Lph, I think one of my issues is that these people are not really passionate about anything, especially the one who rolled her eyes. She is the most level headed and smartest person I know, who is not one of my friends connected to athletics, but her life is mostly work, family, and eating out. She has no hobbies or interests. Both her and the other person I've mentioned (friend of the Facebook posts) are friends for 20+ years, made when i first move back here and my kids were small. Our common bond was we met at the synagogue, and now, although we all still belong there, and support the organization, we are not active volunteers.
I think when she rolled her eyes, it kind of was surprising, but it didn't reach the level of my reaction to the other person! I know my reaction to that person is out of proportion, and it stems from the fact that she needs serious mental health help, and as a professional, I can see it, but as a friend, I can't say anything; it would totally end the friendship. This person does have interests, but things that I totally have no interest in. I listen and even ask questions about her interests, but there's no common bond anymore.
Does this make sense?
Maybe it's time to find some new friends, but that's not so easy at this stage of life.
