There's this actually challenging art in walking away from people who don't treat you well, respect you enough to respond to you, or simply don't act like you mean much to them. On one hand you need to be close with as many people as you can and you reach out making an attempt 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 grapple with again and again. When do you hold your head up high and walk away from the relationship?
I hold myself to a 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 really deserves that. I know that is what I'd want if the situation was switched around. But I feel that most of the time these people I'm close with 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 really recognize effort, and just hide. I don't know what it is. I do not understand what makes people do this. Is it a dearth of respect? Do you not like me? Do you not care?
As I am going through life, things really have become more intense. 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 angles that are just the grandest turnoffs I've ever come by. I try to find that balance between giving people chances, and deciding to walk away. It's hard to let people in your life go ...especially when there isn't any massive blowup of any sort.
It seems hard to switch off making an attempt to bring people joy. Because that is what it actually boils down to for me. I try and bring others as much joy as I can throughout the day. I try to make people smile. I attempt 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 really expect them to do exactly same for me...but I do look for respect, and if it is not there, I don't try to convince them...I just move on and end up leaving.
Finding the balance has been stupendously hard on my heart recently. But in all truth, I know what I must do. I should walk away. I must respect myself enough, the kind of person I am , and not accept something less than I know what I truly deserve. You have to know what you are worth. If you do not think you are worth it, you will settle for anything. Remember, people only treat you certain ways by what you accept from them.
