There's this actually challenging art in walking off from those 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 need to be close with as many potential people as you can and you reach out attempting to make new good friends. On the other hand you have got this respect for yourself and pride in how you act. The middle ground is hard to find on occasion. It is something that I struggle with over and over again. When 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 needing to do something but doing it anyways because I know the other person deserves that. Sometimes I know that is what I might have appreciate if the situation was switched around. But I feel that most of the time these people I'm close with don't really do that for me. I don't know if this is just my generation, but it has become increasingly popular for people to just not respond to you, not take seconds out of their day to recognize effort, and just hide. I don't 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 go through life, things really have become more intense as it seems. I give my heart out to others in a way that I have truly never been capable of before - and I love that I have started to develop that. But at the same time I have experienced many perspectives that are just the grandest turnoffs I've ever come by. I try and find that balance between giving people pieces of me, and deciding to walk away. It's hard to let people go particularly when there isn't any big blowup of any sort.
It is hard to turn off attempting to bring people joy. Because that really is what it truly whittles down to for me. I attempt to bring others as much joy as I can throughout the course of the day. I attempt to make folks grin. I attempt to give them a little leg up, some confidence, some spark to their day that might just make it all that much better and happier. I do not expect them to do exactly same for me...but I do look for respect, and if it is not there, I do not make attempts to convince them...I just move forward and end up leaving.
Finding the balance has been wonderfully hard on my heart lately. But in all seriousness, I know what I need to do. I should walk away. I have to respect myself enough, the kind of person I am , and not settle for something less than I know what I truly deserve. You have got to know what you are worth. If you don't think that you are worth it, you'll never settle for just anything. Remember, people only treat you certain ways by what you accept from them.
