Okay. So I have tried several times to write this objectively but it is totally difficult. Please bear with me.
I mentioned a while back about my introspective moments and how I had been thinking of them lately. Most of that stemmed from my feelings that I had let things become so mundane. It is something that I am often guilty of letting happen but I am determined to rectify it all.
Then some outside stuff got itself into the mix and I started to feel frustrated.
Because I allow it to, other people's lives tend to complicate things in my own life. I wanna be liked and don't want others to feel any animosity but I am also a bit of a busy-body and thus I get involved with people that I sense need a great deal of ego-stroking. Why? Because I become their friends and then keep my feelings in check so that I don't piss them off or make them feel bad. The truth is that I really just want to say what I think and their feelings be damned!
Lately, I have been moving more toward that school of thought.
Every one of us goes on a life journey starting at birth. We are all sensitive, special beings. Some are strong and confident. Others are sensitive and attention-deprived. And all of these people have to recognize that there are these differences.
My question is, what is the responsibility of all of these people when they interact. How much consideration should there by for those that are highly sensitive? Should we refuse to be ourselves for fear of hurting others? And if so, isn't this being dishonest?
Part of me has been thinking that, even though I can be hyper-sensitive, I have worked hard to overcome it. That is why I get so pissed at those who cannot. If I had to overcome it (even though I have work on it every day), then why should I be expected to treat others with delicacy. No one did that for this sensitive being so why should it be my responsibility to be cautious of my behaviour?
I have decided not to give this much more consideration. From this day forward, I will say what I want. I will tell those around me that have difficulty with it that this is what the situation will be. It'll be up to them to deal with it.
Thanks for listening to my rant for today. Take care and have a great weekend!
