No. The people around me are not superhuman. They err and fail. As do I. It just doesn't seem like a big deal or a crucial part of our relationship.
But I think I understand now. You feel the same way as I do. You believe these foibles are part of humans. The part we differ on is the standards you hold for calling something sucky. I can accept behaviour down into the first sigma down from the mu and you probably consider only behaviour past the first sigma up from the mu acceptable.
As an example, if someone were late or couldn't make it at the last minute, it doesn't bother me. I'm going to just make a note to check with them a little earlier next time. And everyone I know has my location so that if I'm late they know what I'm up to. We just work around each other's mistakes. It works all right for me. I won't pretend I don't feel disappointed. It's just momentary and I find it hard to align my life around those transient feelings. Not out of enlightenment, just I don't really remember those feelings strongly.
- fragmede 3y agobeing able to not feel those feelings strongly is enlightenment, I'd say. I feel those feelings strongly and then choose to keep going anyway in order to have friends and not be lonely. it's been a pleasure connecting with you and coming to understanding each other. be well.
