I just do not understand
Sometimes I feel really out of touch with people my age. I do not know why or what it is... I tend to dislike drama, so I avoid it at all costs, I usually am pretty optimistic and passive. I fit together well with Chris because we are both passive aggressive optimists. Someone once mentioned maybe I should be a therapist... I honestly do not think I could. I always want to fix everyone's problems because I don't like dealing with drama. This would make me such a bad therapist because my patients would never learn anything... they would just be told how to fix their problems... I feel bad because I have friend that I feel I can't relate with at times and I know it hurts their feeling.... I just can't help it because I don't understand their situations and the solution always seems very simple to me. I think part of the problem with me not relating to others my age is that I am very self sufficient... I try not to rely on anyone and do what I can to fix my problems, so when I am presented with a problem the first think I think is "how can I fix this by myself without involving anyone else". I guess I think differently than others. I often have thought this had a lot to do with my upbringing, which is not a bad thing... I actually am glad I was taught how to rely on myself. So, yeah, I am rambling... haha. You know and I would not just say my thoughts on this are relating to any one person, there are a lot of people I would relate this too...past friends, current friends, etc. I could actually create a long list of names that this problem has occurred with. I guess this is the reason I just do not keep a large entourage of friends. I think I am overthinking this, but it is good to get my thoughts out on paper so I can sleep better tonight...
