I no longer have much in common with my past including most family and friends. I’ve changed a lot since going through some major life changes over the years. I’ve tried to maintain past relationships but it never seems to work out well. I’m looking for friendships. I have not really been looking for s relationship I’d like to one day have but, I’m not closed off to it either. I just want to meet new people and find where I now belong because it isn’t in my past anymore. That much is clear. I do still keep in contact with a few in my life regardless of differences. So, I can’t have people in my life who are intolerant of others. I get the frustration though. Some things and people in my life I intend to keep to myself and can’t guarantee that will ever change. I intend to do what I want to when I want to. So if a person is really insecure and jealous, it’ll never work. I was married about fifteen years once. So, I’ve already done the mixing families together family life. I’m not sure I’ll ever be interested in doing that again at this point in my life. Any relationship I have is for me. My old family and friends may not have any interest in it at all which is fine with me. Same with my friends. I also may or may not ever have any interest in mingling old family and friends with new relationships including friends. I’ll take that as it comes without any expectations either way and would expect you to do the same. As I said, they are mostly very different than me which would likely mean they may not have much in common with my future relationships including friends. I will not tolerate anyone disrespecting them if you do happen to run in to them or meet them. I will not tolerate abuse. And if I see dysfunctional patterns which I feel are harmful, I won’t tolerate it either. I get people make mistakes. However, I find some to be unforgettable. And, others to quickly become intolerable. I want healthy relationships of peace, happiness, empath
