That day I went out of the house. I did not plan where to go. Just walked and went towards the place where I got the sudden feeling to go. At that time, I felt someone looking at me. And I turned. I saw my ex-colleague. When I turned, she just pretended to look at the other side.
When I worked with her, she was the calm one among others, won't talk with anybody. I was thinking about what to do. I can talk, or I can continue to walk. I had a few seconds to decide. And I thought, I don't have anything in common with her now. If I talk with her, she can feel bad for the things that I did not get in my life or life's experience has changed her to have a tough and rude mind. I just walked, did not talk. She is an extreme introvert, and I don't want to give her too many things to think. lol.
With relatives and old friends, I feel this nowadays. After a certain age, we change as per our life's experiences. If there is no bond, then it is just a vacuum. And if there is nothing common to hold the bond, then it doesn't have any future. We can pretend as if we care for others, but truly, we are strangers. I don't spend too much of my energy on such occasions.
Relatives, ex-colleagues, and friends become strangers, and it needs a strong common factor to develop a bond after a certain age. One of the painful truths about life is that. That is why I am my own friend. lol.
