Opinions on people? Do you love them or hate them? Do you even try to get to know them beyond the casual talks?

Do you find it worth it?
Is it worth keeping them around? Or do you also realize that people stick to you only till the point that they can squeeze a need they have out of you?

At some point you gotta ask, why keep pouring into cups that never reciprocates? Move on. Just move on.

I don't love nor hate them. I can keep people at arms length and be happy. I have many acquaintances but not close friends just as I prefer it. On SM I've learned (some) people use you to fill voids and that will always be temporary. 😐

I don't love them nor hate them. Pretty indifferent to most.
I'm not close to anyone at all. Nobody truly knows me.
I was literally just thinking of a couple family functions I "have" to go to.
I WILL NOT be present for the holidays though.
I decided that last holiday season.
It fills me with dread.
I am uncomfortable in big social gatherings. I have one true friend so that's enough ..people tend to come and go ...it's a revolving door full of people who can't be counted on

I'm a loner and a homebody for the most part. In social settings, which I usually attend alone, I will socialize and possibly make a few acquaintances. But I don't set expectations of people. That way I'm seldom disappointed. I get a grasp of how associating with them will affect me and adjust myself accordingly. I always try to listen to my gut instinct but I've made mistakes in my choices of people still.

I have a few good friends. After relocating, and into a complex, we used to be one happy family. As time went by, some showed their true colour. I still greet them, but my friendship has been ruined.

Well, that depends on you and your 'Love Language" My "Love Language," is "Gifting," and I do so, without the expectations of reciprocation.

@Iwillwait A fellow human who gets what love language is and how important it is to really caring about someone. Cheers!

I have my close family, and a few lifelong friends who I can count on, but most people in my life are just passing through and I don't need to make friends with them.

people who are nice, sincere, honest, considerate- i have plenty of time for, but the rest i just try to ignore as if they don't exist.

Every attempt I’ve ever made to know anyone has left me lonelier than I ever was when I knew nothing about them.
I love nice ones . I have empathy but not not a lot of patience .

I’m friendly but I’m always wondering and waiting for the twist 🤷‍♂🤔.

I prefer to take my people in small doses. It takes a lot of energy to be around people. But by and large, I love them. I believe that though primarily self-interested that more people are prone to benevolence than to malevolence.

There are the malevolent out there though. The users and abusers. And even though I believe they are a minority, it really only takes being a victim to one of them once to become traumatized and jaded and guarded.
