I don't know what's happening to me.

At first, I felt badly about it. But, eventually I have come to accept that some people can be very draining + it’s just not fun to be around them.

I am in my early 60s+ I went to a gathering recently where most of those there were 75-85.
I had a marvelous time! I think it was because everyone was very pleasant and polite &
Wonderful, witty stories were shared by all- Is this because they’re somewhat older and, therefore have better manners??

People have become so rude- Always interrupting others and talking over one another just to hear themselves talk! Then there are mothers waiting for the opportunity to brag about their children but, never asking about other’s kids in a genuinely caring way OR complimenting others.
And, this seems to be par for the course even at small family gatherings- with my 5 sisters 😩.
My husband and I have come to find it all a bit taxing.

You are not alone cilla ! - Hope u have a wonderful time with your daughter 🤗
