stop letting people walk all over me

i’ve been letting the world go by and not say anything. Now its time to speak and be heard. No one can stop me from following my Dream. Im gonna make it. Let it be known. I will Never give up.

after a particularly um, enlightening first couple of hours at work this morning, i’ve come to realize a few things:

- work is just for work. i'm going to leave work at work no matter what happens at the end of each shift and go home and focus on the really important things. (my fiancee', my dogs, my apt, etc.)  i will in no way become the type of person who defines themselves by their work and does whatever it takes to "get me there". i refuse to be that kind of ugly person.

- unless you've known them previously, do not expect any kind of comradery from your co-workers. if you suspect that they are constantly sizing you up and have a competitive nature, you're not being paranoid, they do and they are. do not think it is beneath them to gossip/keep tabs on you, especially if they think that particular information will get themselves somewhere should they flap their mouths more.

- nobody believes the golden rule anymore. who was i kidding?! even if you treat people the way you'd like to be treated or leave things the way you'd like them to be left, 85% of the time that same sensibility will not be shown back to you.

- people will exploit and embellish what you say and use any morsel of beneficial training/ideas you've given them without crediting you in the same process. it's infuriating!

i know these aren’t blanket statements, but it’s what’s going on at my job right now. 90% of my job is great don’t get me wrong but… after this morning i have a whole new view of EVERYTHING and everyone around me.

i’ll be playing my cards pretty close to my vest from here on out. i’m tired of letting people walk all over me.

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit

i once had a best friend who was little strange ! sometimes he is so nice and kind and the other day he is like from another planet ! at the begining i said to myself ” give him his space ! everyone got his own issues ” , but after a while his weird behaviours starts to affect me! i’m a very sensitive person ( which can be annoying sometimes i know … specially to me ) anything affects me . if someone say “hi” without smiling i keep wondering the whole day “why he wasn’t smiling ? have i did something wrong?” and i may cry and get so sad ! so anyway … i try to endure his strange behaviours till i had ENOUGH . and oneday i just told him that i’m really really pissed off and i can’t stand this anymore! and i recieved from him the weirdest reaction EVER , he said i hurt him !! WHAT ??? aghhhhh … i simply walked away from him , but i still keep wondering ! HOW .. WHY ?! why people always hurt me and when i try to speak up they turn the table on me and say that i hurted them !

Ive always been known as the girl that holds her emotions in and wont tell you what she thinks of you. If you were to something mean to me i would most likely let you, and even agree… someone help im getting sick of being walked all over

I wish i would stop letting people walk all over me. I let my family walk all over me, i let my friends walk all over me, and especially guys walk all over me. when i think about it i tell myself i deserve to be respected, i deserve better than this, and i deserve for once to do what i would like. but then when i get in situations where i have to make a decision i always let the other person win. maybe it’s because it is easier, but i am not one to take the easy way out. i really like to be liked by everybody and have always had a hard time finding friends. i think the real problem is i am afraid of being alone more than anything. so i will do anything to please the other person so they won’t leave me. i think i need to find a way to be happy with being alone and then i will finally be able to tell off people who use me and don’t give me respect.

look at urself in the mirror, itz the amazing person who deserve to have all the attentions
you are not the one who listen and please others
you are just as important as the others
ignore your emotion
let the diva inside u come out

i have been used all my life by friends. and i let them do it. i was the substitute friend. i never said anything because i’m a pleaser. I want everyone to like me. i lived my life for other people and it wore me down. its exhausting.

FINALLY i discarded all the people that were bringing me down. and it felt amazing.

my advice…you have to realize that your own happiness comes first. you have to live for you.
don’t get me wrong…i haven’t turned into like a psycho bitch that goes around telling everyone off…

but if i see that im not getting treated right by the people who are supposed to care the most…i walk. and thats that. no more bullshit. no more second chances. i dont need that in my life.

and if you try to leave friends and they give you this “youll be sorry” bullshit like theyre the last people on the face of the earth and without them youre nothing. you can tell them to shove it.
because without those people…i’m the happiest i’ve ever been.

good luck to all of you who are still struggling with this.
its hard. but in the end soo worth it.

ya know i need to do this

When somebody insults me I just try to get around it but I can’t. I just can’t take it and I start crying. Usually they don’t do that bad but even so, I feel hurt then go to the bathroom and cry. But I will at least try to get over it. Sometimes it works but usually it doesn’t. I wish people would just leave me alone!

I like using those formatting ^codes They are so cool! But anyway, I wish I could stop letting people walk all _over me.
