Nonsensical Thoughts

I'm not very good at confiding in people anymore. I seem to keep closing off myself to people who used to be my friends - my best friends. And I don't know what it is. Maybe it's just because I don't see them much because I'm so busy and when we do get together it's almost a feeling of obligation to report up on my life and what's happened. I just don't think I can do it. And then when I do realize that it's been awhile since I've seen them and I get that feeling, it's almost as if I postpone our meeting as long as possible in fear of having tell them and go through everything I did since the last time I saw them. And it's not just with me, but what's been going on in my ENTIRE life that they need to know, to be my best friend or whatever. And I don't think I can tell them all that because I'm afraid of what they'll think of my family. I could really care less about what people think about me, but when you judge or patronize or think different of the people I love, well then it's a completely different story. I don't update many people about the happening of my life for those specific reasons. People I was once friends with or once close with have a tendency to judge the things I say my family has been put through...well that's not right. I don't know. All I know is that I can't bare other people looking at my family in a negative way or judging them or giving a look of disgust because that's my family, and without them, I don't make sense.

  1. I appreciate you saying all this Casey. I am guilty as charged. If you read my lastest post, you'd see that. It stems from my love of young people. It breaks my heart to see what happens when parents break their kids hearts. But your words remind me it is not mine to judge. That when someone is going through tough things like you are, a listening ear without judgement is called for.
    I have felt that over the years as John and I have struggled. Oh have we struggled! When all I wanted was someone to listen, friends would judge and say mean things about him. Didn't help. I wish you would feel free to share more like you did that one night.
    Can I also tell you, Kristin and Tara went through the whole feeling disconnected thing as well. It goes with the time of life. It is a transient time of life. Where is "home?" Who are my friends. Who am I? Very "normal" questions.

    You are loved Casey Mae.
