Rant

Dear diary, (it's not like anyone will ever read this, so I might as well do it the old-fashioned way...)
I'm really pissed off right now. I've been feeling kinda weird for a few days now, and now I know why... well, part of it at least. I know that I have my faults(who doesn't?), but I'm always there for my friends. So why the heck can't they do

wow, I can say that you sound just like me. I've ranted this same thing. And here's the thing, nothing changed. I felt crappy, and just sad.

Here's what i did(and I know it may suck) I stopped helping my friends out so much. At first I hated it, because THATS WHO I AM. But you can't be their doormat forever. Youc an still be friends with them, but you just have to tell them things like 'I think it's be great if you listened to me, because I take the time to listen to you all the time." If nothing changes, you might just have to let up on some of the things your helping them out with.

Hope this isn't too bold. I mean I could say more but i didn't want to write you a book. If you want to know more or if you just want to talk, you can go to my lj and add me ;)

Wow, I didn't think anyone would ever read this, let alone comment. How did you find me?

Maybe you're right, most probably actually. It's just hard to tell them that I don't have time or that I can't always be the one listening when they call and sound really sad, you know? And Dalila's problems are so much worse than mine and sometimes I think what right do I have to bother her with my petty problems when's she's having such a tough time. I know that's nonsense, because even though my life is rather "easy", sometimes I do need someone to talk and that's what friends are for, right? But I just can't help it.
But your tip is great, I will definitely try that. Thank you very much!

I clicked on life in the sidebar and your entry came up. I read it and just thought how much it sounded like me and how much i went through the saem problem and am STILL GOING through it.

Oh I know what you mean. It sucks and I felt horrible. It's very hard at first. But how can they do it to you? You see what I'm saying?

Everyone always has it worse than you. That's what I always say. Her problems may be worse than yours. But someone's are worse than hers. Make sure she's aware of that and not taking you for granted. No one likes selfish people. Everyone needs someone to talk to. It doesnt matter how hard their life is. So you deserve that.

I mean the choice is up to you. It's just things can't get better if you don't help it out you know? Cuz right now their doing it because they know they can.

Much luck!!

Yeah, you're absolutely right. Thank you so very much for your advice, I really appreciate it! Much luck to you, too, and if you ever need to rant or anything else you think I could help you with, I'd gladly return the favour. :)
