Re: Liking everyone

I start off liking folk but if they mess me about and betray my frienship/trust then I am an elephant-I never forget nor forgive.


I am reminded of a comment attributed to the late Peter Sellers; When asked `why do people take an instant dislike to me? ` He replied `It saves time`

Re: Liking everyone

I am a very "only in small doses" type of person. I love my own company and feel very irritated if someone attempts to spend more time with me than I'm happy with. People describe me as "warm and friendly" and I think that's true but only for an allotted time. As I get older I find I get more and more precious over time alone.

I don't care if someone lets me down or betrays me to be honest. I don't really rely upon others than much so half the time I probably wouldn't notice.

By the same token I don't expect to be liked by everyone who's introduced to me, I don't meet that many folk though....
Exactly me as well.

We're all different. Would be a helluva boring world if we were all the same. How boring would that be

Re: Liking everyone

Even though I've been burned a few times, I still try to see the good in people.
As I see it, it takes too much energy and negativity to do otherwise!

Yes, I'd much rather spend my energy on other things and remain positive

I am aware of wolves in sheep's clothing. What they get out of it heaven knows.

Re: Liking everyone

Don't change Alice76.

I am quite amiable but sometimes, just sometimes, I take an jnstant dislike to someone, it is a fault ,I know but events often vindicate my aversion.


I would hate to be cloned, the other "ME" would get on my nerves.

Same here - other times it takes longer to know someone, but I continue to be amiable and chirpy, if you're made that way - you are

Re: Liking everyone

Let's put it this way...

The more I get to know people, the more I love my cats.
