Weird times.
10 years ago
Do you ever feel like sometimes you have to hide away your negative feelings and truly honest opinions so that things in your life go smoothly? It's not so great.
I think I stopped doing this for a while but my life got a bit rocky with my relationships (partner, family and friends) so I recently decided to start to not let my outward emotions be influenced by my internal ones, but I figure it's just a matter of time before I have some kind of emotional disturbance or breakdown.. or something like that.
This is why I think it would be good if I could live alone, but the world is definitely made for two, and at my age it's more made for three or four people. If only something would kind of just work out, where I could have a job good enough to support myself and have my own one bedroom place. That would be... so great.
I'm having troubles with a friend I guess. I don't really know what to do at this point and I think I can't help them anymore than I already have over the past half a year or so. They're on kind of a bender of sorts and they seem to agree with everything I put forward about how their actions keep escalating and thank me for being honest and giving them some rational thoughts so they can slow down, but then everything seems to escalate more so every time. Now I feel like they're becoming annoyed with me being honest with them.
I stick to this: I'm open minded when it comes to a lot of stuff in life that people do, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, it should be fine and even fun. But I think my friend is starting to potentially hurt people with their actions. I tried to show them that they're doing this and they agreed but then went further with it not even a day later.
People can be pretty selfish just to get their kicks, but what else is new.
I've still been having trouble finding new work too, I don't know why it's taking so long. Things are starting to get rough money wise... Maybe I just have to try even harder...
Life gets weird sometimes. Oh well. I'm sure things will look up eventually.

Cant be too honest with people about how you feel otherwise you're too negative, you're not good at comforting them, and they decide to distance themselves from you and your "negativity".
<.<
I understand people have times when they rebel or have a bit of a wild ride but I can't stand others being hurt as a result...
And the adrenaline junkie? type mindset is reallyyyy terrible to deal with. I don't want to see other people getting hurt and I don't want to see them getting hurt either. Like it's scary and dangerous and I could get hurt so they REALLY WANT TO DO IT and talk about them doing it and about how they are "going to die" and it's very upsetting. I understand that you can get hurt doing a lot of things in life that are worth it but could you not frame it to me in such a way that I feel like throwing up because I'm so worried about you??? GOODNESS.
Totally keep staying honest though, it's really the best at the end of the day and it's just how you are as a person, so you shouldn't have to change that for anybody. I think some people just can't deal with it sometimes, especially if they feel vulnerable, they'll lash out.
Yeah it's pretty much adrenaline junkie as you said, it's getting so hard to stand by and watch so I really have to distance myself so it doesn't hurt me too. It's a sad thing to do and I'd rather nothing bad happen but sometimes you just have to let people go I guess. :S
