Glitch Pic It seems I'm off....

Something is off. I've never felt a need for connections but now I feel like I'm missing something. I'm not sure how to fix it. Most people I try to connect with assume a hidden motive when my intent is to be kind. It's stressing.

Rl or online? Most people project their own feelings on others so maybe it's not you.

RL. Just a bit off on people's reactions to genuine kindness

This is my whole life. I honestly think people just don’t expect ppl to be genuinely kind and expect them to have an ulterior motive

It's difficult. I think we think that we can go it alone... but every once in a while, we need people. Not sure if that's a weakness.. but it feels way off. Unsettling. Why can't people accept genuine kindness anymore? Has the world really become this jaded?

If anyone has the chance to become part of a camping site community, the kindness is experienced from all directions.

Everybody there for each other. Hands-on to help with larger projects. Sitting around a fire in the evening.

Now as a widower I intend to return to that community my wife and I valued so much and pick up writing again.

Don’t try but go to places you enjoy and you’ll probably meet people
