You know.. I've been there before I got to the point where I never trusted ANYONE. I stopped.. or well TRIED to stop helping people out who I wasn;t really sure if they deserved it, because I knew they'dd end up fucking me over in the end.
BUT.. I made new friends and found that some people.. VERY FEW people really aren;t that bad and would bend over just as far to help you out as you would do for them. Plus, I have to mention I think its really cool that you would help others even though they don't seem to be helpingyou. Thats a great quality and although you will get fucked around alot because of it (at least I did), keep doing it because Karma IS a bitch and the fuckass's that screwed you over WILL get what they deserve one day. It doesnt mean they will be back to help you, but i'm sure living with the fact you/they are a horrible person is bad enough punishment. |

Yah... luckily I've kept the very few friends from highschool that I can't remotely trust.. met a couple people i could trust with my life.. and developed the ability to close myself up a little. It keeps me from getting to know alot of people as much as I'd want.. and vice versa.. but at least i'm not super depressed anymore. |

Wow...what a depressing thread. I try and always help my friends out when I can. Why? Because they're my friends and they need help. Not so I can collect some 'help' IOU down the road. If they back-stab me or won't (as opposed to can't) help me, then fine, I may re-evaluate our friendship/relationship. But still, everyone has their strengths, weaknesses and faults. I know who among my friends to turn to when I need support, when I need to be told what I wanna hear, when I need to be told what I don't wanna hear, and when I need to be told to shut the f*ck up. Some friends may be crap at 'emotional' support, but ready willing and able to help me move a sofa - doesn't mean they're not a good friend.
Besides that, there's a good feeling you get knowing you helped someone in their time of need...the whole 'better to give than receive' thing...geez, its less than a month since xmas and that whole idea is out the door...if it was ever there at all. And that song...while lyrically powerful, certainly doesn't seem to be a particularly positive way of living one's life. Its all about shutting yourself off from the world lest it get even the slightest chance to hurt you. Lord knows, my life isn't about the mundane tasks I do day-to-day...its about how I perceive them, how I reply emotionally to them, to people, to the world. Yeah, people and the world will hurt me, disappoint me, piss me off...but people and the world will also brighten my days, give me pleasures beyond belief, and allow me to love and feel loved. To me its a worthwhile trade. K...enuf babbling... |

Hi.
You don't help people because you expect them to help you back, you should do things because that is what you ouhght to do as a human being with a spine and some sense of social responsibility. Wishing spite on someone from karma just gives you bad karma in the end@!$#% |

I think i just get disapointed in people you know. When i get to know and like somebody, I'm just like %100 behind them. I'll do anything for them, if they have beef, i have beef, if they need something i am there to give it if i have it. And when people are only half as generour back, it just confuses me, i guess. i don't get mad or anything, i'm just like what the hell is going on with this person, lol. In all honesty i have actually become jaded in the last 6 or so months, i am nowhere near as open or giving as i once was, maybe i am better off. Thank you for your reply, what you said about meeting new people who would help you out makes sense. I am thinking that all the friends i have had and kept from about the age of 14 till now are in the type of life styles for the most part that create these selfish personalities. |

Maybe you expect too much from your friends? I find myself doing this some of the time and I have to remind myself that they're only human. Sometimes you can get so close to some of your friends that you feel really comfortable showing your ugliest side (especially if you're cranky) because you know they'll be there for you. If they piss you off so much, making vague posts on a messageboard and feeling sorry for yourself is probably the last thing you should do...maybe a nice "fuck you, stop being an asshole, or I'm going my own way kthxbye" would do the trick, no?

I expect people to be decent, maybe this is too much too ask for in today’s world. Feel sorry for myself? no. I think you are responding based on your own experiences maybe, cuz you are a little off, in the way you have perceived my original post. But that's ok, we all read into situations differently. I find it funny tho how people decide what is and isn't helpful to post on a message board, when everything from the "vague", to random, ignorant, pointless, demeaning or meaningful is posted. There is a wide array of posts on here and most of them simply do not matter nor does this post. We are not trying to solve world hunger on this board or something, from what I have seen most people just post stupid meaningless shit, because they are bored,drunk,high or indifferent. I don't think any of it matters. I wasn't attempting to achieve anything by posting this, I was simply bored and disgruntled i guess.
