There are some qualities we possess that make others draw close to us. Whether it’s making people feel at ease, or protected. Or you’re the kind that get things done. Whatever it may be.
Those same qualities could also be your downfall…if you are not careful.
Take me for example.
My words are important to me; when I say something, it’s binding but somehow I find myself surrounded by people whose words don’t mean jack.
So I wonder what that makes me?
People want to be around someone like me, someone who helps them, someone who encourages them, someone they can rely on but then they’re the exact opposite of that for me.
When I need them, they’re not there. So I ask myself, who helps me?
If I’m out there helping other people, when I need help, who helps me? Who looks out for me?
The solution might appear easy; don’t help them anymore, look for others who have similar traits like you do.
But it’s not so easy.
I can’t change my good qualities because I’m surrounded by assholes, but I can move far and keep my distance. While I’m doing that, I’ll be working on my asshole meter, apparently, it is broken.
Until then…
My question is, if you value people that keep to their words, people that can help without asking what’s in it for them, why can’t you also be that person? It’s a characteristic you seem to benefit from so why can’t you adopt same values?
I guess I just expect people to be considerate, well no more.
What do y’all think?
