So today I'm going to attempt to rehash what I was trying to talk to you about yesterday. I want to discuss "give and take" in relationships. I'm sure we all have that one friend who always makes everything about themselves. You know the one that asks how you're doing as an opening just so they can talk about themselves. Yea well I have lots of those in my life and frankly I'm fucking tired of it. I do and do for people. Whether it be listening to them vent, a shoulder to cry on, check stuff on their websites for them and on and on and on. Yet I tend to keep to myself. Bottle up feelings because I don't want to bother anybody because I know they have their own shit going on. To me the worst is when people know I'm not in a good place or know I'm so busy I don't have time for myself yet they continue to ask me to do things for them. Or continue to go on and on about themselves. They are doing the one thing I try not to do to people.
What I want to know is what makes these people think they are the only ones that matter? Because news flash, the moon does not revolve around you only. It revolves around the same Earth we are all on. My advice to these bad friends is, if you don't care how I'm doing, don't fucking ask. If you do ask, listen and don't turn it around to be about you because we all matter, not just you.
Since most of my friends read my blog, I can already feel the pissed off text an emails coming my way. Really though I'm not mad, just tired of it. I really don't like to blow people off because that's not me, so you can see why this gets under my skin so bad. If you have people like this in your life and you're like me, hang in there. We can't help that we're super nice people who just happened to get pushed to the side. BUT know you do matter and as one of these people like you, know you can always contact me privately (contact tab) if you need to talk. I'll listen and talk you though things and like always it will go no further than me.
I will be doing one more blog for y'all today. The next one deals with that one thing we all hate. WEIGHT! I am going to be brutally honest about myself and insecurities so you will know other people have the exact same thoughts about themselves as you probably do about you.
xoxo
