go to people who like you
i work with a lady i can’t stand. she is an angry old woman who spits smoke and vile. strange noises eminate from her direction, growls and beastial noise. if there was a damsel in distress in the situation i might stick around, but this woman is depriving me of an amiable work environment.
but i have, on the other hand, some friends around me that i must honestly say i really love. they make days great, and i mean that in a very mushy sense. they may not agree with everything i say, but i keep them around. (and vice versa)
i can be something of a solitary person, and i have been known to really dislike people (who all deserved it, by the way), but we all need people to accept us; it’s part of being the social animals that we are. what is a lion without its pack, a buffalo without its herd? i bet if frogs had group names they’d be lost without it too. as well with people: without others that like us, we’re just lonely, disgusting monkeys. (or maybe that’s why we’re lonely!) it helps to be socially acceptable sometimes.
