So many people....

I see lots of people every day. I like to people watch. I do it when I am driving by myself, I watch people out in the stores, or where ever. I am very aware of the people around me. I have been told that I would make a horrible victim...lol...good!

I notice things, little things, about people. I pay attention to the little details, and make note of things I see. I tell people when I notice something they do or say. Not negative things, but if someone makes a comment that shows me they are frustrated or having a hard time, I make a special effort to find out if they are okay. This happens a lot at work really. With the kids in my class, I can tell if things are going on at home by the demeanor of the kids in school. I mention things all the time to parents. THIS is why they love me soo much. They know that I GET their kids, that I pay attention to their children so closely that I know them inside and out.

I like to make note of the little things that mean something to someone, and do something nice for them. For instance, if I know someone loves cookies, I will find out what their favorite kind are and bake them as a surprise. Just little things like that. I love to do things for other people that puts a smile on their face.

The only down side to this is that often times people become expectant of these random acts from me, and get rude when I don't do something when they want it. I like to go out of my way for people that mean something to me, it makes ME feel good about ME. But I do expect to get out of a friendship, or relationship, what I put into it. Otherwise the other person is just a leech...lol.
