I don't like their escapist lifestyle, or their energy draining presence, but I think I could gain some peace of mind by going and trying to forgive them, due to past resentment (lots of stupid stuff). I try telling myself I've already forgiven them, RUN AND HIDE, but I think I should try and make peace with my presence.
Mostly I'm afraid I'll regress to hatred if I spend time with these people. I can't stand the arrogance of someone who has basically given up in my eyes.
I hope someone sees something I'm not seeing in this situation. Please help. |
Get close to people who helps you to feel and be better person. Stay away from those who do the opposite. There is no challenge. You gain nothing by remaining close to a toxic psychological presence.
