Yep. Another one that gets it. I was always little miss social and had tons of friends. Not so much anymore. I think with age I just realized that I don't want one sided friendships anymore. I need someone that can tolerate the good/bad and ugly with me. Those friends are REALLY hard to find. I honestly don't have a ton of time to invest in superficial friendships. They tend to be to taxing on my emotions. I just need to focus on my kids and business. I don't need other people dragging me down.
SO in saying all of that........I am VERY limited to who I let it. I have a few. Other than that, I just can't allow myself to go there. I have become very much of a hermit over the last couple of years. I am totally okay with that. Not a lot of people can handle my strong personality and opinions anyways. It is just easier this way. Lucky for me, I do have few strong friendships that are there no matter what.
