Out of sync

Quite often of late, I have felt completely out of sync with the people around me, in a number of different ways.

• Dealing with difficult family relationships
• Just when it seemed that real improvement and good wholesome interchange was a legitimate part of this particularly difficult relationship, everything returns to distant and disengaged. 
• Sleeping
• When the rest of the world is ready to sleep I'm nowhere close. Some late late nights over the past week.
• Working
• When I'm working, everyone I'd like to hang out with is free. When I'm free, many others are working.
• Having "fun"
• I have found that the ways that I choose to have fun has caused someone else to not have fun. Yet when I willingly curtail what I would like to do to allow them to have fun, the concession isn't noticed.
• Spiritually
• Out of sync to say the least. My skepticism doesn't mesh well with the faith based principles of family, friends, and other acquaintances
• Politically
• likewise. My liberal perspective often causes conflict with the people / family / friends that are around me and important to me.
• Friends
• When a few, important relationships seem distant, my assumption and application of that extends even to those people whom I trust as friends and who have no idea I am assuming they are distancing themselves as well.

But life continues. Out of Sync or not.
