Re: Rant alert - re Lockdown!
eeeew I never said hugging... I dont do hugging.True though, I dont mind doing things for people but I dont want them invading my me time...
Shocked my neighbour this week though, we dont talk much but I got a box of Persil washing powder discs free via an app and I know she is fanatical about washing so I texted her and asked if she wanted them and put them on the garden wall for her..( Im allergic to them)
She was happy but a bit taken aback that Id thought of her..

I assume your post is a pop at me Art, as I know you did not agree with my recent thread about giving comforting hugs when someone is upset.
You are so far off course with your interpretation of me, it's quite amazing.
However, I feel no need to beg your approval, so let's leave it at that.

I like being around the animals more than people, several reasons, BUT, I prefer to mix on my terms these days. I don't do hugging either. I'll help anyone out no bother, but stay out of my life unless invited. Weird? Yes propably but it takes all sorts....including my kind.

Art, we are all different, aren’t we?...we have good days/ bad days...it’s understanding that.
For example, my son is in my bubble, he stayed here for a week, we spoke non stop.
I phoned him last night, it rang and it rang, he never answered it.....I rang a few hours later, he had then put his phone straight onto voicemail.....that was telling me, he was too tired to talk....message received....so left him alone.
Some people just aren’t tuned into the other person, in that way, they are just seeing their own needs being met...hope that makes sense,

Yes Pauline, I can understand that.
Conversation should be a two-way thing, and all I meant was sometimes it is can be difficult to even get to the phone - like recently when I was very poorly.
Even when we are well, it is not always possible to drop everything for an hour.
Having said that, at times it can also be very enjoyable, but just not when I am in the middle of something important. Is that so unreasonable?
A genuine emergency, where someone is in trouble is a different matter altogether.
