Have you ever met someone that you instantly disliked or on the flip side someone that you just click with at the first meeting? Someone asked the question recently as to why we sometimes don’t like some persons at the first meeting. For me very often it’s beyond first impression. It’s just instant dislike. Very often you can’t show that dislike especially if you work with the person. It’s easier if you don’t have to interact with them at all but life is not like that. You can’t always ignore the people you don’t like. Life would be so easy if that could happen. Think about the feeling of not having to be near the persons that cause you stress. But is it the person that causes you the stress or is it your intense dislike of them that creates the stress?
There are some people that I have to interact with that I ensure I will only put out the minimum effort to have anything to do with. I’m too old to try being everyone’s friend. It’s not necessary to like everyone and have everyone like you. Life doesn’t work like that. Why would I push myself to try pleasing all. That is what will cause stress. I’m the most important one in the equation. If I don’t take care of me then how do I take care of anyone else? I guess it’s my personality. I’ve been in so many situations where I just try to blend in instead of trying to have everyone seeing me. It takes so much out of me to try being friendly to all. It’s harder when it’s persons I don’t like. It’s perfect if I can just ignore them.
One thing I’ve noticed is that persons don’t have to do or say anything at all to me for me to feel as if I don’t want the person in my space. Very often I can’t explain that feeling. It’s just a feeling. I even have it with family. Some you just have to accept because they are family and you don’t get to choose them. I just keep them at arm’s length. I don’t do drama and so I prefer to have my life calm rather than in turmoil. My peace of mind is the most important thing. That’s why when you get home it should be peaceful. Life should be about peace and calm not drama. For the life of me I can never understand why some people like chaos. They just seem to always pull drama and chaos to them. It’s interesting that they don’t seem to understand that it’s not normal and it’s stress. How does one live in that stressful environment all the time. I don’t need that kind of negative energy around me constantly. It gives me headaches. But to each their own.
