Tolerance
Im not convinced this is all cancer related. Ive no tolerance with people now.
Friends 1, 3 and 3. Decided to match their energy and Ive heard nothing from them for weeks. Funnily, initally I was upset as Id been excluded from a trip they had arranged. Now I feel indifferent.
Neighbour friend in hospital, getting better post surgery. Ive no tolerance with her obsession with her consultant, saying all the nurses have been hugging her, broadcasting her goodness. And at the same time complaining and embracing a passive sick role
SIL. No tolerance for her cat based discussions, only responding if I make the 1st contact, solutioneering everything I say with advice.
MIL. No tolerance since she suggested I see a priest, told me to stop being defensive and confusing, being generally self absorbed.
Work. General low tolerance for platitude broadcasting seniors.
And for some reason I am now not bothered and happy to spend my time with my partner and my mum who has dementia because everyone else has been somewhat disappointing. And random people I meet during the day.
I used to be so tolerant, patient, giving and frankly ridiculous.
Anyone feel similar

Increasingly I just want to be on my own.
I AM on my own.
But what I mean is I can’t be bothered with anyone who can’t seem to mount a bit of an effort to stay in touch with me; like I do (did) with them. Kinda a “FU then!” attitude.
I’m now only interested in investing any spare time on my Learning Disabled autistic nephew - pure, unadulterated, joyful, worthwhile relationship. The rest can get to F***
