Let’s just say it out loud—sometimes people are… a lot.
Like, I wake up optimistic. Coffee in hand. Heart open. Vibes high.
And then people happen.
Suddenly I’m staring into the void, channeling my inner Grinch in a Santa hat, wondering how I can love humanity while also wanting everyone to stop talking immediately.
Because here’s the truth nobody puts on a Hallmark card:
Some people don’t just test your patience… they summon vocabulary you didn’t even know you had.
It’s not that you hate people.
You just hate behavior.
You hate the fake niceness.
The unnecessary opinions.
The drama disguised as “just being honest.”
The energy vampires who show up uninvited and leave you questioning your growth.
And during the holidays? Whew. It’s amplified.
Everyone’s louder.
Everyone’s busier.
Everyone suddenly has thoughts they feel entitled to share.
So yes—sometimes you don’t like people.
And yes—sometimes they make you want to say bad words.
(Not at them… just internally… mostly.)
But here’s the growth part (because we love a little personal development with our sarcasm):
Not liking people doesn’t make you negative.
It makes you self-aware.
It means you’re learning discernment.
It means your tolerance for nonsense is no longer unlimited.
It means you’ve evolved past entertaining every vibe just because it showed up wrapped in tinsel.
You’re allowed to protect your peace.
You’re allowed to excuse yourself from draining conversations.
You’re allowed to laugh, sip your drink, and mentally mute someone.
Being kind doesn’t mean being available to everyone.
And having a good heart doesn’t require liking all humans equally.
So this season, embrace your inner Grinch—with boundaries.
Smile. Be polite. Spread cheer where it’s earned.
And when people test you?
Take a breath.
Say the bad words in your head.
And keep your holiday spirit… selectively applied. 🎄😌
Because peace on earth starts with peace in your nervous system.
