It's too much to ask for, and I am not the doctor

 Honestly, this is going to sound weird, maybe even pompous, but my emotions on this subject are more along the lines of bewilderment and anxiety. I wouldn't mention it except that it's happened at least twice.

Maybe I'm just too nice for my own good or something, but it would appear that I have the habit of finding myself sitting on people's ( Read more... )

It's not weird. Don't be afraid of who you are. If we're your friends, then we'll always be here for you, no matter how hard you fall. Even if it's falling in our favor.

But being placed on a pedestal is never a good thing, and so it is not an unreasonable request, and I hope all those you are addressing this to do well to note that you have a point, and are in the right.

Also, you're not stupid. Say that again and I'll beat you.

Your real friends will always be your friends no matter what you do and who you are.

I think that when people find out the other people they know are nicer than they expected, their expectations sky-rocket. It's...a really bad habit and a bad pattern I've seen in some people. Sometimes they realize it and back off, sometimes they don't. (If that all makes any sense. ^^;;)

My point is, like the person above me said, don't be afraid of who you are, and don't feel like you have to worry about pleasing anybody but YOU. If your friends love you, they'll love you no matter what. :]

I know that, but when it becomes a force that is not only destructive to the relationship but also to the well-being of the person involved (not me, them), it's a problem.

It's a good thing that I'm too lazy to build metaphorical shelves. Too much wood glue and effort is needed.

First of all, that is my favorite Alanis Morisette song.

Second, you can sit on my pedestal anytime.

Third, don't feel stupid. Don't self - aggrandize, either.

Fourth, you're being too hard on yourself...again...regardless of what other people may have told you.

Fifth, be who you want to be. Let others think what they will. Eleanor Roosevelt said it best: "What others think of me is none of my business."

Sixth, luff yoo. =D

It's a great song ^^

I don't WANT to sit on your pedestal, though D:

-lowers ears- ok...

In what regard?

I'm fine with who I am, for the most part, but when what others think destroys relationships, it's hard to ignore.
