![]() ![]() Old people at the grocery store, old people at church, old people at restaurants, old people at bus stops, always so so so chatty. She's not some poor elderly recluse, she's just really chatty.Īnd I have this as a bigger issue just generally. When she's not she's got a job she loves and a bunch of other community involvement and she's constantly interacting with people. ![]() I will say before everyone tells me I'm heartless or whatever she she's not alone her son and his wife and kids visit her every single day and she has multiple friends that come over most days as well, she still goes out to community events and stuff, and that's just while she's recovering. Negative people often influence what we think about. Take a deep breath and decide that you're going to make it a great day, despite what others say or do. And I didn't mind it at first but I'm already spending 2-3 hours of my day doing this with just the walks and the commute, and I just don't have the time to listen to her tell me the same stories over and over and over for an hour twice a day too. Create a mantra, such as, 'I'm going to stay positive today despite the people around me,' and repeat it often to help you stay on track. And every time I go over she ends up talking to me for about 20min before I can even get out the door with the dog, and then another 20-40 minutes when I get back before I can actually leave. I have a family friend who's in her 90s and she recently had a knee replacement so I've been walking her dog two or three times a day for a couple weeks, and probably will be doing it for still at least a couple more. ![]() How the hell do I get out of conversations from old people without being rude and just like, shutting the door on them mid sentence or whatever? TL DR I keep getting cornered by old people talking to me and then not reacting/letting me go when I try to tell them or otherwise signal that I need to leave. ![]()
