stop depending on others for my happiness (read all 2 entries…)
Isn't it wack... 3 years ago

That what someone says or does can totally mess up my day? I mean, mess it up on another level. I guess the solution is to distance yourself from people who don’t make you feel good about yourself.

avoid people

I have the same problem sometimes. People doing or saying things that mess up your day or at least a few hours. Just by being not sensitive towards the feelings of other persons or something. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to distance yourself from people. Maybe you should be more direct to that person who makes you feel uncomfortable. Just say what you don’t like about what he’s saying or doying. It’s not easy to do. But they have a problem, not you isn’t?

What has made this even worse is the fact that I have told these people directly. I’m very direct with people who hurt my feelings, and they continue, which is why my only solution (or the only one I can think of ) is to distance myself. These are people who have known me for about 9/10 years, or longer, and they still don’t take heed of my feelings.

Understand why I have to just get away? They just don’t give a damn!

on the right track

I agree with you. Space and time can do wonders for everyone. If you can do something to be around more positive people, you will be better off than if you isolate yourself. I recommend that you ensure that you have made every effort at being open, diplomatic, understanding and fair to those people involved and to yourself before you distance yourself.

struggle

I agree, but how do you do that when it’s your mother and you are her only child and she’s a recent widow? It’s hard but I have the same problem. Even with some frinds, no matter if I distance myself from them, then I have to listen to their messages and read their Emails complaining about me not bein there. A decade of this problem.
