I actually wrote about this issue several times (directly, not between the lines) and have not posted either article yet. One day I will.<BR/><BR/>I decided a long time ago that I would weed out all of the negative influences (friends, family, etc.) in my life. I did, and then a few years later, whack! Yes, weeds sprouted up in my beautiful yard and it was difficult to see the weeds for the flowers. Especially as they were blooming (as in blooming idiots, that is). Once I finally caught the weeds that were choking my true flowers, I arranged for a few insecticide interventions and I'm now trying to keep a more watchful eye on my yard. No more unwelcome negative intruders...be they friend or foe. <BR/><BR/>Good luck in your quest, and remember: if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, then it's probably a duck!<BR/><BR/>Ciao chica...thanks for the link.<BR/><BR/>TeriSideways Chicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002230726261736435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21910560.post-1149167413463521962006-06-01T14:10:00.000+01:002006-06-01T14:10:00.000+01:00Some categories of my friends:- Work friends: peop...Some categories of my friends:<BR/><BR/>- Work friends: people I get along great with at the office but have no interest in seeing any other time or place.<BR/><BR/>- Normal friends: people you see kinda regularly, have coffee with and chat to about movies and music and stuff.<BR/><BR/>- Airport friends: On a higher level than normal friends - they are also willing to fetch you from the airport if you go on holiday. You will talk about lots of topics, but not the really personal, serious stuff...<BR/><BR/>- Real friends: Not only will they fetch you from the airport, they are the ones you phone any time of day or night for a shoulder to lean or cry on. You can tell them ANYTHING. And of course you can have coffee and chat about movies and music anytime too... ;><BR/>These are the gems you hang onto.<BR/><BR/>If people don't fit into any of these categories - or make you feel bad in any way - they aren't friends.dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657996382616170070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21910560.post-1149127910257931262006-06-01T03:11:00.000+01:002006-06-01T03:11:00.000+01:00I wish I could help you.

But if someone is making you feel bad about yourself, I think you should confront them.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08056024843793619110noreply@blogger.com
