Sadly I didn't have much of a choice. It would have been convenient to save the trouble of being bullied. They ask "rude" questions, racially abuse, swear and spit at people when they ask for money and don't get it. That is why I try to avoid them. It seems normal in my place. I do get on with my tutors and with most older people but it is very rare I meet people of my age or younger who are polite locally unless it was in a shop doing business or on the phone to a company. Or maybe I am not in the right place. I wouldn't be here otherwise.

There was once a choice when I was far away from home and I did take up the chance because of the type of people from all over.

Maybe it IS pathetic from my view that these local people do that but as again it might be normal to their upbringing. I do try at things but I am not willing to be bullied or harassed as above by people at it. Wouldn't you?

oh,.well,..you see,. anyone who is going to bully you is not a friend. in your situation, its not that you didnt want to make friends,..its just that no one was available for you to make friends with.

however, if someone came over and sat beside you and offered you some cookies and asked if you cared to chat with them, and you shooed them away...that would be a different story.

If someone came besides me and offered me some cookies I'd offer a share of my food in return. I worked with polite people at my age when I was away from home before and I don't ever remember being rude or swearing at them apart from people who were rude at me to begin with to provoke a reaction which I didn't swear but made funny descriptions out of them in which they were not pleased.

Another issue is when people avoid other people using practical means. They take their information and once they had enough talking they vanish and run away from you without telling you the truth or how they feel. Just my experience perhaps someone can prove this wrong.

I learn't another horrible lesson unless I am proved wrong. Don't make friends with anyone because of the risk of getting remotely used then they start to silently drop and ignore and time gets wasted. Isn't it better to reject offers kindly and keep them that way and as they say secrets are powers.
