One of the privileges of being over 50 is learning to remove people who are toxic to you, make you feel uncomfortable or you simply don’t like. I”m still learning this lesson; it’s a hard one. I’m working on it!
I value feeling good about myself more than having people I meet be around me who are arrogant, idiots or mean. Recently I met some more, and I keep my distance.
I thank you for writing this, and agree with you wholeheartedly!
“Unlikeable” people seem to be everywhere, which means that we must have a world full of insecure and/or unhappy people. That makes me sad, but it doesn’t mean that I have to hang out with them. It’s an ongoing lesson for me: If I don’t “like” someone then I need to politely walk away.
by this time in our lives, we know what we are looking for in people to spend time with – nothing wrong with making sure you enjoy them!
This is a lesson my husband and I had to learn early when dealing with certain members of his extended family. Sometimes you just need to walk away. There is no ill will, just a desire to keep my own life as sane and drama free as possible. I wish them well, just well away from me and mine.
