So I was baffled by a near-horrified response from our mall buddies
yesterday. Talked with two of them
today. It seems a couple thought I was
stuck in the past and still going on about no more BS and being abusive. Another did not think much of it. Turns out I had badly mis-communicated
timelines since I was talking about going forward and not looking back to
rehash the past.
In the distant past, this sort of thing would be grounds to giving up
on even important relationships. Now it
is an opportunity to be patient, wait a day and then check back to see what
happened. That is a lot healthier
behavior.
I am grateful to my improving emotional and social IQ/maturity. It is definitely coming slowly and late to my
life, but that is fantastically better than never.
