And I just can not do anything about it. I've tried being extra pleasant, calling people out on their behaviour, ignoring things like lies, bitchy snide comments, back handed passive aggressive 'compliments', etc.
But I'm tired and have made the decision that people are not worth knowing, it takes too much emotional energy and I don't have it in me to make effort with people anymore.
The latest has involve the neighbours, they like to watch me when I leave my house, and insult me, or laugh at me openly. A few days ago, someone came to visit them and pulled up as I parked my car. She stood in the porch of the people she was visiting and stood there staring at me, I tried to ignore, but my teenage sons saw her and stared back at her until she stopped. (I did tell them to leave it because she might find it threatening considering they look like men now, and not children) I laughed it off in front of dc, but it really does bother me.
I have a fri end and we were close, but I've come to realise that she lies to me almost constantly. I've asked why and she will just try to brush it off as though it's nothing. For example, we're both single parents and she told me a man I was interested in had a girlfriend and then that he was a lot younger than I thought. When I asked her why, she just thought it was funny. So now my friendship with her is strained because I can not trust her.
Similar has happened to me my whole life.
I collect stalkers everywhere I go, can not make friends, always have problems with neighbours.
I've no idea what is about me.im too old to change who I am. So airbuses to decide most people are not worth the effort
