RE: In Introspection: Talking Validation & Acceptance

in GEMS2 years ago

I try not to expect things from people and that's what has been keeping me going, for a while.

When you have great expectations for certain people or certain things, if things go south it will result to disappointment. Hence, I try not to allow myself expect too much or expect at all. Although it's difficult but I try to be realistic and open to the negative side also. This will give me a soft landing spot so that if the negative turns out, I won't be so disappointed.

I believe that no one owes me support... no one owes me help...

Wait oooo, I don't know if I got the English correct

What I mean is that, when I ask someone for help or assistance, it's either s/he gives me or not... him giving or not giving me, doesn't make him good or bad... except, let's say, the manner he used giving or not giving...

Well
E be like say I don go off point
Lol

Sort:  

You no go off point hahaha. Well last week, my aunt was lamenting that the church didn't give me any support when my mum died, but deep down I know the church don't owe me that and even if they actually did, it was a sign of good gesture and not because it was a necessity. I think that's why everyone must strive to be individually enabled. Because not being so brings us resentments when people don't come through for us.
