I get so sick of counting on people and letting them let me down. Yeah, it's really own my fault, for whatever expectations that I come up with in my own mind for them to follow, and inevitably, it all seems to fall by the way-side. Dr. Phil says we get angry with people when they do not live up to our expectations of them.
I'm very hard to get to know, and when I do let somebody "in," it's a big deal for me. After they let me down, I always think the same thing, "Why did I let that person in?"after they have disappointed me... then I quickly retreat.
Letting people in who do not treat us right can just further our belief system that we are not good enough.

WOW - I could have written this my own self!
ReplyDeleteBut I would add - that people (we -I - me - us)
We find ourselves in all kinds of crazy crap.
And we are all struggling at times.....
So I try to be understanding and even forgiving
.....of myself and others....
Like that famous quote -"Be kind -for everyone we
meet is fighting some kind of battle...."
On the other hand - hells to the yeah!
It sucks for sure!
Hope you find some goodness in there somewhere,
and keep on being ok! ☮
