When I was young I wasn't aware that anyone mattered except for myself. Around the age of 13 I was made brutally aware that people viewed me as stuck up and selfish. It was a hard age to learn that kind of information and I shut down a bit. When I was prepared to "come back out of my shell" I started tip-toeing around others. Always putting them before me. Walking on egg shells. Never wanting to offend. I'm 29 and still behave this way.
Therefore going into this whole new phase of learning people don't like me is a bit of a surprise. Especially to the extent that someone would go so far as to block me from their FB when there are so many other ways to avoid someone on FB without going that far.
This was not the only rough part of my day, but it kind of kicked things off and then it contiuned to lurk in the shadows. Now I've spent a day thinking about it and finally come around to a good place.
I have a little boy in my life who is almost 2. He depends on me and he loves me unconditionally. I have a husband who also loves and depends on me. What more does a person really need beyond that? And to top it off we just moved into our first home, which is incredible! Plus I have the most amazing friends surrounding me. The best thing about these friends? I don't have to tip-toe around them and worry myself about offending them. That's the best thing about real friendships. I may not have hundreds of people to call and divide my time up between. But the people I do get to call are incredible people who are more like family. I am so lucky to have them.
