I suppose maybe I eat too many though.Huff Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08374300106877859626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434442851611224015.post-60932985788357201022009-01-15T21:03:00.000-05:002009-01-15T21:03:00.000-05:00Well, I err I think, on the side of caution. Trea...Well, I err I think, on the side of caution. Treating-at least in my mind-most people like snacks. That way I am not obliged to have that break-up talk. Those suck. And really, we all need connection and it is up to each of us to determine our boundaries and what is beneficial to our own personsl well-being. Are you a good friend? Do you give as well as recieve? And you know, there are always times when we do more of one than the other. When committed to a person, relationship, course of action etc...that means you give 100%, and also take 100%. That 50-50 stuff is bullshit. A healthy, sustainable relationship HAS to be reciprical. Anything else is doable for varying amounts of time, until one party begins to feel injured. Again, I can't say enough that it is up to each of us to establish boundaries, and most of us do. Unfortunately oftentimes some damage has happened and hurt occured before we become vigilant with our own enforcement. I have reasons to have thought so long and hard about this, and am left perhaps hypervigilant and also longing for connection and feedback. So I will get out of my psychology armchair now. And, leave you with the question I ask myself everyday, "Do I have it in me to invest in this today?" And yes, I can be ruthless. With myself and others. My own self needs to be able to give what I demand from my family and friends. My standards are high, much much higher than most, but when I commit to that level I give more than most people know.Brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12280379332301301014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434442851611224015.post-9096847636350934682009-01-15T19:55:00.000-05:002009-01-15T19:55:00.000-05:00I had a friend once who told me that every time he...I had a friend once who told me that every time her best friends stopped by or called her all they did was bitch and moan and she'd be depressed when they left/hung up. <BR/><BR/>So one day she decided that she didn't need that negativity in her life and told them all they couldn't be friends anymore. She put herself and her needs first. Worked for her.<BR/><BR/>Not sure I could do that. or maybe I'm one of those friends?Huff Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08374300106877859626noreply@blogger.com
