Ever notice how things can change rather quickly?

In my life for example, I went out of town for a couple of days for a wedding (not mine) and when I get back every thing is different. I'm not talking drastic differences, like friends suddenly moving away, but the kind of changes that are subtle and easily missed. You can see it in peoples eye's, hear it in their voices, and feel it in the way they touch (or don't touch) you.

You start thinking to yourself (or at least I did) what has happened? Have I done something to offend someone? Have they done something to offend me and don't want to say anything in the hopes that it will go away? Or maybe I'm just crazy.

Maybe it is time for me to move on . . . The Company I work for has over 700 stores Nationwide. Maybe it is time for me to pack my bags and go somewhere new . . . permanently . . .

Yeah things do get weird sometimes like that, people......so unreliable.


Including myself, use to you could count on me for anything now I can barely remember what my wife asked me to do 2 minutes ago.

You have to be careful about this sort of thing. The changes can be real but there is always a chance that they are in your mind. The best thing is to talk to somebody who you think has changed. Of course he might deny it even if it's true but it's worth giving it a try.
ps. I'm not just a porn "expert" "Expert" is a big word actually but you know what I mean

Street,

I think we all realise that you are the porn master around here. and you can use the term "expert" if you want too

I used to get that feeling whenever I went on holidays from work. I'd get back and have the feeling that I had lost control of my store and everything had been changed around purposely while I was away ..... problem is that my feeling were usually right as I would find that people had commented to my staff that they were making the changes while I was away on purpose to avoid conflict

yea i've been getting that feelings alot lately. i don't think its just me though. i think there are some changes happening, atleast in my little world. i suggest yea just take it slow and easy and see where things are going. maybe try and see what these changes are, and why they are happening.

I can go on a 3-day break away from town and come back feeling simply out of place.... where nothing seems quite right for awhile.

Eventually I think everyone needs change. To live in the same life for years on end simply can't be healthy. Whether its extremely minor or completely life-altering, change is good.

wow!!

nice to know I'm not the only wone who feels this way from time to time.

I took Streetwise's suggestion, and talked with someone I thought was acting differently, and I think some of was just in my head. Although, I have taken on a lot more responsiblity at work, so maybe it was also just people looking to me for direction, and I had just gotten back from vacation and didn't know what the heck was going on. Althought it is nice to finally be apreciated for the work that I do.

thanks for all the advice and support!!!!!

ya.. things like that happen sometimes. well, I dont usually care about that so much, more like just shrug my shoulders and go on. the world is constantly changing, our cells get old and erode and so on.. it just cant stay the same all the time
this kinda fits for the psychology sub-forum too tho. too bad it hasnt been that lively lately

Yeah, my life has been changing as well. Ever since high school was over, I have no friends. It's just been going down hill from then. It's pretty depressing and i've gone thinking about suicide to get out of my crummy life. Things are alittle better as the days go on, but it's still not enough to actually keep me mentally happy. I just hope going back to school and moving in with my girlfriend would change my life around, she's the only one really that I live for.

Well, I've been thinking . . . (usually not a good thing )

While some of the changes may have just been in my head, not all of them were. One in particular, is the feeling to move. I've decided that I want to move, so now I just have to see about getting a transfer. Granted it might be two or three months before I actually move, it never hurts to start looking early.

Smack, at least you have a g/f. as of right now, I don't have anyone in my life. so I really don't have anything keeping me from moving. the closest thing I have to a g/f, is one of my best friends, who broke up with her b/f about a month ago. I like her, and I know she likes me, but she is using the excuse that I'm her best friend, and she isn't ready to cross that line yet. I can understand that, but I don't think I can wait any longer. I've waited for her for almost 8 months. It's time I move on with my life.

One upside is that one of my best friends lives in the city I'm planning on moving too. I haven't seen him in almost 6 months, so it will be good to catch up. Plus he already said that he could set me up with lots of single girls he knows if I want.
