I hate when peope ask about my family (especially if they know any of them). Im not one to lie, but if it gets back to the jw's how I really feel, then I'm an "apostate". I've been honest to those who've asked and asked and asked. Finally, I say, "So&So is actually not speaking to me and hasnt for the past year. They believe I'm not living the way I should be living, and its part of their religion to shun me." (Which, by the way, I am living my life as boringly and wholesomely as the next good person, lol. I am also baptized, though not df'd or da'd and I celebrate holidays...something that I am not ashamed of)

  I seriously dont know how else to put it. I've thought of taking the high road and telling them that my family & I just havent spoken in awhile due to busy schedules. But thats BS. I'm actually thinking of sending an email to the family member(s) that is shunning me and ask them what I'm supposed to say. This is so idiotic.

  ever since i was a kid, my father would tell me to quit being antisocial.

  to me, i was just playing with my favorite best friend in her room after the bookstudy.

  i had no desire to sit amongst the bookstudy group and listen to things that didnt interest me.

  lol...yep, my close friends are wonderful. They allow me to be antisocial around them and yet we're still friends.

  I like that the personality test said I'm like Buddha too.

  I'm sorry Gregor. I can see how that would be a problem.

  I don't think its a huge deal between me and my husband, but I'm sure its a little deal. I never enter a party and act like I'm better than anyone...I absolutely, 100%, do not think I'm better than anyone. I think everyone should have a ton of confidence because they're all awesome in their own ways. Ok, I sound like that dude from SNL. But anyway, its true. So if I start talking to someone whom I know we wont have a huge connection AND they show a lack of self confidence: I have a tough time wanting to hang out with them. I don't offer compliments unless its genuine.

  I remember at the meetings, they always used to talk about sincerity. "There's always a person who will ask you how you are, and they expect you to say 'fine'. But if you're not fine and you try to tell them, they walk on."

  Well, I'm that person. If I'm in a tiny group with a limited amount of people that I feel connected to, then its okay to talk about real stuff (and I listen intently with a big heart). There's a time and a place for everything. I don't like big crowds, and I dont like people in big crowds who talk about drama.

  I am very sincere, unless I'm in a big crowd. And thats why I dont like big crowds. lol. I hate to be fake and chitty chatty.

  Now, enjoy:

  I think its funny how some extroverts dont understand. Then again, I suppose I dont understand extroverts. I don't feel negative about it...I just dont see the point of chit chat. My hair stylist probably thinks I never get any sleep...I just sit there and close my eyes

  Well, wasnt that gracious of her to say that . My father said (regarding if I were DF'd/DA'd): "Why are you asking if you'd be welcomed into our home? Its not like I could stop it. Your mother would never hear of having you banned from the home."

  Jeez, thanks Dad.

  I was VERY nice I PROMISE! My husband sent the dude a text saying that I really wanted to go to the county fair (lol, lame but true unfortunately). Six, maybe I'll introduce you too when you come out to visit....yes, she was kinda cute, though not my type.
