I get excited at the idea of new friends. The possibility of having someone that has my back and I've got theirs. But every day I worry about being let down - or get aggrivated with - someone.
I've come to think I judge to harshly. I get annoyed too easily and I feel that I myself am annoying - there I find a contradiction in my actions. I hate that about me.
I wish I could be as easy going as others that I know and see. I feel like I have certain things I have to stand up for... but maybe they get in the way of my social skills. If I constantly am annoyed at someone - because I'm standing up against being pushed around - then I feel I'm just looked at as a mean person. Then again, I have friends who, in my opinion, could stand to be more mean so they wouldn't get pushed around. So here I am - a rock in a hard place. I wish I could find a happy medium - just to let my brain rest.
I am at a weird point in feelings. I am so excited to have people who love me, friends that would be there for me. But at the same time, I somewhat feel badly about the people I have previously dismissed because I CANNOT just be everyone's friend. I am not that kind of girl. If I'm dealing with bull everyday from someone - I eventually give up on a friendship. Is that wrong?
I sometimes feel - well, I shouldn't give up. And other times - I'm so much better off when not being stressed out by this person.
So what do I do?
Continue putting up with things that stress me out even further? Or dismiss people that in my terms aren't worth trying to be more than acquaintences with?
Anyway - right now things are looking up for me. I'm hoping to have a whole new work ethic in my studies and right now the people that really are my friends are shining through :).
As much as I gripe everyday - I do love my life!
