Feeling very hacked off for some reason. It might be post cabin fever from the last few days, lack of sleep, and/or 101 other things. Terry also seemed out of sorts tonight, but maybe it was me. I guess we're not close friends any more, at least that was the way it felt. It suddenly hit me that other than my sister I don't really have a best friend, or even anything approaching that.
I feel like I need a vacation from this planet...
I agree the world is getting more selfish. Everyone seems to be retreating into their defensible little "castles". Along with an overall reduction in tolerance for others, whilst painting a veneer of over-the-top friendliness for those who fit in. It would be amusing if it weren't so sad.
As you say, I try to be true to myself but it reaches points where it gets very wearing. And you're also right that I should give people better "feedback" when they annoy me, something my therapist said as well. Not that anyone has specifically annoyed me this time (I think)...
