Am I aiming too high?

Do you get annoyed with people after you've spent some time in their company? Well, I do.. some people I can only handle in small dosages. Others, I can hang out with for longer. Recently the question of a perfect "partner" came up, my criterion was simple, someone I don't get annoyed with after I've spent like days, months with.. This seemed to be a bit of an impossibility? Am I aiming too high?

I would say not. My daughter always felt the same way. She said zhe had never met that person who didn't annoy her after spending so time with him. She was single a long time and she never settled. About six months ago this guy came along and she is head over heels in love. It is so funny to see her like that because I never seen her like that with anybody before. She said to me "So this is what it's suppose to feel like? I had no idea. Never felt this way before about anybody." She loves spending time with him they do everything together and he never annoys her just by being around.

perhaps you are expecting too much from people as the best of people will have faults and stop think do not you have faults too?

Of course I do, and am sure I annoy people to no end too. However, this doesn't mean I should try to put up with someone's shortcomings just to be with them. Or at least I ain't met the person that makes me wanna put up with their faults As I am perfectly happy on my own. Also I know there is at least 1-2 people, i.e my best friends who don't annoy me after spending weeks with them. So it is possible

I am much the same way when people come and stay with me. However, my late husband was one person I could spend 24/7 with and never get bored or annoyed. And he always said he felt the same way about me. So I know that you're not aiming too high. I just wouldn't know how to even find that person. He and I met in a chat room online by chance, and we were 2,000 miles apart. So most times you just never know.

Thank you! You nailed this one, I think it's cos we are both Capricorns? But ya, I'm done trying to "work things out" before you even get into a relationship, can you imagine what it'll be like once you're in one!

@Drosophila I was the Capricorn who kept saying...I don't think this is a good idea! The Gemini talked me into it, can you even imagine? lol I just think it was meant to be and when something it meant to be, it's bigger than you are and you just can't fight it. Trust me on this one and I hope and pray that the right one comes along for you one day soon because I want to hear the joy in your words.

No. Certainly its true that you must be able to spend time with a person before you take as a partner....if you cannot jell with that person its never going to work out It is true that you can never be ascertain unless you try but ig partner should always be known before made

That's right, I don't see what I can gain from taking on someone who I find annoying at most times?

@Drosophila all that you could gain is their satisfaction and their smile which might not probably not last long tho

It does depend on who the company is, but in many cases I too get annoyed after a while. Everyone has their annoying quirks (even me I'm sure) . . . there are some I will tolerate because they do other wonderful things to balance it out. I don't know about "perfect", but surely it is possible to be with someone that possesses that tolerable balance .

I think you are reasonable with that. We all need time alone or with other company. Some people are only casual acquaintances while others you can't seem to get enough of. Maybe with couples is they know when the other needs space?

If you don't aim high, you'll end up punching below your weight... And never know what you are capable of! Food for thought.

@Drosophila No you are not aiming high , rather you have described yourself the best pragmatic way possible. People tend to pretend themselves under the dimensions of ideal believes like old is gold friend sort of things. But you are being quite straight

I know exactly what you mean. I'm lucky that my husband always gives me plenty of space. We're often in different rooms doing different things and it doesn't bother us. I think we're happiest when we're together but doing different things. I think compared to many couples we are more independent, though we obviously do enjoy time together too. I can think of many people who I can only cope with in small doses and I have learned not to feel guilty about limiting the time I spend with these people.

@5thHouse ya I think so, I mean I can be as social as you like, but I feel sometimes I have more fun doing things myself than hang out with people, especially if they happens to be annoying.

@Myselffati I think I've got more protective over my space the older I've got. I've come to the conclusion that I'm a bit antisocial at times and I've stopped trying to fight it! Luckily, my other half can be a bit of a loner too so we somehow manage to be loners together.

Yes Its too high! Relationship consists of two people, both the parties have to adapt for each other, if both of them are looking for long term relationship, one person cannot do everything for sustaining a good relationship.

Ya I think we all get annoyed from time to time, as situation arise that might not help with the matter. However, I think if I just get annoyed hanging out with the person, then no, that's not the one for me I'd rather be alone, am happier that way
