I’m thinking about people today,
some of the ones I know
and some I don’t.
And I wonder why there are some,
who never seem to respond,
while others are just so willing
to give everything.
I have days when I can’t speak
because I feel like everything
will just come out wrong.
Do you ever have days like that?
Sometimes I just want
to be alone with my thoughts.
People take a lot out of me,
I often feel their emotions
weighing me down.

I know the feeling, people often drain you. When they do respond they need a response back which is fine but it’s energy.
Sometimes I just can’t cope with the human race.

So true and some people are overly needy, which contributes to that loss of energy. I guess this is why I’m careful about who I choose to give my time to. I know once my energy is depleted, I won’t feel like doing anything at all.

I know how you feel there… It’s something I’m pretty wary of.

Oh Michelle, I totally get this… I can appear rather extroverted at times but I am truly introverted. Moments of sending energy leave me craving alone time to recharge. It’s like on my blog. I can very present in stretches but then need to go quiet. You seem to experience things on a deeper level so interactions are meaningful to you and they do take energy because you give energy. No need to reply here…just keep thinking and building your energy ☺️

M, it is more than fine to be alone with your thoughts. That is why I walk sans any music. I want to be in nature. All the best, Keith

Humans (each unique) often difficult to interpret their behavioral patterns. Some are sweet and kind (like you) – others are all about themselves. I learned not to expect anything from anyone; therefore I don’t become disappointed. When it comes to problems I now (unless immediate family) refrain from involvement. Sometimes my friend we learn a lesson the hard way – being nice doesn’t come with guarantees. Sad!
