If calm is what you are looking for, break up with every circle that has nothing except gossip and idle talk; one in which everyone thinks everybody's business is everyone’s business, and everyone is so into the private affairs of everyone that no one watches over their own affairs; one in which anyone with an opinion that is contrary to common opinion is accused of being a hater; that circle in which everyone knows someone who does something that everyone does yet pretend to hate, like everyone secretly complaining about things that they pretend to love.
If you ask me, you don’t want to be in the midst of people you call friends and be nervous to unburden you heart, simply because attitudes are so aggressively negative that all what they can offer is to call your attention to the worst of your situation. You don’t want to be a part of a circle that tends to feel better by hurting you; a circle in which the only emergency that can dictate priorities and actions is when there is a scandal involving you or someone else.
If you cannot get out of this circle, then be different. Sometimes just be at home and be happy with your own company, even if you are going to be called a freak, loner, weirdo or whatever. Do your thing in silence and let the loudmouths go about making noise. Be a part of the few whose principles will differ; the few who will prefer to be left the hell alone. You will be hated without good reason, that’s a given, but do you even need to validate your existence with what someone else thinks of you, and when you have real problems and not petty inconveniences to worry about? Just what i thought!
