102509: Original post to be, devoured by negative energy!

Initially, I sat down and began typing in a negative state. After leaving the post

 for 2 days, I came back and read it, and am so glad I didn’t post it, as it dripped

 with immense hatred and venom. And by putting it out there, wouldn’t have

 solved the various issues and thoughts I’m currently navigating through. I’m

 having difficulty identifying friends at the moment, as there seems to be too

 much of a soap opera brewing. Basically, I’m annoyed with a few people, who

 seem more like free-loaders than actual friends. Content to accept invitations to

 various gathering my wife & I have thrown, but always show up empty handed,

 and feel content to eat, drink, and be merry, always on my dime. There’s never

 any reciprocation! I know, I should be humble, and thankful that these people

 have a good time, but to be honest, I don’t always have the money to do this,

 and end up straining finances in attempt to please everyone. Now, I’ve got to

 figure out how to deal with these people, as it gives me no joy to hang out with

 them anymore. I understand that everyone’s going through issues today, but,

 I’m tired of people complaining, but not doing anything with effort, to change

 their situations. Me, I’m just trying to figure out what I need to do, and I keep

 the complaining as only mentioned to my wife. Not that the aforementioned

 people are bad people, they’re not, I just have to figure out if I should just be

 direct and let them know how I feel/see things, and if needed, cut my losses and

 move on?
