There's this truly fascinating art in walking away from certain people who don't treat you well, respect you enough to respond to you, or just don't act like you mean much to them. On one hand you would like to be close with as many good people as you can and you reach out attempting to meets new 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 sometimes. It is something that I struggle with again and again. At what point do you hold your head up high and walk away from the relationship?
I hold myself to a pretty high standard. A great deal of the time I find myself not desiring to do something but doing it anyhow because I know the other person deserves that. I'm of the opinion that is what I'd needed if the situation was switched around. But I feel that most of the time people do not do that for me. I don't know if this is just my generation, but it's become increasingly popular for people to just not make a response to you, not take seconds out of their day to recognise effort, and just hide. I don't know what it is. I don't really understand what makes people do this. Is it an absence of respect? Do you simply not like me? Do you just not care?
As I'm going through life, things really have become more intense. I give my heart out to people in a fashion that I haven't ever been capable of before - and I love that I have started to develop that. But at the exact same time I have experienced more and more perspectives that are just the grandest turnoffs I've ever come by. I find that balance between giving people pieces of me, and deciding to walk away. It's hard to let people around you go especially when there isn't any massive blowup of any sort.
It is hard to turn off attempting to bring people joy. Because that's what it really comes down to for me. I try and bring others as much joy as I am able to during the day. I attempt to make others laugh. I attempt to give them a little leg up, some confidence, some spark to their day that might make it all that much better and happier. I don't expect them to do exactly same for me...but I do look for respect, and if if it's really not there, I don't try to convince them...I just move forward and end up leaving.
Finding the balance has been stupendously hard on my heart lately. But in all truth, I know what I must do. I have to walk away. I have to respect myself enough, the type of person I am , and not really settle for something less than I know what I merit. You must know what you are worth. If you do not think you are 100% worth it, you will accept anything. Remember, people only treat you certain ways by what you accept from them.
