There's this truly interesting art in walking away from certain people who don't treat you well, respect you enough to respond to you, or don't act like you mean much to them. On one hand you want to be close with as many good people as you can and you reach out attempting to make 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 on occasion. It is something that I fight 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 very 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 really deserves that. I know that is what I might have needed if the situation was switched around. But I feel a lot of the time these people I'm close with do not do that for me. I'm not sure if this is just my generation, but it is more popular for people to just not respond to you, not take seconds out of their day to recognise effort, and just hide. I do not know what it is. I do not understand what makes people do this. Is it a dearth of respect? Do you just not like me? Do you simply not care?
As I am going through life, things really have become more intense as it seems. I give my heart out to people around me in a fashion 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 perspectives 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 around you go especially when there is not any massive blowup of any sort.
It's hard to switch off trying to bring others joy. Because that's what it actually boils down to for me. I attempt to bring others as much joy as I am able to during the day. I attempt to make folks smile. I try to give them a little leg up, some confidence, some spark to their day that might just make it all that miles better. I do not expect them to do exactly same for me...but I do look for respect, and if it's not there, I do not make attempts to convince them...I just end up leaving.
Finding the balance has been stupendously hard on my heart these days. But in all truth, I know what I must do. I need to walk away. I need to respect myself enough, the sort of person I am , and not accept something less than I know what I deserve. You have to know what you are worth. If you don't think that you are worthwhile, you'll settle for anything. Remember, people only treat you certain ways by what you accept from them.
