dreamsville 0 #33 September 6, 2002 Quote: Or, an even better thing to do, talk them into coming out to do tandems, make your whuffo friends skydiving friends. It might be helpful to suggest this while they are all drinking. I think I have hit a brick wall with those who have not yet jumped. Except for a close friend from Grosse Pointe, Mich. this summer, everyone else is pretty much still refusing to toss their ass out of a plane, unlike sensible people like us who anticipate an aircraft emergency and leave long before it may ever develop. HarryI don't drink during the day, so I don't know what it is about this airline. I keep falling out the door of the plane. Harry, FB #4143 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumperpaula 0 #34 September 6, 2002 Quote I don't spend as much time with them anymore and I "don't seem to care." I didn't really have any friends to start with, but my Family leans on this statement sometimes. Especially for weekend get aways which I respectfully decline now. They get over it soon enough and accept it as part of you. I still make an effort to surprise them sometimes and show up when they least expect it. Maybe spend some time with your "old gang" this weekend....since it's raining anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #35 September 6, 2002 Yeah...my Mom gets all excited now when I tell her I will show up for dinner. She knows it's normally impossible to get me to do ANYTHING that doesn't involve being at the DZ. So, in a way, skydiving has gets me MORE respect for doing less.....

SBS 0 #36 September 6, 2002 Just a thought... I always hear people saying, "if they were your friends, they would understand." They may just plain not understand how important this is to you, and may feel left out because they don't know how important they are to you. If they are still important in your life, then make sure that they know that. Ask them what they would like to do in order to feel close to you, what they would like you to do. There can always be a comprimise between friends...it has to be just that, though, if the friendship is important to you. In other words, it is not all their job to bend to your new found hobby, and their job to understand how you feel...you need to make comprimises if you value them, and try to understand how they feel. Just a thought. -S_____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pippy 0 #39 September 6, 2002 I went through that too. that is just the way it is with Skydivers. My friends got use to it...now I talk to them once in a while. Don't you remember when we went home I didn't see any of my wuffo friends except Sophie and she isn't really a wuffo because she has a jump. So anyways.... they will get over it eventually and realize that it is just part of you now. You will always have skydiver friends all over the world. That is one of the coolest things about this sport. Anyways.... don't feel bad. Love, Pippy SAFE IS COOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
