As caregivers/helpers, we’re already dealing with un-ending stress. Add to that people we bump into who get on our nerves:
What kind of people get on your nerves?
It can help to let it out. For me, it’s rude people. And people who do things behind your back.
Well said. The ones we feel like saying, Give me a break.
It's good to know where people stand.
She's the only person I've ever known where we could just sit and not even talk and it was just fine. No pressure ever to talk or be anything but who we were.
Love you Mom!
My husband and I are on vacation visiting our two sons and daughter-in-law. DIL just started a new job last week doing in-home speech therapy for early childhood patients.
Someone in one of those homes just couldn't be bothered to cancel their appointment because someone was sick, and DIL was down with Covid within 36 hours.
I'm now the only one left standing. Four people in this house have it, and I'm cooking, cleaning, walking the dog, picking up prescriptions and groceries, and I don't want to catch it. I know I will, too.
Ironically, two weeks ago my DIL left a hospital job she had throughout Covid doing post-stroke speech therapy for patients with Covid. She never caught it there.
Hmm.. let me think...probably about 98% I've met.. I agree with others too about genuine people and not pretentious people.
I think there's group of certain usernames that sound really genuine on this forum for instance.
It's hard to meet a true friend for example; someone that will not bail on you the moment things get tough, someone you can depend on and will not judge you. I knew someone like this once. No longer on this planet, but still missed.
I believe there are, friends, and there are, true friend in this world, by the time you're taking tally of remaining friend in your life, the true one's for a lot of people will be 10 fingers minus 9 fingers, and some never have a true friend.
I guess if people have partners, their other half is supposed to be their true friend.
In desperate situations—survival situations—you'll soon see who your true friends are. So it's people who pretend to be good friends but end up being superficial when you need them most.
