How do you react when you're ignored, without an explanation?
I try to accept it. It's not easy, but the other person knows what they need. I want their boundaries to be respected even if I feel like I took it the wrong way. Sometimes I try to send a signal that I understand... but I don't try to do it in a way that requires a response.
How do you function in a group where you are partially accepted?

I知 on the spectrum, so this one is a real tough one - I often struggle with knowing whether or not I知 accepted, so I always operate on the assumption I知 tolerated lol; it keeps me from being too loud or blurting things out, but it also allows me to speak when I have something to add.
How about you?

That circumstance is difficult and changing it is often futile. Frankly, unless the reason for the partial exclusion is explained to me, feelings of resentment set in...I consider it rude and without empathy.
How often do you write? Daily? When the mood strikes?

I'm off today and will have breakfast with a friend and then hang out shopping and enjoying the day. I'm looking forward to it honestly, its been tough lately...as someone famously said, death is easy, living is hard.
I've been thinking alot lately on what makes someone cheap, frugal. I know few people are based on their past, because they were broke for so long, now that they have a bit of money, they're scared to spend.
But then there's a young girl whom i work with who admits on being cheap, although she lives at home, upper middle class family, doesn't have bills, no history of being broke in the past.
So the trait of being cheap is it something learned or something born with?

I dunno, it depends what you mean by "cheap". If it means selfishly hoarding & not sharing what they have.... that might come from negative experiences in the past and has to be unlearned. If it means not falling prey to mindless consumption and buying every new thing, then I'd like to hope it's a skill more of us can learn before we eat our planet.
I think my 14-year old took nothing but cookies for lunch today. Does that make me a bad parent?! 😆
