Hmmm...wonder what they are talking about?
Apparently the optimist I live with insists that this experiment in turning a realist into, at the very least, an optimistic pessimist must continue. I had a really bad day yesterday and it was all due to my reacting to what I perceived as others motivations. I tend to do that a lot. Probably why I tend to get in trouble all the time. I think I am, not necessarily a mind reader, but more of an empath. I read people's emotions and of course if they are not all roses and cherries it must be because of me and I try to pry out of them what I did to piss them off. Which of course pisses them off at me even if they weren't to begin with. Is it any wonder why I tend to sway to the dark side? It is especially frustrating when I have to take responsibility for setting the stage for it.
I am sure I am the only one out there who does this. (comments of support that I am not the only one would truly be appreciated. Lie if you have to. I am gullible.)
Ummm...no, you're not the only one (and you DO know that). The world doesn't revolve and you or me...as much as we would like to think it does at times. Although, I am learning that being an empath can have its advantages. Remember that word - ACCEPTANCE? Maybe you're just supposed to ACCEPT who you are...the perfectly you Mary - and use what you have to better serve you and others?
