how are you with responding to people? acquaintances/strangers vs. friends/family/etc.?
when they've called you, asked you something, said they had a pressing matter to talk to you about, said something sentimental?
is your response timely? how much does it indicate how much you care? or reveal your feelings or concern for them?
do you ever find that you just dont? can you admit to those erroneous moments when you do care, but do a poor job of showing it? if you do, how do you make up for it?
i think most of us sentient beings gather that everything we do makes an impression on others. everything we do says something. 'actions speak louder than words' ya know. I think most of us knows what it feels like to reach out to someone and feel like you've been completely ignored and you dont really know how to take it? how do you read that? personally... i have friends and family all over the freaking planet it seems... for me there is a lot of phone calling, keeping in touch by infinitely various means, it seems. there's a lot of, dare i say... 'inconvenience' that needs to be dealt with in keeping in touch with these people who are nothing like an obligation to me, but people who i try to pull closer to me... close that gap of distance. it's just difficult to be always 'ON' in that respect when i'm so involved in where i am... the here and now. It kills when others i care about dont respond to me, for reasons i dont always get to find out about. But i am understanding, because I cant always get back to those people as well... for embarassingly stupid reasons even. It's unfair... there are people here in the town I live in that I care so much less about, but get so much more of my attention by virtue of the fact that they are so much closer.
I really cant stand this. This is definitely one of my bigger weaknesses in so many ways. whether they are capricorn ways, or just my ways... its one of the most frustrating things about myself.
can anyone else relate?
