 Low maintenance people are amazing. And if you know one or are one, you know what I mean. Low maintenance people are emotionally inexpensive and we love that about you. They are a joy to be around. They are team players. They are agreeable people and they are amazing people to have in your life. And I wonder if we could all aspire to become lower maintenance people. High maintenance people are the opposite of all those things I just said. And high maintenance people can be exhausting and can be draining and can deplete us and take from us and not give to us because that is the nature of being a high maintenance person. Because some of you do struggle with the high maintenance tendencies and wonder why it affects you so much even on a daily basis with relationships and with conflict and with people that would rather not be around us. When I talk about high maintenance people, I don't mean people that are sick or battling some illness or have some disability or some learning difficulty. These are people that require more maintenance than the rest of us because of a condition. I'm talking about intentional high maintenance people who know full well that they are exhausting and that they can be manipulative and can be very self-absorbed.
