I don't care for many people. My life revolves around my family. Family is forever.. friends come and go.
People nowadays are all for themselves and cannot be trusted. Too many times I have seen/heard/read people that are supposed friends and will burn the other to benefit themselves and then demand forgiveness..
Family is everything.. remember that. My brother and I love each other alot but don't always get along but I know and he knows that if something happens (like w/this economical time) my fam can always live with his or his fam can live with us... and if something happens w/both of us it's already been decided we are living w/our folks who have a large house and 10 acres in Oregon
That's the bad news..what's the good? Why are people so mistrustful these days? They don't always have reason to be. I think I need to go visit a foreign country. Last time I was in Europe, people were a lot more relaxed. I didn't feel that much like a "stranger" in europe.
It has nothing to do with the economy and everything to do with national psychology, if we can talk about the US being a "nation" per se at all... I've always been amazed when I go down to Mexico where you see people much poorer than any of us and yet happy, content, friendly, and social. All it takes for them to have a good time is buy a few beers, park their trucks somewhere, play some music, and talk, dance, and laugh...
I agree it is amazing there. Our family has talked about it many times and they are wonderful happy people.
It seems like it's hard to find people who care about being friends, or having friends. I suppose it comes easily to others, or maybe they just don't care as much. But I do; it's important to me. I've had my feelings hurt very recently by some uncaring friends, and at some point you just have to cut them out and move on.
aww coldwine, I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope you feel better.

Practically no one is on the same page anymore, and everyone is for themselves only. It probably has something to do with the decline the country is in and technology at home like the Internet.
