I thought I was quite a direct/honest person. That doesn't mean I go around saying whatever comes into my head but I just mean it's better to be straight with people.
However I've found a lot of people, especially men in dating aren't like this. It's verrrrry common to ghost/grey rock/slow fade.
So many men seem to find it so hard to communicate/be honest that they'd rather ignore texts, make excuses and hope you get the hint.
It's not the way I work at all and it's frustrating to deal with. You don't need to reject someone in a harsh way, just be honest.
Also I've found people you thought were close friends will drop you once you leave the job/area etc. Often it isn't personal, they don't have the headspace or the time but I do find it tough to deal with when you've invested in those relationships.
These are just two examples but I definitely think a lot and I am sensitive (which aren't bad traits in themselves) but I feel like I need to be more blasé about people and not get invested.
Does anyone else feel like this? I also feel like many people will tell lies in general because it's easier for them. I need to stop expecting people to be exemplary characters and recognise that many are like this, even if it's not with ill intentions.
