What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

I've learned some stuff the last couple of months on here and I'm wondering if the connections to be made are worth the heartache in the end. People are so fleeting. Or maybe I'm just talking to the wrong people? I don't understand why I'm never enough for these friendships to last. I've never been anyone but myself and yet, it's never enough for someone to stay. Or maybe I'm just too sensitive of a person. I might need stronger and thicker walls... but eventually if they get any taller or thicker, no one will be able to get through....

Just ignore these thoughts swirling around, I just needed to get them out so I can properly ignore them today.

1) you can make friends here. Just be selective.
2) it is not you. Think of yourself as good whiskey. A nob may drink you but a consosue will savor and appreciate it. Look for the latter.
Remember it is not the number of friends but the quality.
 
I got asked again yesterday if I was Canadian because of my accent.... do any other New Englanders encounter this? :unsure: I've heard one actress who grew up in a town near where I grew up be pegged as Canadian because of the way she says "about" (which is what I get, too, along with "out"), but don't know anyone else in person who has the same accent as me & her!

You all sound the same to me 😁

I mean, I'm Minnesotan and I get asked that as well when I visit other places. Not the same... but similar

That might have a lot to do with the fact regional dialect does not respect political boundaries. I would definitely say a Newfoundlander sounds different than an Albertan. I won't even consider the Quebecoise here...

Edit: I also suspect the confusion comes from the general ignorance of people these days :D
 
Hell, I’m at work and I’m still laughing 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

It was a new vendor on the phone!! We were chatting and having casual conversation while waiting for confirmation. He said something about the lightning the other night being erratic and he swore he smelt burnt toast, but had no other stroke symptoms - and I just?

“There’s someone out there stroking”
In any context it was inappropriate but I secured the dry cereal so it couldn’t have been that bad 🫠

I imagine he hung up and had a good chuckle over that bit of the conversation 😂
