That's a very, very strong word.
I don't know for sure
'cos wouldn't that be projecting?
BUT
there are those who
find
ME
annoying.
I'm pretty damn sure
of THAT.
My sister does.
I think
and it's reciprocal.
Well, I can answer
for my side of the equation.
My mother might.
That's kind of upsetting
but, after all,
I find HER annoying
at times.
Everything in the bloody
family, the bloody fam damily
has changed around since
my Dad died.
For a while, I hated him
for that but now, it's like
I love him MORE than I love
my sister, my other sister
and my mother.
It seems like he was the only
one who cared.
I get so ANNOYED at my mom.
It seems she doesn't care.
She forgot to call me back
and, at a family gathering,
she pointed out something
that really embarrassed me.
I am not a CHILD, mother,
I am almost 57!!!
But, I did redeem myself
by telling her that I could
HANDLE it. I did it calmly.
Anyway, I don't HATE them
but I resent them at times.
They don't hate me, I hope not.
But they do find me FUCKING WIERD.
At least, I think so
but that's projection.

My mother seems different now that she is alone. She is more assertive and that's GOOD but, of course, it's not so good when the assertiveness is directed at me. I'm kind of an independant person and I might just stay away from some of these family members for a while.
It's nice to think I'm one of your special people -- though I am really not sure about therapy these days. My sister, the one I mentioned first, has become a grief counsellor of all things. I'll counsel my own damn grief, thank you very much! She is so sanctimonious!!!
