I was thinking about writing about how one of the older kids in host family during my time in the Peace Corps told me I was selfish for ignoring my host family. I wasn't actually ignoring them, but, after spending my first few months at site almost exclusively with my host family, I became really excited spending time with the rest of my village and spent little time at home, leading to my family getting jealous without me realizing it because I'd still come home for meals and small talks. I realized that I wasn't doing enough to show them I appreciated them and started balancing the day by spending mornings in the village and nights at home with the family. I also wanted to talk about how it parallels with how I sometimes go crazy hanging out with specific people, then go crazy hanging out with other people and how that's led to friends believing I don't like them, when I really just sucked at balancing relationships. Thoughts?
