johnbron : That was the most uplifting thing I've read or heard about a relationship this year. I don't know you, but I wish you all the best!
It's my birthday on Thursday and I haven't sent out any invites to the people (err, friends?) that have been nothing but stressful for me concerning their relationsships. For once I want to talk about the good things in live and not have a deep conversation until the early hours. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to help and I enjoy it a big deal, especially when people are thankful, but there are 3 to 4 people who speak nothing but negative and keep asking for advice they won't even take, yet they keep calling and asking. It was all fun and games in the beginning, but this is getting poisonous in a way that it is affecting my own relationships. On the other hand these people tend to get angry at me when I in return don't listen to their advice. Which I didn't even ask for. Who am I anyway, taking tipps from people who screw up in the very departements? Jeez!
I've accumulated some strange people over the past years, mostly from university. Sometimes it sucks being a "lone wolf" and being part of many circles of friends but not having a single one that I always return to. My fencing team might be the only place where there are sane people right now and my ex-boss. Yet again I'm not close friends with the majority of them, just good team mates and colleagues.
So enough of playing Freud, now it's about assembling the people again that make me feel good (physical or on the mind)! Has anyone experienced something like this? How did you get out of it? Has anyone managed to give their inner circle a total make over? Of course some of them are dear friends but for the love of god I have my own issues (quite minor ones I've come to realize talking to my peers) to solve and I just have to be selfish here and then to pursue my own life, dreams and motivations.
