contemplating human interaction

Why should we have relationships with people who make us miserable and bring out the worst in us?

this thought has been in my head, and its argued itself in circles. perhaps its not right to close yourself off from that kind of unwanted relationship because God wants you in it to teach you something. your supposed to be around someone who brings out your worst....to teach you to control yourself and put forth your best. perhaps....

but then, that sounds an awful lot like "missionary dating" or hanging out with people who are terrible influences. and we all know what a crock that is. the person with principles ends up compromising, not the other way around. just like the person trying to be civil and maintain some grace is the person who ends up losing their cool in the face of constant irritation. so should we remove ourselves from people like that? or should we continue to fight it out, losing our tempers, apologizing, trying to overlook, then losing our tempers again. personally I'd rather be far away.

and what if these people are family? is it all right to distance yourself from blood? is the family tie more important, or our emotional wellbeing and peace of mind?

I told you it argues itself into a circle......

pissy and stressed

moving and some other issues. the title says it all. its my fault because I'm still immature and selfish and not secure enough to be adult about ALL the aspects of my life. I'm aware of that. but it doesnt change the fact that I'm pissy and I dont fucking feel like writing anymore for now.
