I feel like I'm becoming angrier and angrier and I try so hard not to. I realize and know that I'm not better then anyone. There are a few people in my life who I just can't get along with anymore and I feel really bad because they like me.
One of them is my older brother's wife. I feel really bad because she drives me nuts. She's very kind and sweet but she is VERY chatty. Its mentally exhausting when she's around because she does not ever stop talking, and its petty, annoying one dimensional subject matter. For one she won't shut up about how much money she's making at her new job or about the recipe she found on an online cookbook. I can lend an ear but when I can't even get a breath in or a word out and the other person is practically spitting on you because they can't speak fast enough, it can be degrading and overwhelming to say the least.
Another is a now distant friend, former best friend. I love him but it has to be at a distance. The relationship if partially toxic. When we hang out he insists on keeping me out all night and makes me feel stupid for wanting to go home and sleep! We used to hang out every day for a year, then he moved to washington for three years and just moved back and is always hitting me up to hang out but I've had to ignore it. I feel bad but its just so exhausting. We're on completely different spectrums. He can go on and on from one social event to another for days with no sleep and food. This guy and his friends are way to thick with sarcasm. You can't have a serious conversation with them and I had to keep my distance because I just can't keep up.
I'm sorry to sound negative and unkind but I am just frustrated. Can anyone else relate in any way?
