This blogger may not be the easiest person with whom to have a social relationship. This is a realization that took several years to form, as once upon a time I did not grasp what the differences were and how much they affected my life.
Judging by the number of people who enjoy meeting me and chatting, I am indeed likable.
But it seldom goes beyond that.
At times I consider myself the gehakte leber of friends. Great fun when the occasion presents itself, something one may have a deep and abiding affection for, but not on a daily basis, good grief no.
One would rather not be exposed too often.
A question of digestion.
That actually cuts both ways. There are many people whose company is truly enjoyable, but with whom I do not wish to spend much time having a conversation.
There are a few people of whom I do not mind a serious overdose.
It's not entirely mutual, though I believe there is some vice-versa.
They are unusual, by reason of personality, wit, and flexible intelligence. And while there is a streak of bite in them, they are not cruelly inspired.
Though they may be wicked. Good heavens yes.
But they are very sweet individuals.
I shall spare them and myself the embarrassment, and not identify them in any way in this post.
Much as I am sorely tempted.
Because I really do appreciate them.

It is absurd to divide people into good and bad.
People are either charming or tedious.
