As a rule, I’m a caring and loving individual in respect of people, animals and family. Wherever possible, you can count on me for support and a shoulder to cry on.
I’ll happily give my opinion if asked for it, but can also keep my own counsel or a secret if you needed a confidante.
I had to look “misanthrope” up and I was shocked to find that as far as holidaymakers and shoppers were concerned, I have turned into one!
The definition is as follows
‘one who harbors dislike or distrust of human character or motives in general.’

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! We have recently lost our beloved dog Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney, and now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of my GSD so had hers done too. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

    To be sure shopping and holidays can be times where it is not easy to like people.

    Over the years, I’ve learned the hard lessons of discernment regarding my fellow humans. Only by acknowledging my own dark side am I equipped to accept others on a less misanthropic basis. Good reflection. I enjoyed it.

    That’s because like all misanthropes you went to the school of hard knocks ! 💜💜💜
