I regard people in general as typically high maintenance. Perhaps why I have always been somewhat of a loner. My small circle of close friends is by design. "Friending" on Facebook is completely out of my character.

Not because I can't get along with folks, but because I eventually learn their agenda and it typically doesn't sit well with me.

What bothers me most are those that feel compelled to elevate their social stature to the point that they exert much time and energy to do so. There is nothing wrong with taking pride in what you do, being good at what you do, or being confident with what you do. However, I do believe that those that really have "it", enjoy praise with little or no solicitation for it.

I believe our President is the type of personality I would include into my small circle of friends. I trust him.
