What Have You Learned About Yourself Recently??

I do not like the cold. I have lived in cold places for almost 2 decades now. Still haven’t gotten “used to it” I want it to be like 73 degrees (Fahrenheit) in the day and like 65 at night.
I know what you mean. I used to think i was a cold weather person cause that's where i was from but I want heat now.
 
That my empathy means that when I feel deeply for someone, I tend to constantly seek to understand, rationalize and forgive unfair treatment of me, that would madden me if I saw others being treated that way
Guess we all do to varying degrees
Yup. I do too, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. If we don’t understand then we can’t correct our own faults that may have contributed. But it’s a balancing act on whether to forgive or not. I am too generous tbh.

But these days, rather than waste my time arguing with people who won’t change, I try to accept them as they are but possibly ration my time with them. A once a month friend (I’ve got a few!) or less.

Forgiving is good. Just take a note and learn (about the situation and the person), forgiving doesn't mean you have to give them a 2nd chance, even less subsequent chances.

I think you are right of course.
In my teens/20’s I deleted several “friends” from my life. Their behaviours were so negative. It made it very hard for me to flourish.

i tell you what, since Trump got elected the first time, it has been depressing how many people suddenly decided to be obnoxious.

I don’t mind people having different opinions/behaviours to me, but I’ve no time for some of the things that are going on.
 
That I don’t have the excess whatever it takes to continue to believe in people who are not trying.
That I am more different from many of my friends than I knew.
 
I have learned that I am stuck between the virtual world for work and the outside world for social contact. Will say Lit bridges that stuck.
 
I have learned that even though I love being an exhibitionist here, and I enjoy talking about sex, there are people that enjoy the real me too.. The side of me that enjoys music and smoking 🍃🍃, and what I was doing at age 22, as well as 51.

I learned to love myself a bit more, and I learned patience....
