Am I wrong?

inkjunkie said

I am retired, out one disability but I consider it retired. Have a friend that is on me to come over and look at there atv. I am dragging my a** getting there. It will not start, sort of sounds like a bad starter. Anyway....ever since leaving the Post Office I have developed this feeling of not wanting to be "obligated" to anybody but my wife and myself. Up to the point of leaving the PO I was the first to volunteer for things. Really enjoyed helping people. But any more I just do not want to. And if I am going to do something it will be on my schedule. Is it wrong to feel like this?

I don't know if anyone would accuse you of being wrong for feeling like this, but maybe it's a little worrisome. You know, by sort of "withdrawing", if that's what it is......I've got a whole story on this, but I'm not going to get into it. I live out in the desert, remember?

If it's just you not wanting to feel committed to working on other people's stuff, I know exactly what that feels like. I started just telling people "I'm feelin' lazy", then laugh. Works every time. OR.....I'll tell them "you bring it over, you do the work, and I'll direct" It gets old when people want you to do them a favor and get their stuff running so they can flip it. LOL
