Greetings dear friends readers. I have always started from the idea that life is not complicated, we are the ones who complicate everything. It’s not that I have always thought this way, it has been the experience of the years that has brought me to this conclusion.
I have read some posts (and it's a pity I didn't get the names of the users) and in them they talk about things that I found interesting. One of them is in relation to friendship, we go through life always trying to be friendly or at least we try.
I have always said and will continue to say that I am an introvert who has a hard time making friends. I am not very friendly, because it's hard for me to get to a place and strike up a conversation with people I don't know. I have a childhood friend who told me that she met family members and even friends of mine while she was sitting in the waiting room at a doctor's office.
I am her friend but I am never that outspoken in a public place. I have been here on read.cash for over a year and I am just now getting to know people who have been writing here as long as I have, but I don't go out to meet people or users and I only end up meeting the ones that come to my posts.
It's something about me that has nothing to do with me considering myself a better person, or a better writer or better at whatever. I don't suffer from such ills of superiority.
I’m and always will be a humble woman, with a strong character, yes, I had to be because I made myself through many sacrifices in my life, but that has not made me a person sick of titles or positions.
Everyone here knows that I am a health professional very proud of my two degrees obtained in my student life. Thanks to all the sacrifices I made to obtain them. But that did not make me sick. When I go to a party and people ask me what I do, I tell them that I am a health worker. And I wish they wouldn't ask me again.
Because sometimes people get down to people's titles and not to the person themselves. That's why not everyone who tells you they are your friend is actually a friend.
Today with this Christmas challenge I'm doing I'm starting to read people I've never read before and I think they're wonderful, but I hadn’t read them simply because I didn’t come out of my shell… To all these beautiful writers I apologize for missing out on your particular stories, they’re all beautiful.
By the way, remember that the challenge ends on December 15 and by December 16 I won't be receiving any more posts.

Prizes will be reworded to give others a chance to win as well. The first prize will remain at $5 the second at $4 and the third at $3 and we have over $30 between my posting and the proceeds from the kindnesses of various users. giving us the opportunity to give out 10 more prizes of $2 each.
And now back to the subject at hand, it’s easy to meet "friends" when we are in comfortable positions but it is very difficult to make them when we are down, that's why we have to watch very carefully and always be attentive so that disappointments don't end up draining our energy.
People are sometimes very hard to criticize because they do it from the point of view of a stranger. If we manage to think that this stranger with personal problems could be our best friend, or our brother or even our son, it would be a different thing, we would not be being so aggressive when justifying others.
I always refer to the fact of people's criticisms when it comes to an illness. For example, if it happens that a person is diagnosed with a tumor that needs to be studied.
What happens next is that a lot of nefarious comments from people who have no sentimental connection with the person, what they say are all negative things, supposedly to help the person with the diagnosis, to be cautious.
But what happens with the comments from people who do have a sentimental connection? Those people will say that the doctor made a mistake, or they will tell you not to worry that everything will be fine, some of them will also tell you that God is in control (which I don't doubt) and it won't go any further.
Having said that, I am referring to the two situations above, because when there is advice from people it is always about yes you are my friend or family member so I’ll help you and we also give a different advice if you are a stranger. Why don't we empathize with the person who is suffering and why do we tell them things that we know absolutely nothing about?
So, for these reasons sometimes we cannot say exactly what we feel and what we suffer unless we are prepared to receive both types of criticism, because many people go around the world just distilling evil and venom and think that they will never be carrion meat.
And that’s it for this personal commentary of mine, and I’m open to hear what those who agree and those who disagree will tell me because as simple as that I already have my point of view and I will always support the one who seeks comfort as I too would like to be supported if I needed it.
Thank you for your comments and for reading, and thank you to all my dear readers and sponsors.
That's true. Sometimes we have to be cautious too, not all the friends we call a friend is sincere enough to offer good judgement. This is reality and it's sad. Ops, I have forgotten the timeline of the giveaway :(
