first ever blog

Less than one minute read time.

just random thoughts... thought at 44 I'd seen my share of disappointment and people not being what they seemed but heyho even I can still be surprised. I thought I was a good judge of people and their character, apparently not! Am amazed at my capacity to still be let down by people... perhaps I am too trusting...but I choose that over cynicism everytime. This will make no sense to most but it does to me and that's all that matters. Well to me at moment that is...tomorrow's another day

    So sorry if you have been let down Maxine, in times of need we do learn who our real friends are.

    Better to expect the best and be let down than to loose the capacity to trust people, we may be open to hurt but also open to true friendship.

    take care

    Hi Max,

    Understand the disappointment thing, but  once a third party pointed out, that it was not about me, but about the person who disappointed me.  About how scared they were, how upset they were and how hard they found it to cope with my illness that I approached the relationship with a different perspective. I had initially thought this would be someone I could rely on to give me strength.  When I thought about it, I had always been the strong one in our relationship, me being sick was not something the other person had ever contemplated dealing with. Not sure if this helps, but try and think about why you are disappointed. I realised it was because I was expecting the other person to behave like me and really there was no reason why they should. I now have a better relationship with the person I was disappointed in, and we are now being very honest with each other about what we expect of each other. It can be worth going back over it if there is something possitive to be gained. I hope things can be sorted out and your disappointments put behind you, people are basically good and an awful lot of people are really helpful.
