Do you surround yourself with people who challenge you or admire you?

Yes my 8 yo daughter. Other than her and my adults kids (from first relationship) nobody else gives a shit about me so I live my own life mostly in my own space much of the time except when I need to go work, shopping, doing things with my kids, or doing some volunteering. Apart from that, I have no 'circle' of friends of the sort that women tend to have in their lives. I prefer to be alone at home.

I surround myself with positive people.

Ones who make me laugh, they’re in a crisis, make me feel good.
But they also make me stop and think. I value their opinions.
People who I share interests with, introduce me to new ideas.
Generous with time

The circle opens from my family.
I have three close friends who have taken me through life.

Then there are those who open doors.
And those with common interests, like art, music and countryside.
Radiators. Conduits.

They are very challenging when they don't admire me.

Always challenge me to the very core, which is exhausting already.

No one admires me.

I avoid being surrounded by people as much as possible.
I won't walk through a ravine as it's a good place to be ambushed.

I'm not one who likes being surrounded

Don’t like to be surrounded by people however those that do tend to surround me tend to challenge me be time.

I never surrounded myself with anyone in the day. They just showed up. Yes in both categories

There's no surrounding of any sort around me. Thank goodness!!

I only ever surround myself with people when I require a human shield.😷

they are curious but careless about me
