I'm not sure even what to begin with. Here are few thoughts.
* they actually care about themselves only. I don't want people to be polite to me, asking what I did last weekend. They don't care anyways.. They just can't wait to yap all about theirs..
* I have very few friends.. Most have turned away. When I invite them to my birthday, they are busy.. or come for an hour-two tops.. and then go away, because of "other plans". And they wait for one of the guests to leave, so it's "OK" for them to go too... Maybe I invite wrong people, cause I get 2 bday invitations per year..
* I know when people lie to me. The only person who doesn't lie is my better half. He is the only person I trust, and I like him as a person.
I would really, really like to like people and appreciate them for who they are, but I just don't know where to start. Maybe if I change my opinion about them somehow, then things will change for me too.
Do you have any tips?
