There's this truly challenging art in walking off from certain people who don't treat you well, respect you enough to reply to you, or just don't act like you mean much to them. On one hand you want to be close with as many people as you can and you reach out making an attempt to make new good friends. On the other hand you've got this respect for yourself and pride in how you act. The middle ground is hard to find at times. It is something that I struggle with over and over again. Really, at what point do you hold your head up high and walk away from the relationship?
I hold myself to a very high standard. A large amount of the time I find myself not desiring to do something but doing it anyhow because I know the other person deserves that. I'm of the opinion that is what I would want if the situation was switched around. But I feel that most of the time these people I'm close with do not do that for me. I'm not sure if this is just my generation, but it is incredibly popular for people to just not respond to you, not take seconds out of their day to recognise effort, and just hide. I do not know what it is. I don't understand what makes people do this. Is it a lack of respect? Do you not like me? Do you simply not care?
As I am going through life, things seem to become more intensified. I give my heart out to people in a fashion that I have never been capable of before - and I love that I have started to develop that. But at the exact same time I have experienced more and more perspectives that are just the largest turnoffs in general. I try to find that balance between giving people honest chances, and deciding to walk away. It's hard to let people in your life go especially when there isn't any massive blowup of any sort.
It is hard to flip off attempting to bring people joy. Because that is what it actually whittles down to for me. I attempt to bring others as much joy as I can throughout the day. I attempt to make people laugh. I try and give them a little leg up, some confidence, some spark to their day that might make it all that much better. I don't expect them to do exactly same for me...but I do look for respect, and if if it's really not there, I do not make attempts to convince them...I just move on and end up leaving.
Finding the balance has been incredibly hard on my heart these days. But in all seriousness, I know what I have to do. I need to walk away. I need to respect myself enough, the sort of person I am , and not accept something less than I know what I deserve. You must know what you are worth. If you don't think you are 100% worth it, you may accept anything. Remember, people only treat you certain ways by what you accept from them.
