Good morning...

I suspect it is mating season for the cats and that is why they are behaving strangely. This morning four of them arrived, the rest I don't know, hopefully in a day or two things will normalize again.

AH. Coffee time. There is some wind outside but nothing much. Some sporadic rain but still openings in the sky..

Today is my last qigong class of the seminar. Tomorrow we said we'll meet again, do a very brief short session and go all together for a coffee.

Today I was supposed to meet with an elderly friend of mine but I am letting her go. She has been my friend for many years but as of lately, my whole body reacts very negatively when I am to meet her and I will do that. I have only four days before I leave, and there are other things I want to do.
She has been a psychologist and psychoanalyst and I think partially that character is what I am having troubles meeting. She is always asking very penetrative questions and has me talking about things I'd rather not, or I'd rather talk on my own time. She then makes conclusions and I don't appreciate that, another creating narratives about my life, without me asking about it.

I always have a problem with everything the last days, I can see that.

I wil drink my coffee in silence, environmental and mind....

I have a sister in law much like your elderly friend. It always felt that she was always analyzing everything I said. Not that she said anything but just picked up on that vibe.
Enjoy your coffee in peace and may there be joy in your day.

@SageWanderer yes it is not nice when this happens... The heart is missing somehow, too much focus on the brain and mind.
I never like the kind of conversation where it feels like the other person is analyzing me rather than a back and forth exchange of ideas, stories and emotion

@Ghostinthemachine she's skillful and experienced in a way that there is a flow... but there are things I rather keep and not be asked about, and talk on my own terms if and when I feel comfortable.
She is also 73 years old now and I am torn between being respectful towards her and speaking my mind and the way she is demanding private information, I don't feel good.
It has been sometime that I have been feeling like that. And a part of me thinks too that it is the same from her side, as if she is not enjoying our conversations any longer... or I can't tell. I need a break from her.
She has also made a story about me how I am going to an ashram in Bali. I have corrected her something like ten times, telling her of how I am going to work there and then travel and I am not planning on an ashram. She keeps on repeating it. The last time I saw her, she even told this story to her friend next to her, carrying some pride of me going to an ashram. I didn't correct her that time, but it is not my plan and I don't like it when another does that.
@Boeing I have also experienced that feeling of sharing more than I was comfortable doing, and after the conversation feeling a bit or unsure of myself and wondering why I did that, when it was not my intention. I surmised it was because the other person was skillful and drawing me out to the point I was sharing more information about myself than I had intended.
I’m much more guarded now, until I feel comfortable and trusting of someone
