Why do people assume they know me?
Posted on 09 August 2004
Over the past few of weeks I have been cornered by different people. Most of them offering their opinions on what they think of me. Most of those opinions negative.
Yes I have “issues”, but the one thing that really bugs me is that none of these people have an educated idea of what is going on in my life. They don’t know what struggles I am going through, what goals I am trying to attain, or stopped long enough to see if there is anything that I need.
I am getting tired of it. If you knew me, you would know that I am a very quiet person, and I enjoy my privacy. The only person in my life that really knows that is my wife. She is going through some of the same struggles that I am. We feel as though we are clinging to a life raft in the middle of the ocean.
These people are sincere in trying to correct what they see as bad behaviour. They want me to come back to what I used to be, but thier actions do nothing but push me further away. What is interesting is that I have been retreating from them for a long time now, but they fail to see that.
