As I make my way through this world and interact with various people, it has occurred to me that honesty is the best policy !
My daily interactions include social media...work-life and physical, eye to eye contact in the real world, juggling has become a particular skill I have developed.
One skill I have yet to develop is the one of pretending to be somebody's friend.....I won't do it...I can't do it !
There are various reasons....my Private life is exactly that...Private !
Others include..."I don't Care"....not particularly about you, but about your dramas....your behaviour towards others and in some cases your selfishness towards the world at large.
I have another skill.....reading people and YES I am very good at it, my intuition has preserved my sanity on many occasions.
I won't share in something I find distasteful and I won't be associated with certain behaviours either, I pride myself on those around me these days....People that exude Love, a love of life, of people, of Family and Friends and avoid conflict whenever and wherever possible !
So to sum up....PLEASE do not expect me to rush forward with arms open ready accept you, I need time to understand your motives....we all have motives and to deny that would be foolish, eventually we all see through this thin veneer...and it ends badly for everyone.
To some I seem cold, which is fine by me....I have certain self-preservation tactics in place...to others, my True Friends....they know me, they know my high exacting standards and they accept me, one thing I will never do is take that acceptance for granted...I am truly blessed by those around me !
So before you expend energy chasing my attentions....consider if you will how you are perceived by the rest of the world, this is not a judgement, it is a way we all fit together...if you are abrasive towards others, then friction will occur on many levels.
For each of us there must be some modification implemented in order for us to survive in this world....for each of us we must accept that acceptance is Not guaranteed !
