Frienemy Update

My volunteer project with my frienemy comes to an end today! I am very happy about that. And I'm happy that I won't have to interact with them on any sort of a regular basis until maybe sometime next spring, if that. I'll just be fussier about my next volunteer project.
Part of me feels bad that our friendship is over, in a manner of speaking, but a bigger part of me is relived not have to deal with the BS anymore. Maybe my BS tolerance has dropped; maybe I'm finally growing up? Who knows?
There is a part of me that still can't get over the fact that I seemed to crave this person’s attention and recognition. I guess we truly never leave high school do we?

I think one issue I had getting rid of the frienemies and toxic people is that I've become pickier as to whom I'll let in my life. At least with the old set, I knew their issues and could deal with them. The new ones, well, I just kind of wonder at times if I have the energy to deal with new friends.

Betty, I swear the older I get the less patience I have with people and the more energy they seem to consume. As much as I enjoyed our family Thanksgiving, it took me 3 days to want to even talk to anyone afterwards.

Ha, I'm with Cindy. My tolerance for people has always been far lower than that of other people I know - and as I get older, the less and less tolerant I become! I'm already a hermit - in time I will become a curmudgeon too! I do actually have fabulous friends, but my desire to make new ones is getting less and less with each passing year.
