Women.
We think we’re so smart, analyzing everything, questioning everything, trying to figure everything out as it goes. We check and double-check to make sure what we’re feeling is what we should be feeling and project what others should be feeing so that we can assess a situation and figure out what to do from there. What we don’t always take into consideration is that other people feel what they feel, not what we want them to feel. And that’s frustrating and aggravating.
And we analyze ad nauseum. I just spent about six hours hashing over several things and events with my best friend, Zadra. Every detail, every word, every thought. Everything I thought was going on and everything that actually went on. What I thought was actually going on.
Then she said it – “why don’t you just sit down and talk to him, ask him what’s going on.” And I immediately replied, “Are you nuts? Actually ask him and know what’s going on? Oh, no, I can’t do that.”
Because then there would be manipulation, no calculation, no discussion between girlfriends about what’s going on. It would simply be what it is, no questions, no other thoughts, no other issues. Just done.
And then what would I do with my time?
