The members of my cricket team seemed to get sick of the sight of one another by game 10 of the season. Each game was an exhausting 8 hours long.
I never get sick of people. That rule is within reason. I would get sick of someone on a desert island 24 by 7.
With each interaction I observe more and peel back a person's onion layers more and more. I don't pry or ask many questions I just value the deeper and more intense conversations that occur from knowing someone a long time.
Likewise I find it boring to meet someone new.
Very few people are wired like I am and as such I find it surprising and weird that people get sick of my company. I have to self remind myself not to follow up with people too much, text too often, call more than once a month, and to just let people be.
Lucky I don't have to work too hard as I have a group of friends so I put them on rotation.
I like people. I like being around them. I just don't seem to get sick of being around people. And that is a problem.

Hi Hercs,
I wish I was a people person.
It has taken 18months for me to stop and have a drink (coffee or water) with the girls after aquarobics.
I never get sick of the company of my cat and dog, they accept me for who I am and know that I love them.
I love seeing my adult children but I know how busy they are. My son has injured his leg so is home at the moment at his fathers house so I do ring him daily just to see how he is going.
People seem to build themselves up by finding fault with others.
Saying all this I WAS married for 30 years.
Hope this makes sense.
Sue

People seem to build themselves up by finding fault with others. Perhaps but there is something about time and exposure to someone wearing on some people's mood which is a unique dynamic unto itself. It is important for me to be aware that the masses out there get sick of people. I don't know why. I am glad you are in touch with your son every day. |

This is a different perspective on this issue at hand but during this Corona virus isolation I am getting tired of being with my husband 24/7. We are just getting under each others feet too often and it can either end with a fizzle or an argument. The weather is getting nicer so I will be in the garden a lot more!.
BTW What has happened to Keith?
I figure if people are getting sick and tired of me they aren't worth having for friends. I don't have any friends anyways, they were getting away too toxic for me. I had to get them out of my life.

I had to get them out of my life. I think Keith's news is his personally to share or not share. He is a fine and noble man. He will be online one day. Ask him his story. He will share what he wishes. |

Some people need their own time to be alone. I have a friend like that. She cannot share her time with others all the time otherwise she gets burned out. She is an introvert and although I do not get sick of seeing my friends, I can see how that can become a problem if I see them every single day. It's a personal preference thing.
