What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?
There isn’t much to do around here. I do love badminton as you know. I love seeing my sister, although it’s not quiet on either side, seeing her is always peaceful. I can be me.
I used to love a mooch round the shops but so much has been lost in the last few years there’s barely a high street shop worth visiting. I know a lot of oldies say that, and I used to get annoyed by my mother saying the same, sorry mum.
I’ve never been that exciting a person. I’ve always had to manage my mental health having had a very difficult upbringing emotionally. Looking back it’s hard to credit just how screwed up my family were, and it’s a credit to myself and my brother that we’re as sane as we are. It’s hard won though. We’re both people who prefer a quiet life with people we trust.
Managing the anxiety took every ounce of energy I had got most of my adult life. I kept going though.
As an empath I pick up the felines of people very easily. I can be walking down the street, someone walks past me, and suddenly my mood changes completely. I know what it is now, for years I didn’t. If suddenly become frantically worried by things that weren’t happening to me. I thought I was insane. Horrible.
So that’s part of why I’m one of the least exciting people on the planet. I’m also very lucky that I’ve never minded being on my own. So clearly being peaceful is right for me. I do enjoy it.
