it is such a social holiday and we aren’t sociable people and it bugs me. First of all it was just me and Hollace trick or treating. Last year her best friend Kayla went with us. This year Kayla is ignoring Hollace. We even ran into Kayla and the large gang of kids with her and she didn’t say a thing even when a little kid said, Kayla, isn’t that your friend? It just breaks my heart. Hollace doesn’t seem too upset about it.
Everywhere the kids were in groups while Hollace T or T’ed alone. On the adult side, all the adults in my neighborhood seemed to know each other and I know no one. I have lived here for 15 years. Across the street is the king and queen of the neighborhood. The woman will say hi to Hollace but not to me. Tonight she said hi to neither of us because she was too busy socializing with all of her friends.
I know this is my issue. I know there is nothing wrong with those people. I am missing that part that connects with people and it bugs the shit out of me. Halloween somehow brings it up. I am in a funk over this. Actually I am nearly in tears on how unconnected I feel and it isn’t just Halloween either. Maybe I better put that extra $$$ in the FSA next year for a good therapist 😉
I also don’t like kids coming to the door for candy either…bah humbug
