So We All Know About Our OWN Quirks - How Good Are We at Putting Up with Someone Else's? Are We Just Too Set in Our Ways?

This may sound bad but because I don’t have finances at this time, in church, I find myself not trying to make friends. Maybe it’s a bad perspective (as I’ve been told) but I feel that because I can’t treat people or bless them in some way, I am ill equipped to cultivate friendships.

Often times I may be sitting in the center of the room all alone as people are chattering all around me. There is the kind soul that says hello every once in awhile and some may even sit and talk but usually I am solo. That’s changing as sometimes people just decide to sit with me.

It’s not that I don’t like people, I love them but it’s hard to make friends when you feel like you are hiding something (shame).

It’s a little sad that in a church of 2000 I feel like I have acquaintances as opposed to friends. But I am to blame for that... Not saying I have NO friends, but that friendship is in the church and doesn’t go beyond its walls.

People are busy, living life. And I don’t have the means of being the person to reach out, invite them to lunch or whatever.

Again, this has been my experience (early on) but seems to be changing in part.

Im always willing to try and change things that NEED to be changed. Im a work in progress and always will be.

I feel like its not too hard to accept others quirks. If it is something that really really bugs me, Id hope we would both be mature enough to talk about it and work through it.

is seoulsearch trying to matchmake people on here? I had no idea we were being conned I mean matched.

why not just start a thread called 'who do you like the most on CC singles'. I mean isnt the direct aprroach the best approach lol.

then start another one called 'propose to someone on here thread'

I am too set in my ways, soooo ,I'm content to remain single!

I'm not into trying to change the ways of others,neither do I want someone to try and change me!

I am happy where the Lord has me!
I'm free to study,pray go when I feel moved,and just bask in Him without encumberances !

Lol besides I'm too old to want to change!

Unfortunately, once you get really old, someone has to change you.

Wait, what? Inveterate? That's not esoteric at all. Everybody knows inveterate.

If I were trying to be obscure I would use much more jejune garrulity and thrasonical bombast in my rhodomotade expatiations.

Now I'm going to spend the rest of the day wondering which one of us is the awesome one, or at least I find some justification to believe you're calling me awesome.




RGF (resting grouch face), playing dumb (even better when I'm not playacting and just take that long to realize someone is trying to matchmake), and a good dose of cinder bluntness and snark.

People should pity my mother, she has a daughter that's just like her husband.

Ive compromised a little when it comes to my temper and sorted out people who r good for us and those who arent. And the way i use my iui overtime and sparetime i also adapted
He had also compromised a lot. He stopped drinking for already 7 months started going to church and bible studies... big list but imma stop there

Someone needs to go back to regular English so the old Blond can continue to follow the conversation as I am already hard of hearing and now you want to make this old dog learn new words or old words I never knew existed? Are you all highly educated or what? Come back down to my quirky level......

Not all the way like your Dad otherwise you'd be married.

This does show the limitations of language because if I were married like my dad would that mean that I was in a traditional marriage married to a man or would that mean that I was married to a woman since my dad is married to a woman. Now you have me all confused about whether getting married (and to what kind of person) would actually make me more or less like my dad. Guess I better just stay single, that seems to be working pretty well.

Just think - THIS is what you want to subject your daughter to? Consider it a good warning that your matchmaking is misguided and you should find a better target to shoot down for your daughter.

Quirks:
can't stand the toothpaste just squeezed anywhere.....must work from the end up!
bath cloths must be hung over the tub or hamper to dry.......not left wet and soapy in tub!
I love dishwashing by hand ....but I'm Not hunting them down!
I can go without sleep for days which makes me silly.
I like people,but when I say no.......i mean it.......not sure if that's a quirk

Now if someone had the same ones as I ,it would be doable!

I'm fairly easygoing,don't like nitpicking and enjoy fellowship and laughter!

I may be expressing in wrong thread....idk 😊
