My Way of Dealing with People
Why Have People in My Life
- Physical closeness (like hugs or more)
- Steady feelings help (talk or share)
- Steady money help
- Steady help with tasks
- Big money help in hard times
- Big feelings help in hard times
- Big help with tasks in hard times
- Advice
- Light chat and fun
Limits (Time, Money, Place)
- I have few resources: time, money, and where I live.
- Physical closeness and steady feelings help need both of us in one place.
- Advice and light chat need less time, so I can do these with more folks.
- I try not to promise steady help (money, tasks, feelings) to many.
- I do promise big help (feelings or tasks) to a close group. If I end that, I will give 6 months’ notice. I want these ties to last for years. (If unsure if you are in this group, ask me.) If you are not, but still need help, you can ask me. I like to help if I can.
- I do not promise big money help often. I have done it (loan or gift) at times. If you ask, it helps to have good trust from people around you or some proof you can pay back.
Who Do I Like
- I like people who bring new thoughts or come from a group with ways unlike mine.
- I like people who share my interests or day-to-day thinking style.
- You might join my close group if we share these traits and have spent much time together.
- I am still learning why I pick some folks to stay close, but this is what I know so far.
