wanted to be a good example for them.

I was treated like crap by my parents, teachers and my molestor at age five..

It was a difficult thing to deal with, growing up and even now...

[BlackVelvet04]

32. Have you been spending time in

GD? If so, that would explain it.

[Breeze54]

35. LMAO!

All the time and I got reprimanded last week for being a brat.

That did piss me off, as the (oh nevermind) freepers were multiple.

But I think I'm also feeling lonely and like an empty nester.

My youngest just graduated HS and is never here anymore.

I need some new people in my life. I know it.

[BlackVelvet04]

36. I don't have children and have

been unemployed since the end of October.....I know what you mean about new people.

Hope things start looking better for you soon. Maybe we should both stay out of GD. ;-)

[Deja Q]

34. I've been a hermit my entire life. Not entirely by choice either.

I'm apathetic.

Maybe I'll find somebody who'll help me change my mind again too.

BTW: As a kid I was called "Guy Smiley"... (amongst other things, but G.S. was by far the least offensive, despite being used in an offensive way...)

[Breeze54]

37. I split from here and went to my club about an hour ago and...!

Funny thing happened!! :P

The guy that was bartending there, 3 months ago? He remembered me!!

How cool is that?!? And he's cute, single and sweet and a nice person!

He even remembered what I like to drink; without the lime! :P

And apologized because some old farts said the music I played was to loud! :P

:rofl:

Made me feel better. A lot better.

;)
