Yesterday evening, after work, was very relaxing. I had drinks out in the backyard with my parents who are in town visiting til Wednesday. My mom bought her grandcat, Athena, a harness and leash so she also joined us in the backyard festivities, albeit a little perturbed! After our libations, we strolled down to Calo's in Andersonville for some yummy 1/2 priced ribs. It was a very enjoyable dinner and conversation.
That being said, it has recently come to my attention that I sometimes am perceived as 'intense' by some people. I am not sure when that term became attached to being a negative trait. I feel that if you know what you want or need, then you do all you can to achieve it! However, I realize that sometimes this pushes some people away or startles them, which is NEVER my intention. I hope my persistence and drive doesn't get mistaken for bullying or neediness... as it sometimes has. I do want to work on this, though!
When meeting people, I usually know pretty instantly if they are someone I want to know better, friendship or otherwise, and I want to know as much about them as I can... I am the inquisitor of the zodiac, after all! Hopefully, that is taken as flattery as it is intended!

We just have to surround ourselves with people who have that same intensity Matty. It is definitely not a negative character trait. It is more misunderstood than anything else.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julez, however, I would never have pegged you as an intense person! ;) I miss you.
