There's this actually challenging art in walking away from people who don't treat you well, respect you enough to reply to you, or simply don't act like you mean much to them. On one hand you want to be close with as many people as you can and you reach out trying to meets new friends. On the other hand you've got this respect for yourself and pride in how you act. The middle ground is tough to find on occasion. It is something that I struggle with again and again. Really, 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 lot of the time I find myself not wanting to do something but doing it anyways because I know the other person deserves that. I'm of the opinion that is what I'd appreciate if the situation was switched around. But I feel a lot 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 is incredibly popular for people to just not take time to respond to you, not take seconds out of their day to recognize effort, and just hide. I do not know what it is. I don't understand what makes people do this. Is it a lack of respect? Do you simply not like me? Do you just not care?
As I am going through life, things seem to become more intensified. I give my heart out to others in a unique way that I have never been capable of before - and I love that I have started to develop that. But simultaneously I have experienced more and more angles that are just the largest turnoffs in general. I try to find that balance between giving people pieces of me, and deciding to walk away. It feels hard to let people go ...especially when there isn't any big blowup of any sort.
It's hard to turn off making an attempt to bring people joy. Because that really is what it really whittles down to for me. I try to bring others as much joy as I am capable of during the day. I try and make folks smile. 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's not there, I don't attempt to convince them...I just move on 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 need to respect myself enough, the sort of person I am now and not really settle for something less than I know what I truly deserve. You must know what you are worth. If you do not believe you are worth it, you'll settle for anything. Remember, people only treat you certain ways by what you accept from them.
