Misery loves company... that is why I am a loner.

Misery loves company... that is why I am a loner.


After reading a friends post yesterday I was reminded of how sad some people are on here. The old saying "Misery loves company" is true. People who go onto others blogs and post<b> nasty </font></b>things about them are miserable. They are most likely lonely and will never find happiness.

You have to CHOOSE to be miserable or happy if you think about it. For me, it is my human nature to be kind, helpful, thoughtful and giving. I get a super rush of positive endorphans when I do things for others. A smile can be just as contagious as a negative comment. Have you ever been out at a restaurant and smiled at a baby sitting at the next table? They will always smile back. Why is this? because it is in your human nature to be happy. Miserable people really have to work at being so miserable. They are many times self-absorbed and the only way they think they can be happy is to make others miserable like them. Hence, the phrase "Misery loves company."

Today I challenge you to smile at strangers, do an act of kindness for someone you do not know, it could be as simple as holding the door for them. Trust me, you will feel better inside even if they do not acknowledge what you have done for them. But if they do acknoledge, most likely you brought some sunshine into their day and they will most likely pass it on just be cause you made them feel special.

...and no, I am really not a loner but I do spend a lot of my time a lone. But I am also not miserable because I choose otherwise.

Reading that friends post yesterday reminded me of the miserable lady who use to be on here for years. She was at the top of the watched blogs and if any other lady was to get close she would attack them and call them fake and other things. She was even known to report them with lies to try to get them kicked off. I had several friends leave here because of her and it was so childish that she never grew out of that middle school mentality. I bet some of you who have been on here for a while know exactly who I am referring.

So... ya notice some of the nastiness and drama here, do ya? lol 😂 😮
Yep... I stay from all that clutter.
It's occasionally surprising when I read some of the vile debris popping outta these pages. But as in any social gathering - it shouldn't be unexpected.
Positive thinking breeds positive results.
Good post!
Do people here... read? 🤔

Well Paul I believe you are one of the few men on here that actually read. Thanks for dropping by and contributing.

Thanks! It is sad that these individuals not only have to be that way but do it while hiding behind a keyboard and a fake identity. They will only know misery.

when i close the computer i step into reality
when i open my computer i step into fantasy
it is good not to confuse where you are
what they say here has little value... therefore we must forgive them for they know not what they do

there is a world of difference between insanity and stupidity


Daytimer09B replies on 3/11/2020 2:24 pm:
That is true but I know of some people who really take what people say on here to heart. They came here looking and unfortunately this is not always a nice place.

I am the same. I love being alone yet try not to take it too far. I choose alone any day over chaos, drama and disrespect.

Values and kindness, not something that all people have unfortunately.

Not much of a challenge for me - I smile at strangers all the time and often do random acts of kindness.

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!


Daytimer09B replies on 3/11/2020 2:27 pm:
Just seeing your smiling profile picture makes me smile. It is amazing how far a smile can go and an act of kindness will lots of times be passed on. Kind of like pulling through Chick-fil-a and hearing that the car in front of you paid for your order. So of course I do not want to be the one that ends it so I buy the next cars meal. Feels good both ways.

As long as you don't confuse people who are being honest to those who are just being down right rude.

Sometimes truth hurts, so does reality. Stupid hurts also, and you can't fix it either. Can numb it though...LOL


Daytimer09B replies on 3/11/2020 2:29 pm:
Most of the time honesty comes with a little tack. It is the simply rude and obnoxious because they can hide behind their keyboard that is so sorry. It seems this happens to women a lot more than men on here.

Here is a microcosm of society and mans inhumanity to man is at an all time high out there.....as well as in here. I avoid it at all costs. Alot of people here didnt pass the ' plays well with others' check list. Those same people never learned to leave some things unsaid. Then there are others who just dont care and spew hurtfulness all around. We all have our own ways of coping with life...some are maladaptive~~

Just seeing this. True, some people can only be happy if they can make someone else more miserable then themselves. Not people I want anything to do with.
